This is mainly to reduce code size.
The write() function in class Arduboy2 has to remain virtual,
so functions that result in it eventually being called could
not be made static.
The members of the Point and Rect structures could not be made static
due to their intended use as having multiple instances.
Also to reduce code size, bootLogoExtra() was made non-virtual.
This meant that the begin() and bootLogo...() functions in the
Arduboy2Base class had to have duplicate or equivalent functions
added to the Arduboy2 class.
Related documentation was updated and some minor changes were made to
non-related documentation.
Recent releases of Doxygen have problems with using markdown within
markdown headers. Headers in README.md containing emphasis were
changed to only plain text.
Includes some suggestions and guidance by @Pharap
API:
- Rename non-API function swap() to swapInt16()
- Make swapInt16(), drawCircleHelper(), fillCircleHelper() and
struct BitStreamReader protected members of Arduboy2Base
- Add #define ARDUBOY_UNIT_NAME_BUFFER_SIZE for the size of a buffer
to hold a Unit Name
- Move the position of the PROGMEM keyword for lcdBootProgram[]
for consistency
Documentation:
- Remove absolute values referring to a Unit Name
- More details relating to the use of the Unit Name
- More details relating to the font and text functions
- Other minor documentation changes and spelling corrections
Flag SYS_FLAG_SHOW_LOGO_LEDS added to EEPROM_SYS_FLAGS.
The boot logo functions check the flag and leave the RGB LED off if
the flag isn't set.
Added functions writeShowBootLogoLEDsFlag() and
readShowBootLogoLEDsFlag() for writing and reading the
SYS_FLAG_SHOW_LOGO_LEDS flag.
Example sketch SetSystemEEPROM modified to allow setting the
SYS_FLAG_SHOW_LOGO_LEDS flag.
Flag SYS_FLAG_SHOW_LOGO added to EEPROM_SYS_FLAGS. The boot logo
functions check the flag and bypass the logo sequence if the flag
isn't set.
Added functions writeShowBootLogoFlag() and readShowBootLogoFlag()
for writing and reading the SYS_FLAG_SHOW_LOGO flag.
Renamed example sketch SetNameAndID to SetSystemEEPROM and added
the ability to set the SYS_FLAG_SHOW_LOGO flag, plus menus to reset
the system and user EEPROM areas.
The SpritesB class has functions identical to those in Sprites.
When used in place of Sprites it will usually reduce code size (at the
expense of slower execution speed). Code size reduction is accomplished
by factoring all draw modes into the same loop.
Modifications made to the Sprites class to create this class made by
@dxxb (Delio Brignoli).
Creation of the SpritesB class and documentation by
@MLXXXp (Scott Allen).
Also, bootLogoSpritesBSelfMasked() and bootLogoSpritesBOverwrite()
alternative boot logo functions added by @MLXXXp.
Macro ARDUBOY_NO_USB will provide a substitute main() which will cause
the compiler to leave out the USB code. The macro also adds a check
for the DOWN button being pressed and, if so, will call the new
exitToBootloader() function.
New function exitToBootloader() will invoke the bootloader in command
mode, similar to pressing reset.
New function waitNoButtons() replaces the code at the end of begin()
that waits for all buttons to be released. This is to make it easier
to add back this functionality when using boot() in place of begin().
New functions bootLogoCompressed(), bootLogoSpritesSelfMasked() and
bootLogoSpritesOverwrite() can be used in place of bootLogo() to
reduce code size in cases where their drawing functions are shared
with the same functions used by the sketch.
New function bootLogoShell() added to provide common code for the
above functions.
Also, the Sprites class functions, and functions used for drawing the
logos, were made static.
Also:
- Changes to show the unit name on the boot logo screen
- Added new example sketch SetNameAndID to allow setting the name and ID
- Updated the LICENSE.txt file and made changes to include it in the
Doxygen generated documentation
The Sprites class has been given direct access to the screen buffer so it
doesn't need a pointer to been given to it.
Also updated README.md and keywords.txt, and made minor indent changes in
the .h files.
- Version changed to 2.1.0
- Added sprite, button and collision functions from ArduboyExtra
- Added drawCompressed() function from Arglib
- Updated LICENSE.txt
- Removed CONTRIBUTORS.md (now covered by LICENSE.txt)
