print + scroll text big to an image (is there a better way?)

[SMcNeill]

Isn't this the easiest example of something like this that you're talking about?

Code: (Select All)

DisplayScreen = _NewImage(1280, 720, 32)

Screen DisplayScreen

ScaleScreen = _NewImage(_Width / 4, _Height / 4, 32)

_Dest ScaleScreen 'set _DEST to print to the smaller screen which we want to upscale



'Screen ScaleScreen

Do

    junk = junk + 1

    Print "Hello World #" + Str$(junk) + " ";

    'do whatever else we want.   Falalalala

    _PutImage , ScaleScreen, DisplayScreen 'put the scaled text to the screen

    _Display 'prevent flickers

    _Limit 30 'play nice with CPU usage

Loop Until _KeyHit
