http://pastebin.com/RbK5sSE4That is my program(credit to
rondouglas) and I was wondering how to add a title above the menu.
In the picture below, above Open Stairs I wish to have a title but I can't figure out how to do it.
Thank you to whoever can help! :D/>/>

function main()
while running do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1) -- added
print(title) --added
term.setCursorPos(1,2)
printMenu(mainMenu)
event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
onKeyPressed(key, mainMenu)
end
end
Marked the added lines. then at the top you can assign a variable to the string you want and voila!

function main()
while running do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1) -- << These two lines
print("Your Title Here") -- <<
term.setCursorPos(1,2)
printMenu(mainMenu)
event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
onKeyPressed(key, mainMenu)
end
end

Just one more thing, how would I center the menu and add another line of text on the other side of the screen from the title?
I found out how to center just text but I can't seem to get it working with the menu.

You probably will have to use setCursorPos(x,y)

I don't think I followed the turns there, what exactly are you trying to do? Make another text on the other side but at the same line as the title?

Help with?
Btw, did you center with term.setCursorPos() or another way, if another way, how do you do it? :D/>/>

Where it says "TEXT HERE!@" in the picture I wish to do it in computercraft.
and I found this function on google lol and I just added it to where the script prints the menu.
local cPrint = function(text)
local x2,y2 = term.getCursorPos()
local x,y = term.getSize()
term.setCursorPos(math.ceil((x / 2) - (text:len() / 2)), y2)
print(text)
end
function printMenu(menu)
for i = 1, #menu do
if i == selectedItem then
cPrint("[ "..menu[i].text.." ]")
else
cPrint(""..menu[i].text)
end
end
end

I got it now, think I know how to do it:
function printEnd(text, y)
x = 49-#text
term.setCursorPos(x,y)
write(text)
end
Is my basic idea. going to go test some stuff with it now.
EDIT: It works! :D/>/>

instead of a constant 49, use x = term.getSize() - #text
Note that getSize() returns x and y, but the y is ignored since it has nowhere to put it.

no because this is for a computer and a computer can have 51 characters on 1 line. this is the eaisets and msot simple way to do it. gives 3 blanksteps free space too.

just add this function at the top or something, and then call the function after the 2 lines we added before, with the y as 1 and text as whatever you want to print there
