Sliding Text?

[CellHG]

Is their a way to get some text sliding/scroll across the bottom of my main menu? like what news channels have with the top stories sliding across?

[Scribbles]

yes, with ATL/transform language I believe. can you be more specific as to what you're wanting it to say/look like?

[Imperf3kt]

Sounds like you want a 'tickertape'
As Scribbles notes, you can do this using ATL. But exactly how you implement it depends on what you're after.

I basically just want people who are backing the game's name to scroll across the bottom with a slightly dark transparent background.

Try something along the lines of:

Code: Select all

default patrons = range(100)

transform my_scroll():
    subpixel True
    xpan -180
    linear 60.0 xpan 180
    repeat
    
screen patrons():
    frame:
        background Frame(Solid("#00000011"))
        yalign .9
        at my_scroll()
        has hbox spacing 5
        for p in patrons:
            text str(p) yalign .5
    
label start:
    call screen patrons
    "All Done!"

Replacing:

Code: Select all

default patrons = range(100)

with a list of your supporters:

Code: Select all

default patrons = ["Jake", "Funny Guy"]

and etc.

You can just add:

Code: Select all

use patrons

to the main_menu screen instead of calling.

This also assumes at least one full screen of supporters, otherwise you can just repeat names a couple of times.
