BMGlyphLabel

This is a class to add the ability to easily add bmGlyph font files to SpriteKit.

Usage:

#import "BMGlyphLabel.h"

This will include both the label and the font classes.

You may create font objects like so:

BMGlyphFont* font = [BMGlyphFont fontWithName:@"bmGlyph"];

It's useful to cache these as the initial load can be slow.

Create labels like this:

BMGlyphLabel* label = [BMGlyphLabel labelWithText:@"This is a string. Look at it. It's cool. Oooooh pretty fonts." font:font];

Use "\n" in your string to signify a newline.

BMGlyphLabel inherits from SKNode, so you are able to apply any SKNode properties or methods to it (position). It also includes additional functionality, specific to the class:

horizontalAlignment property

Valid values:

BMGlyphHorizontalAlignmentCentered,
BMGlyphHorizontalAlignmentRight,
BMGlyphHorizontalAlignmentLeft

Usage:

[label setHorizontalAlignment:BMGlyphHorizontalAlignmentLeft];

If you've ever edited in a word processor before, the values will be fairly self explanatory and I won't waste time nor space to condescend to you. If you haven't, how are you even looking at this right now?! Seriously?!?!!

verticalAlignment property

Valid values:

BMGlyphVerticalAlignmentMiddle,
BMGlyphVerticalAlignmentTop,
BMGlyphVerticalAlignmentBottom

Usage:

[label setVerticalAlignment:BMGlyphVerticalAlignmentMiddle];

textJustify property

Valid values:

BMGlyphJustifyLeft,
BMGlyphJustifyRight,
BMGlyphJustifyCenter

Usage:

[label setTextJustify:BMGlyphJustifyCenter];

color property

This is the same usage as SKSpriteNode. SKColor value, etc etc.

Note: I like to make grayscale fonts that I then colorize. They can look very nice if done right.

colorBlendFactor property

This is the same usage as SKSpriteNode. CGFloat value ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, etc etc.

text property

NSString object. You can change this to change the text of the label. Radical.
