A, D to enable, disable text guides (debug) W to write your own text, then answer the questions WITH SPACE AT THE END*!!! S to initiate text with npc Press space to progress text** Based on Mother 3's text engine. See inside to see how you can use the engine in your own Scratch projects! ~~~ foot on your sticky notes ~~~ *1 or just hit enter without typing anything for a long example bible exerpt *2 I'm not adding checks for this, becuase $name and $text are hard coded. Adding checks, when you can add a space yourself, takes up more space.... ** above steps are for demonstration only and should be removed in actual usage.
This was original in pen, but I think I'll make it cloning instead -- to the rendering issue with pen and allow text animations! (jul 8) CLONING VERSION HERE: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/410324967/ (this is the version I'll continue to update) [FEATURES] (0) Custom name and text (1) Automatic text wrapping (2) Dynamic Font size (see inside) (3) 100% pen [PROS] - almost no drop in framerate - great for pixel art games - easy to use - customizable - designed to work with the "tick" loop; this is one of the reasons I made this. [CONS] - 100% pen: pen renders behind everything; can be managed - pen rendering flickers; needs optimization - no back and forward conversations ~~~ update log (old version)~~~ [v 1.0] - uploaded (jul 6) [v 1.0.1] - Now only requires two sprites; text engine and tick loop. Added sound effects. (jul 7) [v 1.2] npc framework built-in; currently no support for two people talking back and forward. Moreover, everything renders on top of text -- known "issue" with pen. (see [CONS]). Added fps profiler (jul.7) [v 2.0] changed text rendering from pen to cloning to fix issues with pen (see [CONS] x2..). This version will no longer be updated. Find v 2.0 here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/410324967/. I guess there's a bunch of water here -- come on, be imaginative!
