Woopsi - Amiga-esque Windowing System v0.41

November 24th, 2009, 15:38 Posted By: wraggster

Ant512 has released a new version of his Amiga-esque Windowing System for the Nintendo DS:

Woopsi is a Nintendo DS GUI library for rapidly creating user interfaces for homebrew software. Modelled after the AmigaOS windowing system.

Heres the rather long whats new:

Version 0.41 is now available.

This version contains the usual set of bugfixes, optimisations and new test projects. The SDL compatibility layer has been greatly improved in this release - I compiled a quick test for the GP2X F-200 and it now runs at the same speed as the DS version.

New features are limited to some more graphics functions. It is now possible to draw bitmaps in greyscale, and convert a region of a bitmap to greyscale.

- Fixes:

- Graphics::dim() draws to correct dimensions.
- GraphicsPort::dim() clips properly.
- BitmapButton::getPreferredDimensions() returns the correct size.
- AnimButton::getPreferredDimensions() returns the correct size.
- Anim button animation continues playing correctly when clicked if disabled.
- ListBox::getPreferredDimensions() returns the correct size.
- ListBox::draw() clips more effectively.
- Removed getEditableData() bodge from bitmap classes; all interaction with bitmap data happens through bitmap methods.
- Moved IK bitmaps out of demo folder/NDS into animbutton test.
- ScrollingListBox::getPreferredDimensions() returns the correct size.

- AnimButton animations pause when the button is disabled.
- DMA copying function uses DMA for RAM->VRAM copies.
