Evening! Let's get right back to work.
++ Yesterday, we figured out how to correctly convert and display + an image on the screen. Today,we're going to figure out storing + those images, loading them at runtime, and switching to another + image later. +
++ So, first up: storing and loading the image. This is gonna need + me to look up how the espruino fs library works. BRB... +

+
+ + Well that was tremendously easy. First try baby, finally I'm not + completely stupid about something! We're gaming! I would take a + photo of the screen but I didn't change the image's position so + it looks exactly the same. but rest assured it is there! +
+OK, next up, we swap images on the fly.
+ Code Updated. Check the github link to keep up. + ++ Done! Again! Wow we're going win after win today. Apart from the + weird bit of artifacting in the top left of the image there, + but, er... I'm sure that's fine. Let's ignore it for now. We'll + see if it continues with other images. +
++ OK, so this is actually a fair cut through the work we need to + do here. So let's structure the screen a bit, and add the name + and descriptions. +
+ Code Updated. Check the github link to keep up. ++ Hoooo boy I spent a while here huh! So much for 'live' blogging. +
+ +
+
+ + While I've been gone I basically drew the rest of the fucking + owl. Look! It's the screen from the game! Pretty much + completely! +
++ There's some artistic license; in-game the perk description + displays in the same column as the image, but the available area + there is too small to display it readably on screen, so I've + bannered it at the bottom instead. +
++ But yeah, we've got the basics of the screen here! The list of + perks, the box around the selected one, the image, the + description. They're all loaded dynamically from the list of + files on the SD card, and I've just gone in and tested the + reselection with a timeout, and hot damn, it works. +
+ +
+
+ + Additionally, if you're code digging, you'll see I've done a + bunch of reorganisation. While I was hacking before, I've gone + in and refactored and made all of this actually functionally + useful for building up the application proper. +
++ Next thing, then, is input. Which hopefully, shouldn't be too + bad? I'll tackle that at some point over the weekend. Then it's + just filling the rest of the perk data (and fixing whatever is + wrong with the action girl image) and presto, that's a screen! +
