Handling very long Item Names
#2
You would need to either count how many spaces fit the window or look for the last empty space and split the name right before that space. Or mix both ways...
  • This option would split words as well:
    This is a long na
    me for a sword
  • This one would attempt to keep it readable:
    This is a long
    name for a
    sword

In the former you would count how large is the string with string.size (and add a condition), while in the latter you would use self.contents.text_size(string) and a if statement or condition to determine when it should be split into two chunks. Here it would be measured in pixels not spaces.
"For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ," 1 Thessalonians 5:9

Maranatha!

The Internet might be either your friend or enemy. It just depends on whether or not she has a bad hair day.
