cPrint
No more term.setTextColor()!
What is it?
cPrint is an API which was originally created as past of uGUI for my OS, but it is powerful enough to be an standalone tool.
It allows to change text and background colors inside of a string - like Minecraft's color codes!
How to use it?
Color coding:
To set text color: "&<color-code>"
To set background color: "$<color-code>"
To print "$" sign: Normal string: "\\$", Square bracket string: [[\$]]
To print "&" sign: Normal string: "\\&", Square bracket string: [[\&]]
Functions:
cprint.cprint(string)
Prints color parsed string.
Returns: nothing
cprint.toCode(int)
Changes int to it's string-hexadecimal form.
Returns: string
cprint.cCode(string)
Turns color code to color
Returns: int
cprint.clear([bool])
Clears terminal and if bool is not equal to false (or unset) sets cursor pos to 1, 1
cprint.sb(int)
Wrapper for term.setBackgroundColor()
cprint.st(int)
Wrapper for term.setTextColor()
cprint.sc(int, int)
Wrapper for term.setCursorPos()
Colors:
if code == "0" then return colors.white end
if code == "1" then return colors.orange end
if code == "2" then return colors.magenta end
if code == "3" then return colors.lightBlue end
if code == "4" then return colors.yellow end
if code == "5" then return colors.lime end
if code == "6" then return colors.pink end
if code == "7" then return colors.gray end
if code == "8" then return colors.lightGray end
if code == "9" then return colors.cyan end
if code == "a" then return colors.purple end
if code == "b" then return colors.blue end
if code == "c" then return colors.brown end
if code == "d" then return colors.green end
if code == "e" then return colors.red end
if code == "f" then return colors.black end
@up If you can't read it, it means you probably should look at the screenshot below :P/>
