I know it's probably too late for this, but may I propose a kind of lispy syntax? It would be rather easy to parse and also to write:Robin wrote:Code: Select all
rt = rich.new{"{black}Hello {green}world{red}, {smile} how are {{}you} doing? {big}I'm doing fine.", 200, black = {0, 0, 0}, green = {0, 255, 0}, big = love.graphics.newFont(20), red = {255, 0, 0}, smile = love.graphics.newImage('face-laugh.png')}
Code: Select all
rt = rich.new{"{black Hello} {green world}{red,} {smile} how are {{} you} doing? {big I'm doing fine}.", 200, black = {0, 0, 0}, green = {0, 255, 0}, big = love.graphics.newFont(20), red = {255, 0, 0}, smile = love.graphics.newImage('face-laugh.png')}Code: Select all
{big {blue Hello {red cruel} World}} -- instead of {big}{blue}Hello {red}cruel {blue}WorldCode: Select all
modifiers = {}
modifiers["{}"] = function(text) return "{"..text.."}" end
modifiers["big"] = function(text) ... end
modifiers["blue"] = function(text) ... end

Oh, good. I think I forgot to implement that.luminosity wrote:One thing I needed to hack into my copy of it was storing the total height of the rendered text on the rich text object so I could access it later -- unless I'm overlooking something I don't see anywhere that's currently stored.
Odd, I have never seen that effect. Screenshots would be useful, yes.luminosity wrote:I've noticed rendering text to a buffer seems to make it extremely ugly and hard to read. That seems to be love wide rather than specific to this library though. I don't suppose anyone knows what's going on there? I can attach screenshots if someone wants.
I'm not sure, what this is, but the LÖVE 0.7.0 used to contain a bug regarding text placement. I think it'll work better if you upgrade LÖVE to the latest build.Mud wrote:Just FYI, this is what I get when I run your example code (supplying my own smiley):
I was more concerned with those funky rectangles (which I know is not your library's fault).Robin wrote:I'm not sure, what this is, but the LÖVE 0.7.0 used to contain a bug regarding text placement.
I got the latest from here (7 weeks old). Is there a more recent binary somewhere? I pulled down the source last night, but it doesn't include the libraries it depends on (that I could see) and I was too lazy to dig them up.I think it'll work better if you upgrade LÖVE to the latest build.
Oh, I thought you enabled debug mode, which draws those rectangles so you can check whether everything's aligned OK.Mud wrote:I was more concerned with those funky rectangles (which I know is not your library's fault).
Oh, that's old. Are you on windows? I think for that you need to wait until rude makes another build, or ask a friendly lover on windows who just happened to have compiled it themselves recently. If you're on Linux, you can probably work with the PPA bartbes has set up.Mud wrote:I got the latest from here (7 weeks old). Is there a more recent binary somewhere?
