Attract-Mode game list question
« on: November 19, 2016, 04:06:42 AM »
Hi all,

In Attract-Mode, is there any way of making the game name scroll when it is highlighted?  Some of the names are really long but they are truncated.

Cheers,
Matthew

you can use the  "scrollingtext.nut" located in <modules\objects  folder
read the nut file their is an example in it that should get you started

than make a "list"  and set the hi-lighted current game,, alpha to 0  and put your scrolling text in the center..
make both fonts the same.

I can show you an example if you want.....later tonight when i get home from work...
help a friend....

Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to use an existing Attract Mode theme (Pac-Man) or do I have to create my own?

Cheers,
