I had a wee bug in my first prototype, and since I'm planning on doing all kinds of prototyping as I plan out an include library for the thing, I figured best to aggregate developments in one thread.


The fundamental PUTSTRING feature to graphically position a string on the screen:


The PUTSTRING feature to "roll/unroll" a single character in any number of simultaneous directions (right, left, down, up):

First version of that sample had "roll right", now has "roll right" and "roll left".

Roll one direction, or roll the other direction, or simultaneously roll both directions.

Nice! Does it come in blue? Nah. Kidding. Great job!

Ok, that second demo now has "roll" in the four directions (right, left, down, up) and any combination of directions and each in amounts of between 1 and 7 pixels inclusive.

Ok. Now you are just showing off! lol

Really good stuff! Well done!
