Hello,
I'm working on an OS type project and I would like to know how to
make text editing software. (You can type things and change color and size)
Thank you if you can help

How can I make a text editor

This code could be altered for ease of use, but the idea is simple; you have a lot of costumes that represent certain characters (remember to name them the same character they represent), then make a list with every useable character, then use this code:
forever
if <key [any v] pressed?> then
set [counter v] to [0]
repeat until <key (item (counter) of [list v] :: list) pressed?>
change [counter v] by (1)
if <key (item (counter) of [list v] :: list) pressed?> then
switch costume to (item (counter) of [list v] :: list)
stamp
move to next spot
end
end
end
end
I can't ensure this code is reliable, but it's all I can think of. Hope this helps!

How can I make a text editor

You could take a look at a tutorial. I reccomend using a pen text engine to display the text.
