Making Credits

[BigBear]

I am wondering if someone can help me get started making credits. I was thinking makeing text move by changing the variable y then when y = maxy then y:=o and draw another group of words that move by the variable y. Any Ideas

draw them all on the screen where you can see them first, then add like 1000 to y cord, and now do a for-loop minus the y cord, and voola simple and stupid

even better a cheap trick write out your credits on paint or something make it fancy as you want save it as a jpeg
then jsut move the picture up nad down the screen soo much less coding
and i think would look better?

The best way would be to make a procedure that takes one line, as a string and scrolls it all the way down the screen. It will make programming your credits much easier.

The procedure would look sort-of like this:

Turing:

proc scroll (line : string)     % Scroll line string down the screen. end scroll

Then all you would have to do is a series of calls for your credits:

Turing:

scroll ("Programmer - BigBear") scroll ("some other task - person's name")

You will also have to find where to place the text so it is centre. Just some basic math (mean/average).

If you make it that simple, you can easily implement loading the credits from a file as well.

They were all great suggestions almost as if you guys had done it before.

I ended up just making it in paint but had to make multiple txt boxes then changed to to white writing and had to either change each pixel white. so I ended up doing some simple code in turing to Font.Draw my text then took a screen shot and pasted in into another paint cut the text out and pasted it into my credits bitmap.

Turing:

setscreen ("graphics:max;max") %var font : int := Font.New ("Arial:35:Bold") % Bold for Titles var font : int := Font.New ("Arial:35:italic") %italic for Names lol drawfillbox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, black) Font.Draw ("Cody Scott", maxx div 2, maxy div 2, font, white)

I wondering why my teacher wanted credits. This is not my Ego. lol

Anyways here is my finished product thanks alot.
