Making major changes to display features, such as the construction of the status line, sometimes requires that we rely on Inform 6 in bulk; here is how we might produce the Trinity-style status line, with the location centered at the top center of the screen.
|
|
|
|
{*}"Corner of No and Where"
|
|
|
|
No is a room. Where is west of No.
|
|
|
|
Rule for constructing the status line:
|
|
print the location in the center of the status line;
|
|
rule succeeds.
|
|
|
|
To print the location in the center of the status line:
|
|
(- PrintCenteredStatus(); -).
|
|
|
|
Include (-
|
|
|
|
Array printed_text --> 64;
|
|
|
|
[ PrintCenteredStatus i j;
|
|
@set_cursor 1 0;
|
|
i = 0->33;
|
|
spaces(i);
|
|
@output_stream 3 printed_text;
|
|
print (name) location;
|
|
@output_stream -3;
|
|
j = (i - (printed_text-->0))/2;
|
|
@set_cursor 1 j;
|
|
print (name) location;
|
|
spaces j-1;
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
-)
|
|
|
|
Test me with "w / e".

In fact, as we've already seen, many extra modifications to the display behavior are possible using Basic Screen Effects.
