Scrolling Scaling Centering Switching in and out of scales and or fonts Attaching to mouse This code is aimed at beginners by a beginner so don't expect fancy stuff, but you will discover a lot of simple techniques that get the job done. I began this journey wanting to learn how to scroll centered text on a "Credits" page and ended up doing a bunch of other stuff and here you have it. Here is the initial discovery for centering text. (Default or Image fonts). DrawText text1,sw/2-TextWidth(text1)*scalex/2,y I could not find this anywhere but after a lot of trial and error came up with it. (Probably the whole world uses this - they just never posted it anywhere) ;) URL to download code -> http://localocate.biz/blitz/centeredtext.bmx.zip |
