Text Position Help!!

[mike200015]

in a program i made, there are 2 players that enter their name, which appear at the top of the screen at the right and left corner. Beside the name it shows their score, but how would i make it so that the score will go about 3 spaces after their name depending on the length of the name.

Also on the right side (player 1 name), if the name is 2 long then it goes off the screen.. heres the code for it:

code:

var p1name,p2name :string var length1,length2,score,score2 :int score:=0 score2:=0 var font3 :=Font.New ("Arial:10") Font.Draw ("Player 1, please enter your name: ", 3, 373, font3, blue) locate (2, 36)                     %Player1 name input location colour (blue)                     %Player1 name input colour get p1name : * length2 := length (p1name) cls Font.Draw ("Player 2, please enter your name: ", 3, 373, font3, blue) locate (2, 36)                     %Player2 name input location colour (blue)                     %Player2 name input colour get p2name : * length1 := length (p2name) cls colourback (0)                         %background cls Font.Draw (p2name, 2, maxy - 12, font3, blue) locate (1, length1 + 2)                            %score2 number location colour (blue)                             %score2 remaining number colour put score2 .. Font.Draw (p1name, maxx - 80, maxy - 12, font3, blue) locate (1, maxcol - 3)                             %score number location colour (blue)                             %score number colour put score ..

i guess i could, but still if i do that then if they enter just like 2 letters or something, or a longer name i still want the space between the end of the name and the score to always be the same
