| If you want cross platform then curses is the only option I think for a real console window. I created a roguelike in Bmax and ended up writing my own console lib to use the Bmax window with terminal image font. |
| ||
| I have a 50% developed cross-platform curses module. Runs in a console and works on Mac, Win32 and Linux. Still needs quite a bit of the API implemented tho, but works quite well. No public release available yet. Been having a look at libtcod over the last day or so. Looks doable although the SDL backend needs re-implemented in BlitzMax. I have the code currently compiling on Win32 and Mac. Done properly (haw), this could work under GL and DX. |
| ||
| That's great that your converting Libtcod Brucey, put me on the beta testers list. |

...not the most exciting screenshot in the world... getting a BlitzMax backend working instead of the SDL one is a bit more work than I thought... but not impossible, it seems :-p Currently trying to figure out the best way to build the non-root consoles. perhaps render-to-texture... or straight into a pixmap... ack! |
| ||
| The first method I started with was to create an Type called 'tScreen' that contains an [8*8 pix] array the size of the window: [psuedo example]
Type tCell
Field Char$ = chr(0)
Field fColor%[3]
Field bColor%[3]
EndType
Type tScreen
Field Cells[ScreenW,ScreenH]:tCell '// ScreenW is GraphicsWidth/8 for 8x8 image
Method Print(String$, X,Y,fCol%[],bCol%[])
'// loop through the string, set each cell to its char/color
EndMethod
End Type
Then have one global variable that contains the current screen being shown so the user can create custom screens and show/hide them as needed. Also here are some good terminal fonts. http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/List_of_user_character_sets |
