It would be nice to be able to keep printed records of the bridges designed on Pontifex.... especially as I wish to use with a class of school children... print-outs of their creations would provide proof of work done, indications of their level of understanding etc..... and would be just plain nice to have.

The edit screen screenshots print quite well in black & white if you invert them first. The same should work with the test view if you set the sun low (this makes the background dark, which comes out very light when inverted).

I recommend the shareware program "Graphics Workshop". It lets you make preview "thumbnails" for all the screenshots, select the ones you wish to print and batch "Reverse" = invert them, batch grayscale (in "Effects" ) and batch print them, so it's no problem to do this with 20 screenshots at once http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> You can get it http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/alchemy.html" target="_blank">here.


Do you mean an in-game print button? You can already take screenshots with the F8 key and print those from, well, any graphics program, MS Word etc. although I can see how this would get a bit tedious if you're printing lots of them.
