Title: Text Wrapping and Scrolling Routine
Post by: leafy on January 23, 2011, 11:13:43 pm

I was just wondering if anybody created one, because I can't find one on this here intarwebs. I'm going to use it to incorporate dialog into some of my programs.

I think there is a routine for scrolling text, here it is, I think it was Quigibo who made it:

Code: [Select]

Lbl TX
->B:~1->A
ClrHome
While {A+1->A+B}
Disp >Frac
Pause 160
ReturnIf getKey
End
Pause 3000
Return
Now, here's me using it:

Code: [Select]

"THIS TEXT WILL BE SCROLLING DOWN, AND IT WILL BE WRAPPED SO IT FITS THE SCREEN. HOWEVER, SOME WORDS MAY BE CUT HALF"->Str1
Str1sub(TX)

sub(TX)

@leafiness: are you interested in wordwrapping, or is having some words cut in half acceptable?

I was actually thinking of using the smaller text - the Text( function rather than Disp. I'm okay with words getting cut off, though.

I've made word wrapping routines before, but not in Axe.  I'll look into it and get back to you.
