Quickstart

Runs a little hello world terminal

(ns examples.basic
  (:require [zaffre.terminal :as zat]
            [zaffre.glterminal :as zgl]
            [zaffre.events :as zevents]
            [zaffre.font :as zfont]
            [zaffre.tilesets :as ztiles]
            [zaffre.util :as zutil]
            [clojure.core.async :as async :refer [<! <!! go-loop]]))

(defn -main [& _]
   (zgl/create-terminal
     {:app {           ;; Setup a layer group `:app`
       :layers [:text] ;; With one layer `:text`
       :columns 16     ;; 16 characters wide
       :rows 16        ;; 16 characters tall
       :pos [0 0]      ;; With no position offset
       :font (constantly ztiles/pastiche-16x16)}} ;; Give the group a nice font
     {:title "Zaffre demo"     ;; Set the window title
      :screen-width (* 16 16)  ;; Screen dimentions in pixels
      :screen-height (* 16 16)} ;; Since our font is 16x16 and our layer group
                                ;; is also 16x16
     (fn [terminal]     ;; Receive the terminal in a callback
       (let [last-key (atom nil)]   ;; Save the last key press in an atom
             ;; Every 33ms, draw a full frame
         (zat/do-frame terminal 33
           (let [key-in (or @last-key \?)]
             ;; For each frame
             (zat/clear! terminal) ;; Clear the terminal
             ;; Draw strings
             (zutil/put-string terminal :text 0 0 "Hello world")
             (zutil/put-string terminal :text 12 0 (str key-in))))
         ;; Receive key presses
         (zevents/add-event-listener terminal :keypress
           (fn [new-key]
             ;; Save last key
             (reset! last-key new-key)
             ;; Make the `q` key quit the application
             (case new-key
               \q (zat/destroy! terminal)
               nil)))))))
