13 Jan 2022, 01:20I am just working on a short cyberpunk/glitch themed game. I have published it as a private link to test it out.
I t looks good on PC but when accessing it on a phone (via the link)...the typed in text does not show on the screen until after you have pressed enter...
Any tips. Here is the initial code.

I know the music intro won't work (without some serious work-arounds) but I am interested in having the typed text visible
