Windows luaplayer /n newline issue?

[SeparateEntity]

When I use this code:

Code: Select all

green = Color.new(0, 255, 0)
screen:print(0,0, "Hello World\nby Entity", green)
screen.flip()
while true do
	screen.waitVblankStart()
end

I end up with Hello World[weirdcharacter]by Entity. Is this an issue in Winluaplayer, or does it affect the PSP version as well?

I have a 2.6 PSP, so I can't test it myself.

possibly cause \n is not implemented in the windows version?

I generally only test on windows luaplayer, so I'm not sure about on PSP.

I don't use any newlines, if I have multiple lines, I increment the y pos by 8 (the height of the bitmap font) and do multiple prints.

Code: Select all

screen:print(0,0, "Hello World", green)
screen:print(0,8, "by Entity", green)

I'm working on a simple brainf*** editor/interpreter. I'll need to split the BF code (the main string) to multiple lines. It would be much easier if it could support \n without having to code an inefficient and lengthy workaround.
