GP2X Sdl_ttf Printf Functions

[Orkie]

I needed some functions that worked like printf() for SDL_ttf but I couldn't find any pre-written ones. I thought somebody may be interested (and it'll save them 5 minutes) so I uploaded them to the archives.

The only requirement is that the screen surface pointer is called 'screen' and is global so the functions can access it. Although the functions were written for C++, they'll work with C if you remove the 'using namespace std;' line from font.cpp.

Anybody can use them - they're under the MIT license.

It isn't hard, but like I said it'll save 5 minutes (longer if for people who've never used stdarg before). It's not really a library as such, just a few functions you may want to use. You should never release code without a license of some kind, as that implies nobody can use it.

Why was your post really needed?
