Hi all,

I'm trying to create a game in which the player inputs text and that text pops up elsewhere on the screen or later on in the game (in other layouts). As you can see in this example (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ljvwk6bVWgC8S0LIsk_vyJTT3Jw-qfkP/view?usp=sharing, I'd like the player to type something, press enter and then have the submission show up in the first green box, then the player types something else and that submission shows up in the second green box, etc. Any tips on how I go about doing that?

Here is what I did:

Sprite has instance variable ID

Text Object is Container of Sprite and it has instance variable ID also.

And you can check the screenshot below:

In case you want to save it for other layouts, you can store them in the Array or Local Storage for longer saving.

Thank you so much for your reply, but it doesn't seem to be working and I'm not sure what I did wrong. Here's the project: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1orW3LmId3yEOVv-23ALG0cmYNmfNywU7/view?usp=sharing

Thanks again!
