Lol!  I did this using old Starcraft sprites, and his head is hanging down there as well.  I guess his neck just grew into place like that

I got cutscenes working, a demonstration of using Word Wrap to the fullest.  Screenshot below. There are NO SPOILERS: What you see is an introductory mission having nothing to do with the plot.

I also included the source code, but most of it is hard to understand without context.  So I bolded and commented the Correlation-related code.

Quote

;ThetaMax is how far to the right to draw text in Word Wrap Mode.
;TMax is how far down to draw text.

96->Thetamax
59->Tmax



0->Xmin
94->Xmax
-62->Ymin
0->Ymax
ZoomSto
4->W
0->E
0->F
32->G
1->D

sub(Str0,W,G)->Str9

;Set Wrap Mode, meaning text drawn too far to the right is wrapped to the next line.  M1 = Mode 1.

int("M1
int(ZECUTSCN

;Draws the cutscene "text" (graphics)
e^(E,F,Str9)


W+G->W

;Update the screen.  DD doesn't mean anything, but I'm using it
;cause it stuck in my head as "the command to use"

int("DD


For(Z,1,600
End

For(Z,-44,-62,-1
Line(0,Z,95,Z,0
End
Line(0,-43,95,-43
Line(18,-43,18,-63
ListCUTSC(D+2)->Z
While W<=length(Str0)

int("M1

;The next command tells Correlation that "M" and "W" are wider
;than the rest of the characters used for text.  WY stands for
; WMMode Yes

int("WY

ListZTEXT(Z)->Theta
Z+1->Z
sub(Str0,W,1)->Str9


int(ZEPORTRA

;Displays a portrait of the character that is talking

e^(46,1,Str9


W+1->W

sub(Str0,W,Theta)->Str9
W+Theta->W

;Word Wrap Mode.  M2 is Mode 2.

int("M2
int("ZERATULT
e^(45,20,Str9

End

Wow looks great! It will make development of BASIC games so much easier. My favorite part is really word-wrapping. Could you post the strings content too so it's easier for people to know what is displayed by the code?

Yeah, I like the word wrapping, although I still have a few touchups to put on it.  You can thank Rebma Boss...I was using word wrapping for S.A.D., and he was telling me "You know, why don't you incorporate Word Wrapping into Correlation?  I know that some people are frustrated having to display text one line at a time"

Anyways, here's the string.  The token "and" means Pause, and the token "Theta" means stop displaying the string.  Basically you can display text using several "and"s, allowing the user to press enter in between text.

Cutscene Data.  I have a font dedicated to cutscene graphics, so there's a 32 character string telling Correlation what to display
