Recently I've made an attempt to look Rainbows-based and WinFB examples, but they failed to compile.
reference/UWord_FB seems to be broken too.
Is it some kind of upgrade going on? Or framebuffer-based stuff is completely broken in latest revisions?
By the way, I consider making framebuffer-like front-end for e-ink displays. It's 4 bits per pixel and needs manual updates of display. How do you think, will it be possible to implement it without changing any of Ctrl or any other U++ internals?
Thanks.
Yes, it might be broken now. There were changes in CtrlCore; so far I have only fixed "canonical" backends. But should be easy to fix (might do it soon).
e-ink: definitely possible. But I would say that due to manual updates, your GUI will have to be changed a bit anyway....
In any case, I would probably start by thinking about some screen buffer (with all pixels) in application and some mechanism how to put that data to e-ink.
4-bits is not a problem at all, just make convert RGBA to monochorome... (maybe you might want some dithering too).
