📽️Presentation System

Presenting your things to the kernel!

This API provides you the presentation system used for presenting something to your users in the full-screen view. It's like a presentation in steroids.

Please note that this API is dependent on the actual console and may behave differently based on the console driver you've loaded to your kernel.

How to present

To present your presentation to your users, you must implement a Presentation class instance, which must assign the following variables in the constructor:

• Name

  • Presentation name

• Pages

  • Presentation pages (List of PresentationPage instances)

To implement the PresentationPage instances, you must call its constructor with the following variables:

• Name

  • Presentation page name

• Pages

  • Presentation page elements (List of IElement instances)

To implement the page elements, make new instances of the elements. Base elements that Nitrocid KS implements are:

• TextElement

  • Static text.

  • The first argument in the element Arguments is the string to be printed.

  • Optionally, InvokeAction can be specified to take any action after the element is rendered by IElement.Render().

• DynamicTextElement

  • Dynamic text.

  • The first argument in the element Arguments is the action to which it generates the string, for example, TimeDateRenderers.Render().

  • Optionally, InvokeAction can be specified to take any action after the element is rendered by IElement.Render().

• InputElement

  • Input.

  • The first argument in the element Arguments is the action to which it generates the input string, for example, TimeDateRenderers.Render().

  • Optionally, InvokeActionInput can be specified to take any action after the element is rendered by IElement.Render(). It is invoked with the written input as the first element in the object list array.

• MaskedInputElement

  • Masked input.

  • The first argument in the element Arguments is the action to which it generates the input string, for example, TimeDateRenderers.Render().

  • Optionally, InvokeActionInput can be specified to take any action after the element is rendered by IElement.Render(). It is invoked with the written input as the first element in the object list array.

You can also make your custom IElement in your mod code, and no registration is needed.
