I'm not sure what people think of this but here it goes


Just something ive been playing with, Something I wrote quite a while ago in c that read the characters in a dos window then replaced every one with its one
less character equivalent. this effectively gave the effect of the text dissolving away until adventually all text was character 32 a space character. The c version worked
nicely so ive been playing with text in agk and thought ide show what I have so far. A much larger text filling the screen looks allot better but I thought ide post what
I have so far

Now with added alpha subtraction and removal of the frame limiter as speed was needed
I also added a global variable so that it no longer calls subtract routine once its completed

I hope someone finds this simple routine useful

I like this.

It needs a proper timer so the effect can be transitioned over whatever period time is required. Something like this:



The function would have be tidied up so it could be used in a project but the effect is nice. I also like the original post, where the individual characters disappeared.
