 print() is a very versatile tool; there are so many things to play around with and so many different arguments to take advantage of. For example, these are the arguments for print(): text [x=0 y=0] [color=12] [fixed=false] [scale=1] [smallfont=false]. The first three are pretty self-explanatory, but the latter are where things get interesting. The 'fixed' argument is referring to whether or not you desire a fixed letter width within your printed text. As the TIC80 Wiki puts it, "When set to true, the fixed width option ensures that each character will be printed in a 'box' of the same size, so the character 'i' will occupy the same width as the character 'w' for example." Continuing, the 'scale' argument determines what scale you want your text on. As a esult, a scale bigger than 1 will produce similarly bigger text. But, you may ask, what happens if I want *smaller* text? Well that is where the 'smallfont' argument comes in. If set to true, the text font will be set to a smaller, fixed one. This is useful for displaying a large list of sorted and/or unsorted values in one row of text, rather than resorting to wrapping. print() is a very versatile tool; there are so many things to play around with and so many different arguments to take advantage of.

 +Alternatively, the rect() function serves as a nice geometrical alternative to print() for viewing of your lists as an assortment of rectangles. This is used in the format of rect( x, y, w, h, color), so if you were to loop through a list while shifting these rectangles' locations, it could serve to make a nice graphic to display the lists as they are being sorted.
