A library for writing in pixels :)

Usage

Why?

This project is just a fun little project for me to learn Rust. I am planning to develop more features and include more free fonts in its library (see Plan section below).

However, I am not completely sure what is the end goal. In my mind, there are 2 possibilities:

  • A stand-alone tool (possibly for mock ups)
  • A component of a larger project (possibly a 2D game engine)

Plan

A roadmap of some sort

Features

High Priority

  • A more efficient way to read in pixel fonts
    • An idea could be to make the glyphs using Aseprite and read .bmp files using the bmp crate
    • Another is to use a crate (check out CRATES.md)
  • Multiple line writing
  • Templated layouts
  • Borders for the text

Lower Priority

  • Layering the texts
  • Animating (?)
