I know that strings in MPL are 255        BP>> characters, but is there a way to have a string that is longer?               gr> Your options for now are to use Mystic's Python integration or you can        gr> try using the MysticScript which does allow longer strings (available        gr> in the pre-alpha releases of A47 and A48). Otherwise I think you'd        gr> have to to use multiple strings or an array of chars in MPL.              That's kinda what I was thinking, but figured it didn't hurt to ask. ;)               gr> I haven't fully decided on which direction to go but you can find MS        gr> in the A48 pre-alphas. The latest version includes Blackjack, Tetris,        gr> and the Usage ported to MysticScript.              I might have to take a look at MS. Is the syntax similar to MPL? I guess if I       took a look, I would be able to find out for myself... |
