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)
