# superprintf_love2d

This is a new printf function for love2d that let's you include images in your text, change colors inside the string and define custom commands.

## Usage

> printf = require("printf")

> printf["img"]["xbox_a"] = love.graphics.newImage("xbox_button_image_a.png")

> printf("[color:255,0,0,255]This is red text.[n]In a new line, I include an [img:xbox_a] inside the text", 5, 5, 300, "center", 300, "center")

The usage is very similar to love2d's printf only with a few extra parameters and, if given the same parameters, should behave identically (I hope). The important features regarding custom commands and images in the text are used in the main.lua example. Please note that there is also support for vertically and horizontally scrolling text and vertical alignment.

To define your custom commands, just add another key to printf and have a look at printf.lua to see how exactly these functions have to be implemented:

> function printf.red() return printf.color("", {255, 0, 0, 255}) end

If there are any questions or improvements, please let me know!
