Typewriter Effect in Turing

[Tasty Pastry]

I'm trying to make a game in Turing, and I want to have an option to speed up the text as its appearing across the screen. I've been able to speed up the text, but only after another line has started. Is it possible to have it speed up whenever the user presses down a key?

Turing:

var chars : array char of boolean proc TypewriterPrint(text : string) loop Input.KeyDown (chars)  if chars (KEY_ENTER) then   for i : 1..length(text)     delay(50)     put text(i) ..   end for   put "" else for i : 1..length(text)   delay(100)   put text(i) ..  end for  put "" end if end loop end TypewriterPrint TypewriterPrint("This will be printed like a typewriter")

Sorry if my code is a little messy, I'm still learning the ins and outs of Turing.

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.11

If you want to change the speed on a per-letter basis, then maybe you should put the code that decides the speed in the same loop as the code that prints the letters. You code is currently formatted as follows:

code:

loop    %decide speed    for each letter        print letter        delay (speed)   end for end loop

You should re-format it as follows:

code:

loop     for each letter         %decide speed         print letter         delay (speed)    end for end loop

Thank you so much! It works now.
