FIGlet driver (IGUIFont)

Post by bitplane »

I made an IGUIFont which takes a fixed width font as a base and draws FIGlets.

Here's a screenshot, in case you don't know what FIGlets are-

Before anyone points this out, it is a completely pointless exercise. However. I haven't programmed anything in a while and felt like doing something fun.

You can grab the code here-
http://svn.bitplane.net/misc/trunk/irr/FIGdriver/

It should work with the console device in SVN, but I haven't tried it yet. Also FIGdrivers are pretty complicated beasts due to the overlapping and merging rules, so I've only implemented simple kerning for now.

I don't know if I'll ever completely finish this, but someone might find it useful. It would be a crime to add it to Irrlicht, so you'll be glad to hear that I won't do this ;)
