Outlines for text

Postby NickoftheSouth » Tue May 08, 2012 1:50 pm

Hello!
I'm a developer at a game company and we've just started using MOAI for a new project.
So far everything is going really well.
Part of the game involves picking words that are floating around in front of pictures (it's a language learning game).
I was wondering if there was any easy way to put a border around the text.
I'm guessing this isn't built in out of the box, but I'm very praticed in c and prepared to add functionality if nessicary.
So I guess my other question is, if I were to add this, where would I begin?
Thanks in advance!

Check out this old thread.

Looks like you could use a bitmapped font and adjust the shader on the textbox.
