um, wat u could do is create maybe a helper program with Timendus's API, there are several good routines in there that can do wat u want

And API's sprite and greyscale routines are probably the fastest in existence at the moment. Or so I believe.

I was looking for a routine that writes normal 6*8 text to the graphscreen and wraps it. Graphscreen because there I can overlap text to make the cool sprites in my War of Mmruda game.

I was pretty sure there were some flags that could toggle wether font wraps, and its size.

hmm... I want a greyscale graphscreen text option for my own readons

Radical Pi · « **Reply #19 on:** January 18, 2006, 10:36:00 am »

I don't mean greyscale. Just two screens full of text that are ORed to the graphscreen.

I knew that, but this is calc programming so I stated my want

Did Desolate have GS text?

CDI · « **Reply #22 on:** January 19, 2006, 09:31:00 am »

yep, and I loved it

in basic it woulkd be kinda hard, but possible, the text would have to be stored in advance in two pics

dragon__lance · « **Reply #24 on:** January 19, 2006, 03:14:00 pm »

wat u can do is create a textdecoder like mine or spellshapers. in the string, when u want to go to the next line, just have a token like "-" represent it. and yeah, i think grayscale text is impracticle with BASIC, just too much work

Shame! Don't declare the possible impossible! I think a routine could be added in xlib though which reads a string and does the placing on some pics which you would have recall.

hmm... I could do it with HS text if manages properly... or custom text?

kalan_vod · « **Reply #27 on:** January 20, 2006, 11:16:00 am »

Well it would be flashy if done with home screen, but it would take less space.

CDI · « **Reply #28 on:** January 20, 2006, 11:18:00 am »

nono, the size text... otherwise known as BIG text

kalan_vod · « **Reply #29 on:** January 20, 2006, 11:19:00 am »

Oh, well if you are going to use 8x8 blocks to use the big text I would just make my own.
