Q: Wrap Actor Text

I have an actor placed at the top of the view in a 240x320 window. I am assigning text to the actor using strcpy. It has become apparent though, that some of my assigned text is going off the screen out of view.

Is there a method to wrap the text to stay on the screen?

Thank you.

To stop text going off the screen, you can use a smaller font, or put a new line in the string. The new line character is '\n'. Alternatively you could have the text scrolling across the top, depending on the effect you want. If you like, I can write a function to do this.

Thank you for the offer - very generous. However, I am just looking to wrap text. Currently im using \n , but was wondering if wrapping text was built in.. some how. Thanks!
