I want to make a multi line string. But how do I enter a new line character?

"Line 1" + ??? + "Line 2"

chr(10) represents a new line and will work with Text and Print Instructions;

"Line 1" + chr(10) + "Line 2"

Regards.

Chr(10) is a line feed, but you might be better off pairing that with a carriage return as well, like:

CRLF$=chr(13)+chr(10)

Then add CRLF$ to the string to go onto a new line.

chr(10) is sufficient, you don't need to use chr(13).

I use just chr(10) all over and it works fine.

Does anyone know if this means we can produce a multi-line text object in AppGameKit? That would improve my text box function quite a lot...

Yeah, just add a chr(10) inbetween lines and it'll work. I think that including a chr(13) is just a leftover from working with visual basic, AppGameKit doesn't seem to mind.

Maybe make a multiline text object, copy it to a sprite, then use uv-scroll to scroll it, and show only a small portion of it at a time, maybe with scissors. Easy scroll credits function?

With the scissor, you could do a Star Wars 3D title scroll, like Cliffs mode7 example .

There is a scissor command for text so you wouldn't have to turn it into a sprite really.
