Vorple Custom Interface

Hello again, all!

I’m trying to figure out how to take over the UI layer of Vorple like I can do with glk by making my own GlkOte object. Vorple doesn’t set up the main interface the way I need but I want to make use of the Javascript functionality.

Anyone know how to do this?

It depends on what you want to do, but generally you manipulate the UI just as any other web page. See the Screen Effects and Status Line extensions for examples.

Mainly, I don’t want to use an to take input, I want to use an editable

instead and track the keystrokes so that all the game text is integrated.

Use vorple.prompt.hide() to hide the original prompt, add your own input method and have it trigger vorple.prompt.queueCommand(cmd) (where cmd is the command) to pass commands to the engine.

I will try that out. Thanks again!
