#screenshotsaturday and why the 4th demo is taking me so long


You're maybe wondering, my guy fezman, what you can't make a text engine, that's like a couple of lines of code!

Well, I can, I made it on the first day of working on it, then what is the problem you may ask?

The problem is selective formatting.

Selective formatting is when you can change every letter individally by using special symbols like § or ¶ and format your text however you like. For example, the § symbol let's you adjust the color and transparency of your text, and the ¶ symbol let's you create clickable text, but instead of just redirecting you to a website, it can also trigger any event in the engine you want!

If you want to understand how to use the selective formatting option in the #fezEngine, you should follow fezEngine or my account and wait for the user documentation to be released.

Now I will explain what is the catch, it's that the selective formatting option takes half of the text engine's code and is very unoptimized. I already shortened the code in some ways (the screenshot provided is when I just created it so it's much better now), but I will be trying to optimize it further and I already have a solution in mind, but I'll leave that for other articles.

Stay tuned for the updates!
