OVERVIEW:
-Name:
Turbo Print Parser
-Version: 1.0 (Updated 25th of July 2016)
-Purpose: Advanced text output formatting
-Game Maker version: Studio (probably could be backported)
-Target Platform: Any
-Price: $2
-Documentation (.txt): Dropbox link

DESCRIPTION:
>>
This is a heavyweight parser meant to replace draw_text_ext() in special conditions, mostly when the text needs advanced formatting. This is done via tags similar to those in HTML, which include:
  • Changing text colour*,
  • Changing text opacity,
  • Changing the font,
  • Making interactive / click-able text (links),
  • Printing sprites alongside text (can also be links)
*Choice of text colours is not hard-coded; you can use any colour that GM can render.

>>The parser also includes:
  • Regular text alignments,
  • Horizontal text justification,
  • Support for "typewriter" printing effect
>>It's fully made in GML, so it can be used on any target platform; however, be warned that with large amounts of text and/or many links it can be very CPU intensive.

>>This script set is very easy to use and well commented, and includes documentation on how it's used.

>>Full customer support is offered via E-mail, Skype or Game Maker Community, and additional functionality may be added on-request.
