Have you guys wondering how to create a new line after using these code like term.write to tell something to user??


These are the basic function for program/api to make a new line

function newLine()
  xPos, yPos = term.getCursorPos()
  term.setCursorPos(1,(yPos + 1))
end

Easy huh?

you can always use print(). It has text wrapping and makes a new line after calling.

Or just use print instead of term.write?

Or just use \n in the string at the end?

term.write doesn't handle newlines. It's only print/write that do because they word wrap.

Anyway, yeah, print"", and write"\n" both do the exact same thing as the whole 4 line function.

It's not just that you can use write or print to more easily move to a new line, this also doesn't scroll the screen if you're already on the bottom row.

Sort of worth noting that term.redirect() can be used to get access print/write through displays other than the default. External monitors, for eg.
