Can someone create a small list of changes so that I can update the wiki?

[gecko]

I'll try to condense the changes

- Add new functions
WRITE* (fontid, x, y, z, alignm, ...)
SET_TEXT_COLOR(textid, color)
GET_TEXT_COLOR(textid)
MOVE_TEXT(textid, x, y, z)

// [ TEXT FUNCTIONS CODE SAMPLE ]
import "mod_text";
import "mod_mouse";
import "mod_key";
import "mod_video";
import "mod_rand";
import "mod_map";

private
    txt[10];
    counter;
    tz;
begin
    set_mode(640,480,32);

    txt[0]=write_int(0,10,10,10,0,&counter);
    txt[1]=write_int(0,10,20,-5,0,&tz);
    txt[2]=write(0,10,10,0,0,"hello world");

    set_text_color(txt[1], rgb(255,0,0));


    while(!key(_ESC))

        counter++;

        move_text(txt[2], mouse.x, mouse.y, tz );

        set_text_color(txt[0], rand(0101010h, 0ffffffh));

        if ( key( _DOWN ) ) tz--; end
        if ( key( _UP ) ) tz++; end

        frame;
    end
end

- now if set_mode fail return -1, else return 0

[SplinterGU]

and several fix, I remember:

- Palette system fixs
- blitter on little graphs fixed

[SplinterGU]

- add env var VIDEO_FULLSCREEN
- add support set_video with width=0 and height=0

[handsource-dyko]

What is width=0 and height=0 used for?

[JaViS]

It'll detect your native resolution and set the game to it.

[JaViS]

- add env var VIDEO_FULLSCREEN

Great addition by the way!

[handsource-dyko]

Oh, so it happens automatically this way. Nice!  :)

[MisterN]

could you make that work with scalemode?

[SplinterGU]

could you make that work with scalemode?

which of them? enviroment vars? width = height = 0? which?

[MisterN]

width = height = 0
