Progress Update! Text has been added to this API!

function setup()
	t = Text.new(50, 30)
end

function update()
	t:locate(math.floor(math.random() * t.width), math.floor(math.random() * t.height))
	t:color(math.floor(math.random() * 16), math.floor(math.random() * 16))
	t:print("Heck!", false)
end

function draw()
	love.graphics.clear(0, 0, 0)
	
	t:draw()
end

The text cursor exists too, so this works!

t:print("I am on the first line!")
t:print("I am on the second line!")

Text coloring is also hardware-accurate, and if you clear the screen it fills the screen with background color. Then if you scroll the screen, you also see that it doesn't fill the screen with the background color! I also stole data from otyaSmileBASIC to make the text characters accurate to the SmileBASIC font GRP! Instead of using lazy "just calculate it on the fly" technology, I have decided to use the "GENERATE 4,000 QUADS AT STARTUP" technique! wait Never mind i found an edge case and I can safely say I hate COLOR 0, [any non-zero color here].

math.random(0,15)

• Oracle vs. Google. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_America,_Inc._v._Google,_Inc. Oracle sued Google over their use of the Java API in Android. It went back and forth for a while, but it looks like Google lost (personally I don't think APIs should be copyrightable). Re implementing SmileBasic's graphics API in Lua could be troublesome. Truthfully it probably would never go past a Cease and Desist, but still it is something to consider.
• Use of the SmileBasic fonts, graphics, and presumably down the line music and sound effects. These are owned by SmileBasic under copyright, and they could easily get you in legal trouble too.

Good luck, it looks like a cool project.
