Notes taking... An in game notepad/postit

I'd like to recommend that in addition to finishing one of the Penpersonship skills, we have a persistent notepad located in our Rock icon to take notes.

The in-game notes could be used to notate places, make a shopping list, leave a reminder of where we "left the game" or other such reminders for when we return. The notepad could be limited to 255 characters via the flash textInputInstance.maxChars AS definition so as to keep data sizes down and would truly help us old farts out in remembering where we left off.

  • +eleventy- I find myself opening Notepad quite a bit to make little notes, but this would be much simpler.

  • @Djabriil (or should I say Bilbo Baggins)

    Yup, me too... I've been using a google docs document where ever I can; Writing down epiphanies such as this one (the need for note taking), in game notes to remember locales and other useful Glitch'isms to help me get reoriented when I return to the game.

    However, an in-game notes would be awfully more convenient than ALT+TAB'ing to another screen and would help keep all my glitchy things in glitch.

  • I asked about this ages ago - hasn't happened yet but maybe it will soon. It would be really useful. I use Notepad too at the moment but it doesn't seem like a very good solution. Maybe our rocks could keep notes for us?

  • +1 for sure. I would love that. I'm always taking notes for shopping lists and that would help a lot.

  • I recently discovered that it's possible to edit notes you've written in the game, so I've actually got a "Shopping List" note that I edit over and over to keep track of things. It's not ideal, but it works and keeps your note in the world of Glitch instead of some random corner of a hard drive. :)

  • Great idea c0mad0r! Right now I use teleportation scripts as notes when I find a special area I don't want to forget, but they are a bit unwieldy. the notes we can make with penpersonship have the same issues...

    Yeah, I've lost or donated almost every "scratch" paper I've used for making notes to myself in game. With all those bags, you know just how easy it is to lose things and it would just be so much more simplified if it were tied to the interface in Friendly Rock's menu or elsewhere accessible.

  • You know, even something like a whiteboard you can place in your home would be kinda neat. You can write yourself little reminders or doodle on it, etc. But I'm definitely for some sort of note-taking system in Glitch.
