Nintendo homebrew improvises
With the Nintendo introducing its updated version of the Woopsi the users are all set for a celebration. There are a lot of benefits that you can get with this homebrew and these include all of your gadgets being converted to use WoopsiStrings instead of raw chars/char arrays. This would also mean that the homebrew would be supporting the UTF-8. There are a lot of other changes available in Text class to support UTF-8 and these are helpful with homebrew. There are some changed parameters to GraphicsUnclipped::drawText and subclasses that you can benefit from. There is also the added StringIterator class, which provides you with efficient iteration over a UTF-8 string.
The homebrew comes with unique features where there is removed dependence on WoopsiString::getCharArray and one can also get a promoted FileRequester gadget from bonus folder to main library. You can enjoy the benefits of the libfat enabled by default in test projects and template along with the additional WoopsiString::lastIndexOf, WoopsiString::subString and the WoopsiString::indexOf. There is also the TextBox that implements key repeats when left or right d-pad is held down. Apart from these features there is also the cursor which moves repeatedly until the end of the string or d-pad released. The use of the MultiLineTextBox is to implement key repeats when left or right d-pad is held down. The contents of the textbox scrolls horizontally as cursor is moved and there is an added key repeat event handling to the entire system for the Nintendo homebrew.
