Shatter

Shatter your dull Overlay Glasses experience by turning it into a redirectable terminal target!

Shatter adds several features to the overlay glasses experience beyond a terminal. It is meant to be used in a neural interface (obviously) with an unbound wireless keyboard.

Brief Rundown

API

handler: handler for cursor blink, and glasses to mouse event conversion. Meant to be put in parallel, or any other multithreading option.

• Parameters
  • none
• Returns
  • none

getTerm: gives the terminal object once the handler has been activated.

• Parameters
  • none
• Returns
  • table: terminal object

Terminal Object

getAlpha: get the alpha value for a specific color

• Parameters
  • number: valid terminal color
• Returns
  • number: alpha value, in range 0-1

setAlpha: set the alpha value for a specific color

• Parameters
  • number: valid terminal color
  • number: alpha value within range 0-1
• Returns
  • none

setTextScale: set the text and background pixel scale

• Parameters
  • number: scale value within range 0.5-10
• Returns
  • none

Events

shatter_handler: fired when the shatter handler is loaded

shatter_redirect: fired when the shatter terminal object is requested in getTerm

shatter_resize: fired when the shatter terminal object is resized

Getting Started

Let's set up all elements of shatter! Obviously you're here for this part so I'll make it as brief as possible.

1. run wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hugeblank/Shatter/master/shatter.lua on your neural interface that has overlay glasses.
2. Find an unbound wireless keyboard, this functions as both a keyboard & mouse, keep that in mind.

Putting it all Together

Here's an example of how you could put a startup file together, runs shell on the redirected overlay glasses:

os.loadAPI("shatter.lua") -- Load the shatter API
parallel.waitForAll(shatter.handler,
function()
  os.pullEvent("shatter_handler") -- wait for the handler to load
  _G.glasses = shatter.getTerm() -- get the terminal object, and put it in the global scope (for alpha setting in the shell)
  term.redirect(glasses) -- redirect to overlay
  glass.setAlpha(colors.black, .4) -- set the alpha value of the black color to .4, for visibility.
  term.clear() -- apply the alpha value change
  shell.run("shell") -- run the shell
end,
function()
  os.pullEvent("shatter_resize") -- check for when the glasses get resized
  os.queueEvent("term_resize") -- apply it to the shell terminal
end)
