Information

I have put together a set of routines that display wordwrapped variable width fonts using the DS framebuffer or extended rotation buffer mode. The same routines will also display sprites of any size up to 256x256 (or 256x192 if you are on framebuffer mode), and include automatic handling of double buffering by calling a single function, and handled backgrounds. Screenshots can be viewed below using a sample program to show off capabilities. This sample was designed for hardware. You can simply unzip the built libfb to your libnds directory, but if you want to create a new directory and add it to the libpath of the Makefile, it should work just as well. I apologize to anyone who is using this before 8/12/05 as all of the function names have changed. This should not happen again.
