I'm close to releasing the latest (and probably last; this really has gone on long enough) version of Tonc. As a preview, I'm releasing the PDF a little early in the hope that someone may take a look and offer some feedback before the official release (aw, c'mon, it's only 400 pages).
The changes mostly relate to the new Tonc Text Engine, a text system for all occasions. There's a new chapter describing how TTE works, how to write general character printers for (almost) for arbitrary sized fonts and every type of graphics, and a few other things. It's fairly long and could use sanity checking from someone else.
Also, many of the older demos now use TTE for their text as well. As a result they look cleaner and prettier, but it's possible there are some left-overs from older versions. So have at it.
- Tonc 1.4 preview (PDF, 4.3 MB).
- TTE chapter only (PDF, 584 kB).
- All relevant 1.4 files: here.
the full document is tonc-1.4.pdf rather than tonc-v1.4.pdf ;)
Like I said: sanity checking :P. Fixed now, thank you.
Thanks Cearn, Tonc is fantastic. I'm doing a full translation into spanish, it will take some time. As soon as i finish i will show to you.
Ealdor.
