For use with the fonts above.

So, what is this?

This is a work-in-progess word wrap system which also processes "Action words".  

And what the BLEEEP is an "Action word", you ask??

It's a word that causes an action!!

Umm... Think a hyperlink.  Click it, and it opens up a webpage.   

Though, in this case, I expect it to be able to do more things for me -- such as popup a text descriptor or a word, or perhaps an image, or give a creatures stats or weapon quality, or....

Yout get it, I hope -- it's a word which we can then process to perform an ACTION!!

In this work-in-progress demo, I only have ONE action supported at the moment:  Create a text pop up to add description about a word.

Other actions will come as time allows.



And what the heck is ALL this for you ask?

The engine behind what I hope to be a very interactive and intuitive Text-Adventure Game.  Want more information on an antique desk in the room?  Instead of typing something like "Inspect desk" and getting a "You can not inspect that" type message, you can tell at a glance if the desk is underlined and highlighted as an interactive object.  Left click it to inspect it.  Right click it to pull up a popup to interact with it (try to move it, ect)...

Resizable, word-wrapping, with action words!  Who could ever want anything more??  Big Grin
