Finally Working - Word Wrapping


I’ve been coding the game for about a month now without too many issues slowing me down. Then I had to write an algorithm to wrap a string of words and fit it inside a box or determined size.

It sounds simple enough but it is actually quite a complicated piece of code to write to get it to work properly. Each character may have a different width and each character has its own kerning and I needed to manually add my own space in between words. Plus there is a line-height property and padding around the box that it needs to be in.

I know it has been done before but I like to challenge myself and write my own code from scratch. Now I have a function that converts strings to sprite-based fonts. So I can draw my own font and set each characters property and display it with word-wrapping. Yay!

So far the game only has one vehicle but more being planned. It's working; just has a few bugs to work out with collisions. The script I wrote can be applied to any vehicle in the game since the physics do not need to be too realistic.

Working on a new project called Adventure Ops where you explore a world to discover secrets and solve a mystery. Game is coming along nicely.
