Colors for text?
-
I noticed when looking through IntroText.h that before some of them, escape sequences were made for colors, what I got from it was
\b = backspace (I assume)
\bl or \l is a light red
\bo or \o is a yellow
\br or \r is a darker red
Is there anymore colors possible, or is this all we have to choose from?

There are only these colors AFAIK, but you can add yours in Graphics.cpp!

C-style strings
Why are those still used anyways?

Because there's no reason to use anything else. Most if not all functions in TPT only read those strings, not write them. They don't build strings. The ones that do are rare and, well, even those use C-style strings.
Big nope, read below.

Check out drawtext in RasterDrawMethods.inl, you can see the character codes for various coloured stuff.
\x0F (followed by R G and B values) will give you pretty much any colour you want, except pure black and \x0E will revert to the original colour. One that hasn't been mentioned is \x01, which will invert the current text colour.
Also, plain C strings is just stuff that was never ported fully from C, and no UTF-8 because it's hard.Edited once by Simon. Last: 7th Jul 2016
