This uses utfcpp combined with a custom font, in the form of a PNG and text file. By default, the game acts exactly as it did before; custom fonts can be provided by third parties.
This commit makes `help`, `graphics`, `music`, `game`, `key`, `map`, and
`obj` essentially static global objects that can be used everywhere.
This is useful in case we ever need to add a new function in the future,
so we don't have to bother with passing a new argument in which means we
have to pass a new argument in to the function that calls that function
which means having to pass a new argument into the function that calls
THAT function, etc. which is a real headache when working on fan mods of
the source code.
Note that this changes NONE of the existing function signatures, it
merely just makes those variables accessible everywhere in the same way
`script` and `ed` are.
Also note that some classes had to be initialized after the filesystem
was initialized, but C++ would keep initializing them before the
filesystem got initialized, because I *had* to put them at the top of
`main.cpp`, or else they wouldn't be global variables.
The only way to work around this was to use entityclass's initialization
style (which I'm pretty sure entityclass of all things doesn't need to
be initialized this way), where you actually initialize the class in an
`init()` function, and so then you do `graphics.init()` after the
filesystem initialization, AFTER doing `Graphics graphics` up at the
top.
I've had to do this for `graphics` (but only because its child
GraphicsResources `grphx` needs to be initialized this way), `music`,
and `game`. I don't think this will affect anything. Other than that,
`help`, `key`, and `map` are still using the C++-intended method of
having ClassName::ClassName() functions.
This is the variable dwgfx.translucentroomname and <translucentroomname>
in unlock.vvv.
This lets you see through the black background of the roomname at the
bottom of the screen, i.e. it makes the roomname background translucent.
So you can see if someone decides to hide pesky spikes there.
For a long time, VVVVVV has had an issue where if you used custom
graphics with translucent pixels (i.e. pixels whose opacity was neither
0% nor 100%, but somewhere between 0% and 100%), those pixels would end
up looking very ugly. They seemed to be overlaid on top of some weird
blue color, instead of actually being translucent.
This bug only occurred when in-game and not in towermode. So, most of
the time, basically. The translucent pixels only displayed properly
inside the Tower, both minitowers, and the editor (when not
playtesting).
I traced this down to the use of the magic number 0xDEADBEEF in
Graphics::drawmap() and Graphics::drawfinalmap(). Looks like someone had
fun finding a color. Was it you, simoroth? Anyway, I've changed it so it
simply uses 0 instead. Note that this magic number needs to be changed
for BOTH FillRect() and OverlaySurfaceKeyed(), or else the game's
background will be some random solid color instead of actually being
drawn properly.
This uncomments the code for the font outline. Now, you will see the
font outline on text that had it in the Flash version, most notably "-
Press ENTER to Teleport -" and the time trial overlay text.
This also fixes a problem with the commented code, where un-centered
text didn't outline properly.
This is similar to what was reverted in 3011911 but this time should use
syntax available even before C++11, tested on Clang with
`-std=c++98 -Wall -pedantic`.
