2D: DrawSmoothScrollingText in DirectDraw

This command would be awesome:
DrawSmoothScrollingText that takes a typical font antialiases it and uses directdraw to draw and takes an argument for the actual textmessage and where it should be drawn on screen.
So we can get buttersmooth scrolling horizontal text scrolling just like in the c64/amiga days very easily.

@fusion_400
did you learn anything from the programming thread? *shakes head*
...I do not need to state whatever number here, since the request is as unrealistic as useless...

But in perfect programming language you could have function which would spawn exactly the program you want by just calling it...

A "perfect programming language" does not exist, nowhere. If you really need these kind of features you havn't quite understood programming in general and are probalby better of with somthing like
GamesFactory.

I wrote this before i got any response in the other thread i think.
I am very bad at programming by the way but i love cool textscrollers.

I think this is the Feature Requests and Wishlists forum, so every user (even new users who start coding) should be allowed to ASK for features if they think it is a nice idea.
So, no need to comment it by laughing about their requests.

Okay, my joke was perhaps a bit mean. Fusion_400, don't get me wrong. There have been too many requests over time for 'all in one' features, and there was a discussion some time ago about '+1' replies, so I just couldn't help myself.
Sorry.
But... feel free to learn to program and ask for features, this forum is great and the people are great, so there's always some help.

you did not get Raybarg's intention, I bet he was perfectly sarcastic.

Well, to bet is not to know ...
Nevertheless, this request is bollocks.
