Have you ever wanted to print text in the whole range of RGB colors? Or are you sick and tired of having text being conformed to set text spaces onscreen rather than X-Y coordinates? Have you ever wanted to print twice as much text on the screen than what you could with regular text? Well, i've a solution.
My program/plugin can draw text characters on the screen using graphic commands such as GPSET.
You feed my program information such as the start position coordinates of the screen as to where to draw the text, the x-coordinate limit as to how far across the screen it can draw text, the color of the text it will draw, and the string of text itself, and it will draw the text.
The text is twice as small as the text SB uses, fitting much more information into a smaller area. The text is not aligned to text boxes like regular text, but instead is limited by the coordinates of the screen itself.
The amount of text it can draw, though, is limited. It accepts..
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 1234567890 ()-_.,?/":[ ] !<>+*
I plan to introduce many more of SB's characters in the future.
Could you load a font and have it not conform to the 40-50x30 text spaces? Can you create text in all of the RGB colors? Can you fit twice as many characters into the same space as a single text charatcer by loading a font?
"Could you load a font and have it not conform to the 40-50x30 text spaces? Can you create text in all of the RGB colors?"
-yes
can you make different sized characters?
-no
Could you use an actual screenshot from the program?
also, I would reccomment using GCOPY instead of GPSET.

I tried to take a picture of some examples, but the text is so small and my phone camera isnt very great. Just try it out for yourself, it has its own demonstration program when you run it.
You can use Miiverse to take (jpeg) screenshots.
EDIT: I think the download key is wrong

Whoa, the key was wrong. I'm an idiot haha. I put the key for my Pong program somehow. I think this program would have been a little more useful in Petit Computer, which is where I originally thought the idea.
