Alarmii - a virtually useless program! [v1.0]

I made an alarm clock (it was a request honest!). Enjoyed making it though, a good break from adapting to the Wii...now back to my game :)

Oh, here's a screenshot - click the link below if you want to download (sorry it's the only thing on my site right now!)

I downloaded it!

It looks really sexy ;)

Good to see a couple more people enjoying my work :)
Really inspires me too, with a better understanding of the whole Wii dev cycle...and of course what not to do next time!

What library did you use for graphics and fonts (if you used a library)?

All custom, I've only based on the default "lesson 5". Previous OGL experience helped of course.

The font is tile/bitmap based. With each character's width manually (!) measured and stored - for use with both positioning the next character, and quickly measuring string widths. Not exactly kerning, more "tracking"...though I might expand on this as and when required (surely a kerning database won't be too large to [re]invent on the fly?;)).



As you can see, using texcoords, each character is a fast 32x32 blit =]
(btw: sorry if I over explained, just thought it might help others)

That's cool, thanks very much DanielHueho!
