API

Check the Example.cs script for examples of basic functionality. Things to note :-

• Make sure you wait until Display.IsInitialized() returns true before updating any cells.
• Grab the cell you want to update by calling Display.CellAt(layer, x, y)
• Update the cell content using Cell.SetContent()
• Clear the cell using Cell.Clear()
• Check out the SetContent() and Clear() function overloads. You can have separate foreground and background colors, as well as gradual fade transitions between cell updates.
• Only cells on the highest layers are drawn, everything below that cell on lower layers is ignored.
• x,y coordinates start at top left of the screen (0,0)
• Negative layers are reserved layers, and are actually drawn on top of everything else. An example of this is the mouse cursor, which draws at layer -1. Lower negative layers (such as -2) are prioritized over higher negative ones.
• You can set a cell to cycle through characters of a string as part of its update transition. Handy for creating cyberpunky/hacking/glitching effects.
• You can implement one of the action interfaces (IClickAction, IDragAction, IHoverAction, IScrollAction) and set them to a specific cell in order to capture mouse input for that cell. Or just disable the Mouse object entirely if you do not require mouse input.
