Hello again, This time, I'm having problems with texts on background, and wanted to know if it's possible to add new lines whenever needed? Something like this:

public void Title()
    {
        setImage("fltroad.png");  
        GreenfootImage title = getImage();
        title.drawString("First Line \n" + 
        "Second Line\n" + 
        "Third line\n" +
        "Fourth line", 5, getImage().getHeight()/2);
    }

Currently, all it does is write it like this:

First lineSecond lineThird lineFourth line

while I need it like this:

First line Second line Third line Fourth line

I was thinking to add a new text, and space it vertically between them, but surely there must be an easier option! Thanks in advance!!!

As an alternative to 'drawString' (since it does not appear to support formatting characters) is to use 'drawImage' and use the GreenfootImage constructor 'GreenfootImage(String, int, Color, Color)' which does support formatting characters:

String text = "First Line\nSecond Line\nThird line\nFourth line";
GreenfootImage textImg = new GreenfootImage(text, 16, java.awt.Color.black, null);
title.drawImage(textImg, 5, getImage().getHeight()/2-textImg.getHeight());
