This set up is pretty simple to use. Simply type what you want the sprite to type and it will do so. If you want to create a new line you must use ª. Just copy one of these ª characters and put it where you would normally put a space (e.g. "the end.ªThe start"). Alternatively, if on Windows, press and hold alt, type 166 (with num lock on), and let go of alt to create the ª character.If you want to create an indents like I did, follow ª characters with spaces (e.g. "ª "). (Indents can also be made at the start of the typing, the beginning is treated like a new line.)
Turbo Mode: Shift + Flag This program is a revamp and overhaul of my old typing system used for the "Scratch Command Prompt" projects ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/2126028/ ). It is far more advanced and gave me many more headaches. I find it hard to believe that I thought I might use the old one for text adventures. I have made it so that it supports as many characters as I want for to draw the costumes. They all come from the courier font and are the following: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 A a B b C c D d E e F f G g H h I i J j K k L l M m N n O o P p Q q R r S s T t U u V v W w X x Y y Z z ¬ £ ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ = + \ | [ ] { } ; : ' " < > , . ? / Feel free to let me know if you want others, but make sure they are possible to be typed into the "Type" box first. I'll either add them or politely decline, depending on the difficulty of shoving them into a 7x11 square. Any characters not currently implemented will come up simply as a question mark (save for the ª, which will instead create a new line.) I was inspired to fix up my old typing system when I came by Skoshiman's "Scrolling Text!" ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/73056900/ ). It was from this project I had the idea to hyphenate words across the lines, though I ended up using this only for words that were longer than a single line can hold. Go check out his stuff and make sure to follow him!~ I have included annotations to tell you how it works, and you can feel free to take it and use it in your own projects. I believe I have worked out the kinks, just let me know if you want more. ~Keani signing off. Update - 2:25 AM GMT 17th September 2015 Gaining Inspiration from Prinseskat's project "Vector and pen text engines" ( ) I decided to make text size changeable with the block. This should be the last major overhaul, and it seems to work well so far! Let me know if you run into any issues with it. ~Keani Update - 3:15 AM GMT 17th September 2015 I realised that it looked silly to have a word longer than a line to take a new line, so I changed the code. Now it will check that the word doesn't fit on the line, but it will also check that it doesn't fit on a new line. If both cases are true, it will not make a new line. ~Keani Update - 1:51 AM GMT 23rd September 2015 I messed up -w- I just fixed something that could have messed up some edge detection in future projects of mine. All should be good now, no problem anymore! ~Keani Update - 3:03 PM GMT 23rd September 2015 I actually found another bug, and it was a tough one to fix! A new line after a word using multiple lines would be treated as an unknown character rather than create a new line. Fixing this caused words ending perfectly before a new line to make the next paragraph blend less well. Please let me know if there are any other bugs that you notice! ~Keani
