Customize Output:Introcards

You may wish to begin your game with a introcard – meaning, some kind of introductory block of text, perhaps showing your game's title, version, and author name, or some backstory setting up the game's premise. The introcard manager offers options for clearing the screen, showing information outside the main flow of text, toggling the visibility of UI elements, and prompting the user to press a key to continue.

DesertDrifter.introcard.set({
  hide_statusbar: true,
  prompt_to_continue: true,
  prompt_text: `[Press any key to continue...]`,
  clear_on_continue: true,
  text: `
    {title}
    Version {version}
    By {author}
   
    It was foolish to step away from the camel string. {We} {were} quickly separated by the raging sandstorm. All it took was one, two, three steps, before the buffeting wind had {us} completely disoriented. Now {we} {are} lost with nothing but an empty water skin.

});
