Codea does not support reading from the console. You will have to use parameter.text() (look at docs). Also, to format your code properly, use ~~~ before and after code. Welcome to the forums, BTW!
Codea is a graphic program, not a text program. It is designed to animate games, puzzles etc, and only has limited text support.
Glad I could help.
@Willkassens You asked a similar question in a previous post “Game text code help to fix” about io.read. You were given an example of what’s involved. It’s not going to change just because you ask a different question.
@Willkassens There’s a lot of new things to learn and ways of doing it when switching to Codea. I found it quite awkward at first using Codea, but now it seems natural. It’s even easy doing a lot of things that were impossible in the other languages I was using.
@Willkassens - I strongly recommend looking at some of the tutorials and ebooks on the wiki link above, to get an understanding of how Codea “thinks”. It is quite different from normal programming, but very addictive when you get used to it.
