Cool... The "number_of_lines" was the first thing I tinkered with... lol I had a crazy thought about the 'efficiency' in relation to text printing beyond the top of the screen... what if the "y" half of set caret was monitored and only display the text if it is greater than zero... or something like that... too crazy? (not sure if I worded that correctly... after all... it's been more than 8 hours since my last coffee... lol)
If I take up a text adventure, and there is no promise or guarantee of that happening, it will involve a LOT of work... I know that there are many "Interactive Fiction" engines out there, which will certainly shorten the creative time immensely, but that will reduce the amount of fun and satisfaction of creating it "by hand"...
Oh. Another use for the "scrolling"... replace the pressing of the space bar with a timer and it could be used to create a "Star Wars" crawl... of course the "shrinking" font will need to be worked on... but still...
Thanks for the code... this could be fun...
