Stencyl Scrolltext
I could not find any programming tutorials on how to do scroll text with Stencyl. If you have lived as long as me, you might remember the damascene in the 80s and 90s. I first did this kind of stuff about 25 years ago on Amiga computers. Anyway here is how to do Stencyl Scrolltext.
In my example project I used 800 x 600. You can of course use any resolution you want. Just for fun I did add a background picture here. But for this example it is not needed.
Start by create a scene.
I used 4 attributes in this example.
xPos (Number)
TextNo (Number)
ScrollText (Text)
endPos (Number)
With this example you can edit the text as you like. The code will calculate the length of the text in pixels. And work out how far it need to scroll to make it disappear before displaying the next line of text.
With this you have made the first step to a retro intro/demo (if that was your goal). Just add a background picture, some music and maybe a star field. And you have your self a nice little retro demo.
