Even storing to Ans takes memory, but you could also hardcode it in a way that it still used loops, which would eliminate the extra memory used by storing to a variable, as well as the extra memory used by repeating the Text() function and newlines and so on

I tried to come up with a possible way to use For( and not storing string to ans, but I couldn't find a good way to do so (if all the rows had same length it's possible but then not all the row characters are same so I need to use inString, which, if you want to use it in combination with sub(, you need to save Str to some place else you'll have to hardcode the whole string twice which is worse)

Of course, the best way to deal with the screen problem is to just use drawing commands if the title screen is simple enough.

If it is simple enough, yes. I've used drawing commands to draw my title screen.

But if it has a lot of black spaces, like ztrumpet's Elmgon title screen, vertical text sprite is fastest way to draw all of them other than using pic var
