  R0J0's math to the rescue again.

  Basically you take the angle between two points(angle()).

  That just happens to be 99% of the way between the control point, and the last point splined.

  You don't need a license to sell your games.

  You have to upgrade if you make over x amount for both versions.

  No idea if that still is in effect for C2, but a contract is a contract.

  Just like the form you agreed to when you registered on the forum.

  If he did he would use that... probably.

  I think he's a bit tired a version control though.

  Iframes aren't very good way imo. They sit on top of everything, and may run in to issues with cors just about anywhere, if the specific platform doesn't have its own issues cough ios.

  There is no silver bullet because a gui can be done in such a wide variety of ways and styles.

  Learn hierarchies, blend modes with masks, and take a look at some of the third party plugs.

  You would have to keep track of the length of the lines externally.

  It should be easy to figure out per word. Len() x character width.

  Text and Textbox will cause issues if you are constantly changing them.

  Spritefont shouldn't because the texture is already loaded.

  Don't use text, or text box. They are hard on the system.

  You could maybe get away with Spritefont.

  About the simplest method would be to make your own custom sprite font out of Sprites.

  One letter per frame and have the special characters have their bounding boxes be bigger than the other letters. You would then compare the frame, or instance variable when the frame is clicked.

  I assume you already figured out the parsing.

  Making a custom size bounding box would be another matter as you cant change the width without changing the texture, unless you use a mesh, or a hierarchy.

  That's actually a big deal for Doom type games.

  Nice.

  It would be better to ask how to do something rather than how to do it with the methods you're having trouble with. Break it down in to steps if need be.

  Just use the Iframe plug with a custom html page.
