How do you scroll printed results that go off screen.

I have a 10 year old student who came across this problem in a book: How many different ways can you make 18 cents with 1,2,5, and 10 cent coins. As a beginner lesson for me i wrote this program to check her results. Fortunately, for 18 cents, all the options fit on screen. More, like the second pic, 21 cents, goes offscreen. I'm thinking that a possible workaround at my level is to put a counter in for the number of printed results and as soon as it reaches, say 30, use the printAt() command to start a new column.

Hello,
I created a console program (see below) that gives you new commands (cout, coutln) to print data on the screen (inside the console). To see the result, add a coutShow command. When the console is full, it is automatically displayed. You can scroll line by line (one button) or page by page (button b).Add me as a friend and you can get it or type it (as you wish).
Regards,
jihem

The easiest way to do this, if i am understanding correctly is store everything in an 2d array. You also need an offset variable. Have program display the first 16 rows or whatever. When you hit down add 1 (or whatever number you want) and redraw the results starting from the new row offset. Pushing up you can subtract from offset.

@pico8-jihem ok, cool, what’s your friend code?
-
@rdurbin ah, yes, I think I’ll give that a go, cheers.

@pico8-jihem Perhaps put your friend code in your signature?

@Nisse5 : Hi, I already have my friend code in my signature but the signatures have been disabled on the forum.
So, I put it in my profile. -
@pico8-jihem Huh, that's strange! My signature with friend code is gone as well. @Martin do you know what's going on?

Someone had a link in their signature and we don't allow those (they link off site with no warning) So they are temporarily disabled
