Introduction

This is a fast Textbox Engine in pure GML available for GMS 2.3+. Using these scripts is very easy: Just import the scripts in your project and you are ready to go! We have included the scrolling script from the Smooth Scrolling tutorial to demonstrate the efficiency of this Textbox Engine for large texts!

Advantages
• Very fast due to initialisation, much faster than other engines (pure GML!)
• Change both colours and fonts in the text
• Flexible, as you can call draw_textbox_init whenever you want
• Different fonts will not be drawn over each other

Further information
• For colours, you can use the internal GM colours, like c_black. If you want to add more colours, add them to *draw_textbox_data* manually.
• For fonts, first create a font with a name. Then add it manually to *draw_textbox_data*. The example should be clear enough to get you started!

Download scripts

The scripts can be download from YoyoGames's marktplace: https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/7252/fast-textbox-engine
