Text Templates

Text templates can contain python format strings to show text placeholder.

This is an example which will show the player 1 score of the previous game as number:

Player 1 score: {machine.player1_score:d}

Current score (during a game only):

Score {current_player.score:d}

Any variable needs to be enclosed in {}. Either you can use {variable} or {variable:format_string}. Any python format string will work here.

Common format strings

Assuming variable has a value of 1337.

Left aligned and padded to 10 characters:

{variable:10}

Output:

"1337      "

Right aligned and padded to 10 characters with zeros:

{variable:0>10}

Output:

"0000001337"

Centered and padded to 10 characters with spaces:

{variable:^10}

Output:

"   1337   "

Number as float (2 decimals):

{variable:5.2f}

Output:

" 1337.00"

Number as integer:

{variable:5d}

Output:

" 1337"

Centered and padded to 10 characters with spaces:

{variable:.3}

Output:
