Code Snippets

• Here's a simple Screen Font class for LibWiiSprite.

BibScreenFont.h

/*
	BibScreenFont.h

	This class was designed around two ideas.
	1.  It uses LibWiiSprite for screen drawing details and assumes the 
		correct header file <wiisprite.h> is in place as well as the library.
	2.  It was designed to work with output of F2IBuilder ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/f2ibuilder/ ).


	F2IBuilder can output two files, a PNG and a Metrics file.
	This class expects the two files to be run through raw2c.exe (from DevKitPro)
	and included(.h) and compiled(.c) into the project.
	The png data should be loaded into a wsp Image class via LoadImage.
	The metrics data should be passed directly as the nCharWidths parameter to Initialize.
	
	
	Initialize() should be called first and only once.
	DisplayText() should be called to display text for the current frame.

Printf With LibWiiSprite

I found a need to support printf in my apps, while using LibWiiSprite. The code below shows an example on how to do this. One reason to do this is that asserts from Box2d (and presumably others) will do a printf. This method should also work with other graphic libraries that use GX instead of framebuffers. The majority of this code was taken from the libogc source.

It's easy to use. Call InitConsole() once, and RenderConsole() each draw loop. Also you'll need to provide a function that replaces my text drawing function: CourierNew_ScreenFont.DisplayText (int x, int y, char * szText); Also, it's not optimized at all, but who wants an optimized printf function?
