yep doesn't really do much does it?
just prints on the same line.

That's a pretty useful command IMO. Not everything has to be printed on the next line, like in that rainbow text example (of course it could be done with print statements, but with a lot of cursor placement commands as well).

Yeah, but Text requires screen coordinates for every call. When you're in a hurry and just need to debug, the Print commands can suffice.

Though performance-wise Text is still much better.

Anyone heard of 2 more hidden commands?

leebamber
malcolmbamber

They must have been listed before, but heh...
and these both act as print statements - not text :S

Edit: christopherbamber -- how could I forget that one?

Apparently some of commands listed here are not documented in the manual:

Of course, it doesn't include the sneaky Bamber commands

'Object Collision Radius' sounds interesting...
