TextScreenEmu is a java package which provides tools for emulating that old school text mode we all know and love (and sometimes hate).
It provides a main Screen
onto which characters from a Tileset
can be drawn. The screen has a foreground and background colour which are set according to a Palette
.
Several tilesets and palettes are provided but you can make your own using the factory classes.
Check out the wiki for more information, or download the jar and get started!
If anyone uses this to make something cool, I'd love to see it and I could even link to it from here!
