I'm not too good of a Quickbasic programmer.

That being said, I was wondering how to do a neat little special effect. The special effect is that one or more plains, sometimes offset and angled from the main window where text can scroll from bottom up.

I'm thinking I would have to work with an: array for the text lines, and some how visibly placing it on the plain, but how?

This is what I have so far. I'm just trying to get the text on the plain. It compiles OK, but I just get a black screen. (I'm a real noobie)

I'm not any good at QuickBasic either.

So many games to code.......so little time.

That works pretty darned good. Now, if I could figure out where I messed up my own code! Thanks for that!
