Header Files

• ASCII_Fonts.h : API for rendering text using FIGlet fonts and allows you to style your text with different colors. Supported FIGlet fonts are:
  • Larry3D.
  • SMSlant.
  • Avatar.
• Color.h : Contains colour definitions for the 16 colors that Termin8or (and the terminal) supports. There are also two transparency colours / modes which allows you to overlay text using the same colours that are already present in a given location in the screen buffer (see ScreenHandler.h).
• Gradient.h : Allows you to access a vector of given objects using a normalized (0 to 1) t parameter. Useful for particle systems and things like that where it is used for color gradients.
• Drawing.h : Features some drawing functions such as bresenham::plot_line(), drawing::draw_box(), drawing::draw_box_textured(), drawing::draw_box_outline() and drawing::filled_circle_positions().
• GameEngine.h : A highly customizable buy easy to use game engine (or engine for any real-time terminal-based program).
• Keyboard.h : A keyboard handling API that is easy to use. Use class StreamKeyboard to poll key presses.
• MessageHandler.h : The MessageHandler class allows you to queue up messages of different severity levels and durations. Messages are displayed in a ui::TextBox in the middle of the screen.
• ParticleSystem.h : This ASCII-style particle system allows you to make cool real-time VFX such as liquids and fire-smoke. See (SurgSim_Lite and Pilot_Episode for examples).
• RC.h : A struct representing the row and column position on the screen or in a texture or bounding box to mention a few.
• Rectangle.h : A rectangle struct that can be used for bounding boxes etc.
• ScreenUtils.h : A collection of functions for rendering dialogs and such:
  • Low-level functions: clear_screen(), return_cursor(), restore_cursor(), gotorc().
  • draw_frame() : Draws a simple frame around your frame buffer.
  • draw_game_over(), draw_you_won() : Draws wavy banners in the FIGlet font Grafitti. Used by GameEngine if those features are enabled.
