Having text appear on a static image of a computer screen.

Hello!

I wanted to add a certain aesthetic and was wondering if it's possible to have your game appear on static image of a old computer screen. As in... I know that you can put images into your text adventure... but is it possible to put your text adventure ONTO an image, in a way that it would look like your playing on a old PC from the early 80's. Let me explain...

I'm more of a modeler than a programmer. And while idealy I'd love to put my text onto the screen of this 3d model in a 3d enviorment (please correct me if I'm wrong) but I don't think Quest allows that. BUT I can model a 3d computer and render the image from a appealing angle then impose the text onto said render where it gives the same impression, it's a much easier method to program... but how? Is it possible? Or should I be looking to make this text adventure on a different program?

I see you can input a "background image" while that does SOMEWHAT work, I was hoping to be able to arrange everything in a slightly different way..

Thanks in advanced Gents!

You can use JavaScript to change the interface however you want (though if you are using the web editor, you might struggle). Beyond that, it is hard to say without knowing more about what you want.

There are some guides here (look at the advanced ones) that indicate how to use JavaScript, though they do not do what you want.

A knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript will be useful here...


Or you can create a webpage that includes an iframe with the quest game. Something like this:
