AR:p5 Global Variables:
resX: [integer]
- The number of characters horizontally on the text canvas. Calculated in
charSetup().
resY: [integer]
- The number of characters vertically on the text canvas. Calculated in
charSetup().
font: [p5.Font]
- The font that is used by AR:p5 to give it the classic ascii look. It is monospaced and included in the template file.
charWidth [float]
- The width of a single character in pixels using
font as its font. Calculated in charSetup().
charHeight [float]
- The height of a single character in pixels using
font as its font. Calculated in charSetup().
outBlock [resX by resY array]
- The 2D array used to store the current frame that is being drawn on. It is modified by all of the shape functions and at the end of every draw loop it is displayed with
printOut().
notAllowedCharacters [string]
- A string that contains every character that has been known to break things. If a character exists in this string, you should try not to use it for displaying things.
gradients [array]
- The gradients array is a list of strings where every string is a gradient for use with the drawing functions and the shape functions. Any given entry in the gradients array represents the characters that a colour will be mapped to. Each gradient is arranged from left to right, and carefully avoid the use of any character from the
notAllowedCharacters array. Feel free to add your own gradients to this array. The current gradient that is in use can be changed with gradientMode().
currentGradient [string]
- A string from the
gradients array that is used to determine the colours in your sketch. By default initialized to the first entry in the gradients array.
currentStroke [char]
- The character that is currently being used as the outline of shapes. Can be set using
charStroke().
currentFill [char]
- The character that is currently being used as the fill colour of shapes. Can be set using
charFill().
currentTranslation [1x2 array]
- A list in the format [x, y] that stores the current translation information.
coordinateMode [string]
- A string that either contains
'screen' or 'char'. Used by shape functions to change how coordinates are interpreted.
cubeVertices [const 1 by 24 array]
- A 3x8 array of cube vertex coordinates that has been flattened into a 1x24 array. Mainly used for debugging 3D stuff, which doesn’t currently work.
cubeEdges [const 1 by 24 array]
- A 2x12 array of connections between cube vertices that has been flattened into a 1x12 array. Mainly used for debugging 3D stuff, which doesn’t currently work.
