text-length	Text.length	text	namespace-method	Text.length	Text.length(s) -> int	The number of bytes in a string.	0	Text	length

Returns how many bytes are in s, not counting the terminating zero. It is the same count as the bare len(s), exposed under the Text namespace for discoverability. Use it to size a HUD field, walk a string by index, or check for emptiness with Text.length(s) == 0.

Parameters:

• s — the string to measure

program NameWidth {
  let label: string = "player one"

  handler Draw phase Render {
    let width = Text.length(label) * 6   # 6 px per glyph
  }
}
