This is nothing vital, but man, it's something I've missed since way back in my Unix days of TinyTalk and TinyFugue in college. I used to have mine set up so that it would outdent the first line of anything said in the output window, and indent the rest of the lines two characters or so, making following the conversation in a crowded room much easier. So, for example, to steal a bit from Hamlet, a scene in his mother's bedroom might look like this:
CODE TheQueen says, "Have you forgot me? Hamlet says, "No, by the rod, not so: You are the Queen, and your husband's brother's wife, and -- would it were not so! -- you are my mother." TheQueen says, "Nay, then, I'll set those to you that can speak. Hamlet says, "Come, come, and sit you down; you shall not budget; you go not till I set you up on a glass, where may you see the inmost part of you. TheQueen says, "What wilt thou do? Thou wilt not murder me? -- Help, help, ho! Polonius stirs from where he is hiding behind a curtain. He shouts, "What ho, help, help, help!" Hamlet hears the sound, draws his sword, and stabs at the figure behind the curtain. Hamlet says, "How now? a rat? Dead for a ducat, dead!" Polonius says, "O, I am slain!" Polonius dies. Polonius is sent home. Anyway. It's a little thing, but I do miss it. If it's not something that'd be difficult to program in, it might be a cool feature in some future version of Savitar. Thanks, Jay! |
