Scrolling Text For PSP Lua

This document describes Lua code for scrolling text across the screen. It defines variables for text position, color, and scroll speed. The main loop clears the screen and reads controls. A for loop extracts each character from the text string and prints it to the screen at an offset position, incrementing by the scroll speed each iteration. If the text reaches the left side, the position resets to start scrolling from the right.
