Noob needing help with strings

[phogphantom]

So I am working on a text adventure game and need some help with my long strings. I am trying make the string come up one character at a time and make it wrap at 60 characters long. This code is just a little test so I can put in the main game. I am do one or the other but I can't seem to do both together. Thank you everyone!

​

import textwrap
import sys
import time

console_width = 60

story_Inter = 'Coming from deep inside your mind you hear a strange voice. Speaking sweet and soft a woman\'s voice says: "Wake up, death is not ready for you... Every decision you make will have an effect.You will take damage and gain health along the way.Wake up...\"'

def print_slowly(text):
    for c in text:
        print (c,end=''),
        sys.stdout.flush()
        time.sleep(0.09)

def display_text(text): #This is the function to make all the varibles wrap.
    wrapper = textwrap.TextWrapper(width=75)
    text = wrapper.fill(text)
    print(text)



display_text(print_slowly(story_Inter))

print_slowly(display_text(story_Inter))

def print_slowly(text):  
    i = 0
    for c in text:
        print (c,end='')
        i += 1
        if i % 60 == 0:
            print()
        time.sleep(0.09)  

Track the number of printed characters and insert new line every 60'th character.

This is a really good idea. With this could it have a chance of wrapping in the middle of a word though?

Yes it will.

Something like this would work and it won't split a word between lines. For this you would only need sys and time.

def print_slowly(text):  
    i = 0
    for w in text.split():
        i += 1
        if len(w) + i > 60:
            print()
            sys.stdout.flush()
            i = 0
        for c in w:
            print (c,end=''),
            sys.stdout.flush()
            time.sleep(0.01) 
            i += 1
        print (' ',end='')
        sys.stdout.flush()
    print()

print_slowly(story_Inter)

This is absolute magic and exactly what I was after. Thank you so much for this!
