4x4 fonts
« on: November 05, 2007, 04:39:00 pm »
I'm working on a project that demands a rather small font, so I went to work on a 4x4 character set. My question is -- could it actually be worked into a game?

I think for some letters 3x4 may be better, but it doesnt hurt to try. KermMartian made a 3x3 font routine once but it was in BASIC. I believe the ASM version is somewhere in one of his game

i just dont see how a 3x3 could be done, i know i made a 5x3 font before but i thinks its long gone, 4x4 though, ill make you something at school maybe (depends on if AP stats is easy or hard today), and idk, i think i agree with dj_ about 4x3 but ill see if i use the last row enough then get that to you. if i cant do it at school you'll have to wait till tomorrow cuz afterwards im swamped today.

Dinho: KErmMartian managed to do it. However it doesn't support commas, exlcamation marks, numbers and question marks


I think tr1p1ea routine might comes handy tho, i think he used this for his grayscale stuff
