BTGP v2 is out now!
This post is a simple overview of everything changed:
·First, this version will only be released in Lua because it's easier to maintain and because I don't have the time I used to have when I made the other versions. I might make a C version sometime, because I recently learned C and I want to test my knowledge, but not now...
·Second, we have a new "drawing mode" called "color".
Basically, in this new mode instead of displaying characters, we display colors that depend on ANSI color codes. This however means that the console that we run the program has to support ANSI color codes.
You can still display characters when using the "color" mode by using the new Fdraw() function and the color will stay as a background color.
You can still use the normal mode without the colors by not specifying any "drawing mode" when declaring the screen.
·Third, there were some functions removed but most importantly the drawChar() and createJoinedStr() functions were removed and replaced with the draw() function.
There were also some functions added, but they aren't really important and besides you can check them out in the user manual (the .html file).
Also, some bugs were fixed.
That's it! Thanks for reading!
I now think that BTGP has some potential and I might use it to make something in the future, but not now as I am working on some other projects.
