A simple CRT terminal in Godot with basic input/output functionality
You can likely just use the code and swap out the shader/ui for your use case
This project is for Godot 3, and will not work with Godot 4
Usage is simple, some sample code can be found in the examples folder, but here is some simple input and output:
# This assumes you have a root node that has a terminal as a child of it
extends Control
# Class name is optional
class_name TerminalExample
# Get the terminal's root node
onready var terminal = $Terminal
func _ready():
# Printing lines is a simple function call
terminal.print_line("This is a line, printed on the terminal")
# You can also print a string directly, without the automatic line ending
terminal.print_string("This is a line, manually ended\n")
# To get user input you need to yield the function to wait until it finished.
var user_input = yield(terminal.get_input("Type some input! "), "completed")
# Clear the terminal of all text
terminal.clear()
# Finally, print the input that was saved into the variable
terminal.print_line(user_input)This project uses the CRT Shader made by arlez80 on godotshaders.com and can be found in the following link: https://godotshaders.com/shader/crt-shader/
