random access to character maps #101

Closed aroman closed 5 years ago

aroman commented 5 years ago

thanks for this great library!

i am wondering why the character map feature is only exposed via push/pop. wouldn't it be far more useful to be able to apply a character map by name or index?

obviously i could write a hacky workaround to do this using push and pop, but why not simply have a useCharacterMap function?

Glad you like it!

Character maps are designed to be layered - some sprites might be transparent in one layer and non transparent in other, etc. So a stack structure is the most appropriate structure for this. While theoretically applying them by name or index could be part of the library - it seems like an edge case. However, if you do end up implementing this, consider submitting a PR.
