Hi guys,

My game has a white font against a black background. After a couple turns of play, a whole wall of white text can be hard to read, so I thought that it would be easier on the eyes if that old text is darker, while the text from the last command is white.

So instead of this:


It looks like this:


I don't really have any idea how to achieve this, and I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue.

Here's one way to do it. Add the following turnscript to your game:

  <turnscript name="dimmer">
    <enabled />
    <script><![CDATA[
      if (game.lastoutputsection > 1) {
        JS.eval ("$('.section"+(game.lastoutputsection-1)+"').css('opacity', '0.5');")
      }
    ]]></script>
  </turnscript>

It sets the opacity of the preceding output section to 50%, which dims the text (shows black through). You can adjust the opacity percent by changing the 0.5. A value of 1.0 would be 100%, 0.0 would be entirely transparent, etc.

A full sample game is attached.

Thank you very much for the quick reply and solution, it's working perfectly!
