OpenGL Freetype

OpenGL/FreeType is a simple engine for displaying a unicode text using a (single) vertex buffer. The idea is simply to tightly pack every necessary glyphs into a single texture and to generate a single vertex buffer to draw the text.
Wordle
- Project page: none
- Latest sources: wordle.py
- Dependencies: python, cairo, numpy, pyglet
Inspired by the wordle site, I made a quick try in python using cairo, numpy and pyglet to get more or less the same result. The script allows you to save the image as well as a clickable map to link each word to a specific link. Code can be improved in a lot of different ways so feel free to modify it.
