Socoder -> Blitz -> Centering text on the screen

LostUser	I've tried to center my text in the middle of the screen, but it never appears to be in the center. Game_Name$ = "Some Game" lenn = Len(Upper$(Game_Name$)) x = (GraphicsWidth()/2) - (lenn) Text x, 3, Upper$(Game_Name$) --v I've tried both Len() and StringWidth() but neither of them seem to display the text where I want it. Is there a better algorithm to position text?

Jayenkai	Text x, 3, Upper$(Game_Name$) ,1 Text has 2 additional parameters at the end. Text X,Y,Txt$, CenterX, CenterY Or if you're doing it by hand.. lenn=stringwidth(txt$)/2... you need to find the middle, not the full width. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
