Place a character in a particular position.

[WEREMSOFT]

Is there a way to place a charcter in a specific position on the screen? In the case we want to implement some rich ui for console applications.

Also, colors?

[IanSeyler]

At the moment, no. I think I'll be reworking how the API works for BareMetal-Monitor to add support for this.

[WEREMSOFT]

I thought it was a memory region with the screen content. If there is a chance to have it, it will be cool.

[IanSeyler]

Sure. I could add a function within BareMetal-Monitor to do this but any running application wouldn't get to use that functionality. Right now the API is just for kernel functions and the kernel doesn't know anything about printing characters to the screen - it just knows the screen dimensions and the address of the memory.

[IanSeyler]

Currently you can set the foreground color, background color, cursor row, and cursor column.

[IanSeyler]

I'll build some more functionality and then get a C header written up as well.

[WEREMSOFT]

That will be awesome.

cool, I'll see if I can implement some UI on it. Is there any change to have mouse support any time soon?

[IanSeyler]

No promises on mouse support any time soon but I may look into it.
