ideas:visual_novel
Idea for a visual novel, running in Pico Watch. This was discussed in #lobby on irc.milkmedicine.net:6697 on the 26 june.
11:15 < confusomu> i just got an idea: a visual novel targetting a 128x64
monochrome display
11:18 < confusomu> but there are some constrains, as id like to work on a
microcontroller: preferably C/C++ or something that can link
with that, max 6 MB build, you have probably 4-5 buttons for
controls
11:19 < confusomu> it can be done on a pc and then i can port it
Font
The font used was “Sans-serif” (9 px size) in GIMP. It is visible here on the right: 
I'll have to write a font renderer that does not place letters in a monospaced grid. Shouldn't be too hard: in the draw column loop: if num_continuous_fully_empty_col > 2 then start drawing the next character. The 2 could change depending on the previous and current char for ligatures (have a table of them and the empty_cols space between them).
