Bitmap fontsim back at socoder |
|
Coding while tired is never a good thing. Sure you will get something done but it is never your best work. There have been countless times I have struggled over some code for hours but due to fatigue I was unable to solve it. Last night was no exception, I was struggling to get the text to display and even get it to line up. After an hour or so it was working after I ironed out some school boy errors. My next problem was to get the new bitmap font to fade in and out nicely. I managed to get it to fade in but couldn't figure the maths out to make it fade in then out. I gave up and went to bed, that normally does the trick, but this time it just kept me awake and now I'm shattered. I will figure out the fading later, for now the text looks fabulous and may even venture out in to other fonts at a later date. |

No screenshot!?  It was far too hot to sleep last night, so I spent a few hours working on a new (again?!) iOS game. Kinda works, but.. .. I was tired.. It doesn't play half as well as it seemed to last night! A few tweaks here and there, and I should be able to make something half interesting out of it. *fingers crossed*

If you're doing this game in Blitz then you may want to look at an alpha routine that works in real time. The only caveat is that you'll need to re-do the bitmap of the font to mask everything except the font characters. https://socoder.net/index.php?snippet=12502 |

I'm doing it in Cobra. I think I have it all good now, the timing works and the effect is good. I think I will add some scaling to it for different font sizes. Thanks for your help guys
