    Yes I used the Google Keyboard, and it works like that:

    I type tpt.el.acid.name = NAOL I want to have NAOH, so I press backspace and it deletes both O and L. Then I press OK and in the console the text is like this: tpt.el.acid.nam = NAOH Am I doing something wrong?My fault, TPT bug, Android's bug? Help me!

    But my main question is, does it stop the game to bring up a fullscreen keyboard? Mine does that. I can't even see the console or the game itself when typing.
    Also that is very strange that deleting the last character would delete something in the middle.

    Yes, it opens a full keyboard...

    Well, that's just fine.

    Say it once, say it twice...


    No, really it is good, and there are no bugs. But the main bugs are double backspace delete and disappearing chars...

    If it opens a full keyboard, that means you aren't inside the app when typing, so it isn't a bug in tpt. It would be a bug with your keyboard. I don't know why the bug would only show up in TPT.

    The same bug happens on all my android devices, even with a USB keyboard plugged in, pressing backspace deletes two characters. In the text entry on touchscreen keyboard, the text there is how we would expect it to show, and only 1 character goes with backspace, but when press next you see the missing characters.

     

    Some other problem/bugs I have had are:

    The 'Save to disc" dialogue box doesn't respond with touchscreen, so I can't save a *.cps, but it does work with USB mouse.

    Options in the options menu don't stay. (I enable 'Newtonian Gravity', leave menu, and it's disabled again.

    Some characters in the text in the TPT app show up as sprites from other places in TPT. Like the letter 'n' showed up as the explosives tab icon. (I have only found this bug only happens to me on my fake phone, so it may be that)

    I wonder if it is a bug in the SDL port i'm using then. This port defines its own keyboard sort of, even though it looks a lot like the system one. TPT itself isn't handling the keyboard input.

    "Save to Disk" bug is noted.

    Newtonian Gravity doesn't exist in the android port at all. I disabled it because of a bug. Do the other options work?

    I still do want to go and fix all these things but it is difficult to find the time ...

    Finally, I can play this game wherever I want, though its a shame it lags a bit on my tablet.

    Has the typo been fixed in the screenshot on the first page that says "Anroid"

    I mean... its to be expected as phones/tablets are hardly a fraction as fast as desktop processors
