Example Code

Using this package is simple! Just add the jar to your java project build path and then have at it!

The Screen class extends JPanel, so you can just add it to another swing component. Here's a little example file as well as the result it gives:

import javax.swing.JFrame;

import textScreenEmu.PaletteFactory;
import textScreenEmu.PalettePredef;
import textScreenEmu.Screen;
import textScreenEmu.TilesetFactory;
import textScreenEmu.TilesetPredef;

public class TSEMUTest {
	
	public static void main(String[] args){
		
		//Create a new screen
		Screen s = new Screen(32, 16, 2, 
				TilesetFactory.createTileset(TilesetPredef.CODEPAGE473_12x12), 
				PaletteFactory.createPalette(PalettePredef.C64_16));
		
		//Set up the frame
		JFrame mainFrame = new JFrame("TextScreenEmu Test!!");
		
		mainFrame.add(s);
		mainFrame.setResizable(false);
		mainFrame.pack();
		
		mainFrame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
		mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		mainFrame.setVisible(true);
		
		
		//Colour the entire screen one colour
		s.setBackgroundColour(14);
		s.clearScreen();
		
		//Draw the colour palette
		s.drawPalette(false);
		
		//Draw a bunch of stuff!
		s.setForegroundColour(15);
