KanaFont: A japanese font for the game of Gamebuino

KanaFont is a C/C++ based japanese font generation system for the game of Gamebuino.
It provides an easy convert a japanese text array into a bitmap index array for the created japanese bitmap list, “Bitmap.h”.

Installation

To install KanaFont, use git

$ git clone https://github.com/maturu/kanafont-gamebuino.git

Usage

First, generate a bitmap index array

$ gcc hashConverter.c
$ ./a.out
Enter text in Japanese to convert to a bitmap. >> ほげふが
const int words[4] = {30, 52, 28, 49};

Second, use it in Arduino IDE

#include "Bitmaps.h"

For example

void write(const int*, int, int, int);
...
void write(const int *text, int text_len, int w = 0, int h = 0){
  int value;
  for(value=0; value < text_len; value++){
    // chars is variable in "Bitmap.h"
    gb.display.drawBitmap(w, h, chars[text[value]-1]);
    w += 7;
    if(w >= 84){
      w = 0;
      h += 7;
    }
  }
}
const int words[4] = {30, 52, 28, 49};
void loop(){
  while(1){
    if(gb.update()){
      int w_len = sizeof(word)/sizeof(int);
      // w is your any width
      // h is your any height
      write(word, w_len, w, h);
    }
  }
}
