In-game console

Description

This adds a console to your game.

You can open it with ~ sign, and enter commands with arguments. Close with ~ or Esc.

Features:

• you can define your own commands - as much as you need!
• every command can get up to four arguments, optional or required
• keyboard events are locked, so for example if you have platform game and you open menu with "M" key and have "music" command, writing it won't open menu
• you can navigate trough history of 10 entered commands back/forward
• every line can have it's own color
• you can define number of lines to show, and changing font family/size will update console dimensions without any code changes!
• supports LEFT/RIGHT for moving cursor/caret inside text, and HOME/END to go to start/end of current line!
• ideal for special commands while you debug your game, or for players to enter passwords / cheats
• works also under HTML5 !!!
• sadly works only under PC (Win/Mac/Linux), as mobile doesn't support keyboard (but you can of course extend your GM and make it work also there).

Attached example show several commands, which you can display with "help" command.
