pixelperfect Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I couldn't seem to find any info on the forums for this. It looks like tgi_settextdir is not implemented for Lynx? Toying around with a vertical game, and my text is staying horizontal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 True. The sprite engine in the Lynx is not coping well with rotations. The goal was to keep the basic TGI very small as most people care only about sprites. For my own text I use mainly C-code for drawing text. I start by drawing the font as a bitmap and then I create a font out of it. Have look at http://atariage.com/forums/topic/228139-theoretical-lynx-font/ If you want a font in a fixed rotation you could create the font like this.

pixelperfect Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Cool, thanks a bunch for the info! I guess I will get my prototype a little farther and see if I want to finish before committing the time to making the vertical font. The drawing portion looks straight forward at least.
