E1 - BASE EXAMPLES

E1M1 - Hello world

You can control console window via static members of Util class:

Util.Title = "E1M1 - Hello world";
Util.Width = 80;
Util.Height = 25;
Util.CursorVisible = false;

For to control console's content you must use Util.Buffer:

Util.Buffer.Clear();
Util.Buffer.Write(0, 0, "Hello world");

This library uses buffering, so after Util.Buffer was filled you must call Util.Swap() method:

Util.Swap();

E1M2 - Simple events loop

For to events access you must use Events.NextEvent() method. Here simple events loop:

while (true)
{
	//process input events
	Event e = Events.GetNext(true);
	//...
	
	//update screen
	//...
}

The Event struct contains info about event kind and additional event data (cursor pos, key and etc).

//ESC key was released
if (e.Kind == EventKind.Key && !e.Key.Press && e.Key.Key == ConsoleKey.Escape)
    break;

E1M3 - Load canvas content

Console content can be easy saved or loaded via simple text format:

Canvas pic = Canvas.Load("screen.rl");
Util.Buffer.Copy(pic, 4, 1);

Here example and description of *.rl format:
