Samples common files & code PART 1

We have seen many code samples about the ps vita's handlement of inputs. and some more about how to show info on screen. Although there are still a few samples with functions unseen, in this entry we are going to review some of the basics. To do this we are going to use some samples we have not seen before, because they would have been overlapped with others samples needlessly.

Note: they may be overlapped with others, but that does not mean they are less important. Many people may have started with them instead.

The specific samples we are going to use for review are:

    common: Common functions for samples.
    debug_print: A minimal debug print sample.
    debugscreen: Debug text printing sample.
    pretty_livearea: A minimal hello world sample with example livearea styling and features.

Note: As we did with the first sample entry, we are going to review the files primarily.

Without further ado, let's start!


SAMPLE "common"

// headers and functions for the screen output. Data formats, and its memory control.
 debugScreen.h
 debugScreen.c

//Like the name says it has the font properties at low-level.
 debugScreenFont.builder.html
 debugScreen_custom.h
 debugScreenFont.c


SAMPLE "debug_print"

 // it basically shows you a printf like the hello_world sample, but with more details (foreground/background colors)
 // to make your debugging more appealing with colors in your printed messages.
 main.c


SAMPLE "debugscreen"

 //  test functions to check stuff on the vita, it has a lot of info about what is shown on screen.
 main.c

SAMPLE "pretty_live area"

// it has the same code as in the hello_world sample. But here you have other 2 images, to know how to make your homebrew more atractive.
