Snack Break Problem #14

Hello, scripting enthusiasts! This week's challenge is to create a working printer, using blocks for letters! Prepare your minds to be stimulated.


Break Down

The printer can be just a brick since not all of us are builders. When a person clicks the printer, a GUI pops up, asking the letters/words you'd like to print. You can set a maximum, but let it be no less than 20. After a person enters their word, the 'printer' will 'print' a sheet of paper (possibly a large block), that'll contain all the letters you've typed. Here is the catch: instead of using a SurfaceGui to represent the letters, you'll be using letters composed of bricks!

Elite Challenge

For the daredevils in the community, the elite challenge is as follows:

  • You must fill all requirements of the normal challenge.
  • You may not have PHYSICAL pre-set blocks that represent letters. This means you can have all positions stored in a table in your script, or however you wish to approach it.

Those who email me with their PLACE FILE AND PLACE LINK will receive a shoutout on the next Snack Break related post I make! The first person to complete the Elite Challenge, or if none the regular challenge, will receive the Snack Break badge!

Last Week's Snack Break

4 people completed the challenge! ZarsBranchkin, Vitou, Goulstem, and Sporkyz are the geniuses who completed the challenge. Shawnyg is a really bad blog author. Great job!

Hey, just a thing... I never attempted last week's challenge, let alone complete it. I'm not sure how you guys thought this, but I'm flattered you thing I'm that intelligent. But my name shouldn't be up there. Not sure why it is, but it shouldn't be. Congrats on the other though xD

um, is it just my computer, or is the email link broken?

I did it but my printer is quite slow. And it only uses the main alphabet.

Here, I uncopylocked my SB13 place, as I promised. Compare with your solution or learn how it works, whatever: https://www.roblox.com/games/44035718/Analog-clock-Snack-break-13

Nvm, my printer isn't even a printer. I'm going to resubmit in 1-2 more days with something I can be proud of.

Printer is printing things, but now I'm too lazy to make paths for all letters.. http://puu.sh/oAguw.png and http://puu.sh/oAfJZ.png

Just in case I wasn't clear enough,, I bolded 'place file and place link'. Be sure to send both, so I can check if you are qualified for the Elite Challenge!
