Justified text power!

February 7th, 2007 Posted in development screenshot, indie life

Today I just downloaded the new PTK version. I was enthusiast to try the new “justified text align” in the DrawMultiline command. But in practice, what does this means? it means that now you can write “columns of text” with justified spacing, like those you see in the newspaper.

To make it even more clear, compare the 2 screenshots below:

Magic Stones quest screen before (normal centered text, look in particular to the right scroll)
Magic Stones quest screen now (justified text, isn’t much nicer?)

PTK is really becoming better and better :)
