Libraries.Game.Graphics.Fonts.FontManager

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Example Code

Object o
        Object t
        integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Object
        use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
        Object o
        Text t
        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

This action will return an array of all files found in the system's default font folder.

Example Code

use Libraries.Game.Graphics.Fonts.FontManager
        use Libraries.Game.GameStateManager
        use Libraries.System.File
        use Libraries.Containers.Array
        use Libraries.Game.Game

        class Main is Game
            action Main
                StartGame()
            end

            action CreateGame
                GameStateManager gameState
                FontManager manager = gameState:GetFontManager()
                Array<File> fontFiles = font:GetAvailableFonts()
                integer index = 0
                output "The following fonts are available on the system: "
                repeat fontFiles:GetSize() times
                    File temp = fontFiles:Get(index)
                    output temp:GetPath()
                    index = index + 1
                end
            end
        end

This action provides a single source of truth for where the fonts live on a particular operating system.

A prefix used to indicate a locally loaded font fil

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

This action will look in the default system font folder and look for a font of the given name. If a font is found with the same name, the action will return true. Otherwise, it returns false.

Example Code

use Libraries.Game.Graphics.Fonts.FontManager
        use Libraries.Game.GameStateManager
        use Libraries.Game.Game

        class Main is Game
            action Main
                StartGame()
            end

            action CreateGame
                GameStateManager gameStateManager
                FontManager fontManager = gameStateManager:GetFontManager()
                boolean hasFont = fontManager:IsFontAvailable("Times New Roman")
            end
        end

This action allows us to override the location fonts are loaded from. This should not be used unless you know what you are doing. This path must be an absolute path to the directory where fonts are loaded.
