um, wat u could do is create maybe a helper program with Timendus's API, there are several good routines in there that can do wat u want ;)wink.gif

And API's sprite and greyscale routines are probably the fastest in existence at the moment.  Or so I believe.

I was looking for a routine that writes normal 6*8 text to the graphscreen and wraps it. Graphscreen because there I can overlap text to make the cool sprites in my War of Mmruda game.

I was pretty sure there were some flags that could toggle wether font wraps, and its size.
One of these days I'll get a sig I'm really proud of.

I don't mean greyscale. Just two screens full of text that are ORed to the graphscreen.

wat u can do is create a textdecoder like mine or spellshapers. in the string, when u want to go to the next line, just have a token like "-" represent it. and yeah, i think grayscale text is impracticle with BASIC, just too much work ;)wink.gif

 Shame! Don't declare the possible impossible! I think a routine could be added in xlib though which reads a string and does the placing on some pics which you would have recall.

Well it would be flashy if done with home screen, but it would take less space.

Oh, well if you are going to use 8x8 blocks to use the big text I would just make my own.
