[[Solved]] Scroll-able text box
Unknown
Member
I've been designing and building a text adventure game and I would like to create a box that can hold text and depending on the users screen size it will wrap the text in that box. It'll allow the user to scroll down making them able to read the text. I've researched for two days now trying different things and I thought it would be best to ask for a little help since I can't find an answer to this. I have created a box though.
I am new to Gideros and I know the basic's of Lua.

local G = {} local function run() --Screen boxes informationbox = Shape.new() informationbox:setFillStyle(Shape.SOLID,0xa6a6a6, 0.5) informationbox:beginPath() informationbox:moveTo(0,0) informationbox:lineTo((application:getDeviceHeight()/4.7),0) informationbox:lineTo((application:getDeviceHeight()/4.7),(application:getDeviceWidth()/3.4)) informationbox:lineTo(0,(application:getDeviceWidth()/3.4)) informationbox:endPath() informationbox:setPosition(25,25) stage:addChild(informationbox) --Textbox --Code here for scroll able text box end G.run = run return G |

Hope you will find what you are searching for, in that topic. That topic was created in the year 2012 so many time has passed over it. I am sure it is still working hence all the code was pure lua and so much less depended on the improvements and deprecation that is done by gideros so far. I also tried to improve and add some functionalities those times.
If you have done any improvements in the code i will be so much interested also, if it is not confident information or project, sharing will be so much appreciated.
