new RetroFont(game, key, characterWidth, characterHeight, chars, charsPerRow, xSpacing, ySpacing, xOffset, yOffset)
A Retro Font is similar to a BitmapFont, in that it uses a texture to render the text. However unlike a BitmapFont every character in a RetroFont is the same size. This makes it similar to a sprite sheet. You typically find font sheets like this from old 8/16-bit games and demos.

setText(content, multiLine, characterSpacing, lineSpacing, lineAlignment, allowLowerCase)
-
A helper function that quickly sets lots of variables at once, and then updates the text.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description content
string The text of this sprite.
multiLine
boolean <optional>
false Set to true if you want to support carriage-returns in the text and create a multi-line sprite instead of a single line.
characterSpacing
number <optional>
0 To add horizontal spacing between each character specify the amount in pixels.
lineSpacing
number <optional>
0 To add vertical spacing between each line of text, set the amount in pixels.
lineAlignment
string <optional>
'left' Align each line of multi-line text. Set to RetroFont.ALIGN_LEFT, RetroFont.ALIGN_RIGHT or RetroFont.ALIGN_CENTER.
allowLowerCase
boolean <optional>
false Lots of bitmap font sets only include upper-case characters, if yours needs to support lower case then set this to true.

-
updateOffset(xOffset, yOffset)
-
Updates the x and/or y offset that the font is rendered from. This updates all of the texture frames, so be careful how often it is called. Note that the values given for the x and y properties are either ADDED to or SUBTRACTED from (if negative) the existing offsetX/Y values of the characters. So if the current offsetY is 8 and you want it to start rendering from y16 you would call updateOffset(0, 8) to add 8 to the current y offset.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description xOffset
number <optional>
0 If the font set doesn't start at the top left of the given image, specify the X coordinate offset here.
yOffset
number <optional>
0 If the font set doesn't start at the top left of the given image, specify the Y coordinate offset here.
