Asset Processing with STB TrueType — Handmade Hero — Episode Guide

0:02We can use libraries inside the asset processor

0:50Two ways of generating the font bitmaps: Resorting to windows or using a library

1:32Deciding to resort to an stb library

3:38The stb libraries

5:08The stb_truetype library

5:37Structure of the stb libraries

8:57Using the library

9:39Library integration in two lines

12:08Documentation of stb libraries

13:51Rasterizing one letter

16:31Pass the entire thing to Sean^α

18:27Using GetCodepointBitmap

19:27Font scaling; points and pixels

21:37Recording the size of returned bitmap and the X and Y displacement offsets

23:41Freeing the memory allocated by stb_truetype

24:30Appreciating work well done

25:43Using the character bitmap as a loaded_bitmap

30:49Displaying the bitmap

31:26Testing it

32:00Checking MakeNothingsTest

35:18Debugging the drawing code

36:10MakeEmptyBitmap was out of date and missing some initialization code

37:00Testing it again

38:38Flipping the letter bitmap upside-down

39:58Moving this code to the asset builder

42:09Merge handmade_asset_type_id.h into handmade_file_formats.h^β

43:03Adding one bitmap per letter to the asset file

46:42Reload the entire font file and make Sean parse it^γ

49:43Good job, Handmade Hero^δ

51:14Adapting the font rasterizer test code to the asset system

53:20Adapting the asset system to the new asset type

57:37AddCharacterAsset

59:22Thank the compiler^ε

59:58Go ahead and run our generator^ζ

1:00:18Try and debug the program in Visual Studio

1:00:49Let's try that again^η

1:01:18This machine is very old^θ

1:02:37Try to change the heads to be fonts^ι

1:03:03Filtering which letters spew out of the fountain

1:07:29Library success!^κ

1:09:53@JamesWidman Until tonight, I thought there was a use case for CMake (which is that, if the user compiles the program, it finds libraries so that you don't need to know where they're installed). But now... it seems the STB way is the only reasonable default. I think I'm done with CMake for the foreseeable future

1:12:11@kknewkles You have used a library, and there are riots raging in the streets. I see shadows of pitchforks, cast by torch lights of the rabid crowd. Run, Casey, I'll do my best to slow them down. *tips his hat with a last farewell gaze*

1:15:08@kknewkles I'm curious: what do you look at when hiring an artist (I have no idea how you apply for that)? After watching a few episodes of Double Fine Adventure I'm in awe at how good artists at Double Fine seem to be and what kind of *richnesses* you have to have to be one of those. You also seem to practise more intelligent and humane approaches to hiring
