I wrote three methods in C# for a code project tip i made recently. It was so trivial I didn't even put a download link - copypasta only. It was very well received.

Meanwhile I am slaving over GFX - a replacement for Adafruit's graphics library that isn't tied to Arduino or even IoT, and can potentially support more devices and platforms.

So far, I've got like maybe one person following it. Meanwhile, coding it has kept me up, made me pace, even fret. I feel a bit like Poe, but the raven is my project, and not quite so dark as Poe's rendition.

At the same time it may drive me madd(er) through sheer attrition. Each day I feel like I'm a day away from the next article/phase of the project.

And for all this, by the time I'm done with it the article won't even be that long.

I don't strictly *need* this project. I could use Adafruit's offering with the arduino framework whenever i need graphics, but I want to move away from Arduino and I want this to work on ARM offerings as well - although so far I *despise* every arm toolchain I've found. The compile times are unreal

** as a side note, has anyone ever managed to make GCC compile object files in parallel and then link them at the end? That would massively speed up my compile times, and make building with ARM not make me want to burn my computer to the ground. Mad | :mad: NVM I found out how. You have to use make -j

Update! I'm loading fonts from old .FON files, rendering them to a bitmap and then rendering that bitmap to the console: Laugh | :laugh:
