I am making a simple text adventure using javascript and I need a way to make the player be able to write 1, 2, 3 or 4 when asked in order to select the corresponding choices. How do I do this? readline() and console.read() don't work.

I am not using a website. I need it in the console.

    Forget about the console... Use window.prompt(). Commented Jun 20, 2013 at 21:58

  • If this is in a browser just use a textbox... Commented Jun 20, 2013 at 22:00
  • You can also use a standard text input, or a jQuery dialog, or an event listener, etc... Commented Jun 20, 2013 at 22:01
  • You can always run it on jsfiddle.net and use the tools previously suggested. Commented Jun 20, 2013 at 22:53

Reset to default
0 
document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
    if(event.keyCode == EVENTCODE) {
        //action
    }

});

in the place of EVENTCODE place numbers:

48 = 0
49 = 1 
50 = 2 
51 = 3 
52 = 4 
53 = 5 
54 = 6 
55 = 7 
56 = 8 
57 = 9,

Why not just finish the example by adding the numbers (at least partially)?
How am I supposed to use it if I have no document? I am not using a website for this.
How am I supposed to know that?
@user1571481: so in what environment is this running? Did you not think that information might be of use to the people trying to help you out?
@David Thomas I want to run it in repl.it javascript interpreter
