It doesn't print it in the middle, it prints to the side. What am I doing wrong?


function cPrint(message)
  local blarghx, blarghy = term.getCursorPos()
  local termX, termY = term.getSize()
  term.setCursorPos(termX/2 - #message, blarghy)
  print(message)
end

Lemme give you a nice little function:


local x, y = term.getSize()
function cPrint(str, ypos)
  term.setCursorPos(x/2-#str/2, ypos)
  term.write(str)
end

I use that function all the time.
