Multi-colored SpriteFont text rendering engine

2

Update: I’ve added three new things to my renderer.

  • Measurement functions, so you can measure a string accounting for color codes.
  • TextRenderer.Default allows you to have a “default” instance of the text renderer class that can be used anywhere, which is important for:
  • Extension methods for SpriteFont and SpriteBatch:
    • SpriteFont.MeasureString(string text, float lineWidth) - measure a word-wrapped string, accounting for color codes, using this font.
    • SpriteBatch.DrawColoredString(SpriteFont font, string text, Vector2 position, float lineWidth) - draw a multicolored string to this sprite batch at the given location with the given maximum line width.
