Text Input Template for GB Studio v2.0

As of writing this, GB Studio has a method to read inputs from variables and output the the matching text, but no software keyboard. This is an example template for a way to implement one! I tried to keep the coding simple in this one to help with understandability, so there are ways things can be made more efficient (such as using Flags for True/False instead of a dedicated Variable for each one). You'll also find Comments (the green text blocks) sprinkled throughout the code. There are many ways to improve and style this to make it your own, including expanding it to 8 character entry (or more with some clever coding!), changing the character set to add new symbols or even different languages, and so on! This is only a launching-off point.

Further details are in the enclosed Readme. Feel free to make any changes to fit your needs, and use this in whatever game or project you're making! Crediting me ( Setsune Wave, setsune.itch.io ) is very appreciated but not required.
