@Ray_Spahn Here’s something I threw together, maybe this will help.


displayMode(FULLSCREEN)

function setup()
    k1=keybrd(100,300)    
end

function draw()
    background(40, 40, 50)
    fill(255)
    k1:draw()
end

function touched(t)
    k1:touched(t)
end

keybrd=class()

function keybrd:init(x,y)
    self.caps=false
    self.size=50
    self.x=x
    self.y=y
    self.tx=0
    self.ty=0
    self.key=""
    self.keys={{" ZXCVBNM,. "},{"ASDFGHJKL  "},{"QWERTYUIOP "},{"1234567890 "}}  
end

function keybrd:draw()
    for y=1,4 do
        for x=1,string.len(self.keys[y][1]) do
            fill(255)
            rect(self.x+x*self.size,self.y+y*self.size,self.size,self.size)
            fill(0)
            text(string.sub(self.keys[y][1],x,x),
