hi, I'm formatting a table using a sprite font object.
I plan on saving data each player's turn. I will save the data to CSV database. I also want to display this info in a table.
So I was planning on using a monospace font and cycling through the CSV and for each ROW I would create an "append" to the spritefont text. In between the fields I would add tab characters to make everything line up.
Is there a better way to do this? Also what is the character for tab? I know SHIFT-ENTER is newline but every time I use the TAB key in C3 I tab-out and lose focus on the field. When I type \t it just displays the text.
When I build the string there is no system var for tab (like newline) how would I format the append text so my columns line up? I probably need to do a len() or something.
*EDIT okay so I'm now setting up a new spritefont instance for each column.. that seems to work better so far
