How did you have text slowly fade away after printing?

[Dave]

If you multiply a colour vector's alpha (transparency) component by a number less than 1 inside a loop, you'll gradually reduce opcacity by a percentage. I imagine it's something along these lines! Could be completely wrong however.

textCol = { 1, 0, 0, 1 }
fadeTimer = 0
loop
    clear()
    ink( textCol )
    print( "this" )
    fadeTimer += 0.1
    if fadeTimer >= 10 then
        if textCol.a > 0 then
            textCol.a *= 0.9
        endif
    endif
    update()
repeat

This is of course very rudimentary compared to what @Jongjungbu is doing, since they have all sorts of different text being displayed. But I believe the concept will be the same. In this example our fadeTimer variable needs to reach 10 before the fade out begins. The 0.9 on line 10 is the speed of the fade. Multiplying by 0.99 will be a ten times slower fade.

Genuinely getting a bit emotional here!

Have you shared the new version dude? I'll be hanging out with some friends this evening and I'd love to show off your creation!

Tested it now. Very nice!

Feature request: support backspace to edit words.

I love having the backspace on B button press. Is it possible for you to add the X button Space input like it is in the editor? I found myself doing this a lot whilst playing!

@Jongjungbu Just checking: has the lack of support for non-printing characters been mentioned in the Wish List thread?

We will at some point soon be locking that thread for a while so we can go through it properly internally so if it isn't in there, it's worth adding if it's something you feel you want.

He hasn't shared it, so no.
