+# AngelicLove
+AngelicLove - is a set of vectorized self-constructing Angelic language image-fonts for Love2D.  
+This project is inspired with NieR game series by Yoko Taro (at Square Enix) and mimics font variants presented in the games.  
+You do not need to download anything external or store any files excpet the module itself for this library to work. All fonts are drawn and generated internally.  
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Love2D 0.10.0 and higher is supported.

+
+# Installation
+* Download latest angeliclove.lua from releases and put it in your require path.
+  
+OR
+* submodule branch [angeliclove](https://github.com/REUSS-dev/AngelicLove/tree/angeliclove) of this repository into your project
+
+# Usage
+```lua
+-- Import AngelicLove via require as you usually do for modules
+local angelic = require("angeliclove")
+
+-- Create new AngelicFont object via `new` call from angeliclove lib
+local angelAuto = angelic.new(angelic.FontStyle.AUTOMATA, 30)
+
+-- Retrieve font from AngelicFont object and use it for your needs.
+local afont = angelAuto:getFont()
+
+function love.draw()
+  love.graphics.setFont(afont)
+  love.graphics.print("Hello world!", 100, 100)
+end
+```
+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/571eca0b-5747-4a43-98ab-732138079a63)  
+You can also use `afont = angelic.new(angelic.FontStyle.AUTOMATA, 30):getFont()` to create LOVE2D font in one line, if you do not plan to make changes to it.\
+\
+`AngelicFont:getFont()` can also be safely called repeatedly.  
+This allows to reflect changes you do to Angelic font elsewhere.
+```lua
+function love.draw()
+  love.graphics.setFont(angelAuto:getFont())
+  love.graphics.print("Hello world!", 100, 100)
+end
+
+-- Makes font smaller when "F" key is pressed.
+function love.keypressed(key)
+  if key == "f" then
+    angelAuto:setSize(20)
+  end
+end
+```
+# Documentation
+### angelic.new(FontStyle|StylePreset style, number size, boolean noVariance): AngelicFont
+Create new AngelicFont object
+* `FontStyle|StylePreset style` - Font style of your newly created Angelic font. Can be either entry from FontStyle enum or self-defined style preset table (format below).
+* `number size` - Height of a character for a new Angelic font (in pixels)
+* `boolean noVariance` - When true, disables upper-case/lower-case variance for font styles that support it.
+
+A self-defined `StylePreset` can be created and used to create your own "unicode character to angelic character" correspondance map for your Angelic font.  
+**Format of self-defined StylePreset table**
+```lua
+local stylePreset = {
+  name = "myPreset", -- string
+  characterVariant = angelic.CharacterVariant.Automata, -- CharacterVariant
+  characters = { -- table<unicode_character, AngelicCharacter|{AngelicCharacter, AngelicCharacter}> Unicode to Angelic character map.
+    -- Unicode character can be mapped to one Angelic character (both lower-case and upper-case variations of this unicode character will be mapped to this Angelic character)
+    ["a"] = angelic.AngelicCharacter.ALEPH
+    -- Or it can be mapped to two Angelic characters. Lower-case variant will use the first element of the table, upper-case variant will use second element of the table. If noVariance is enabled for this Angelic font, upper-case will also use first element of the table as its Angelic character.
+    ["b"] = { angelic.AngelicCharacter.BETH, AngelicCharacter.VAU }
+
+    -- All Angelic character names are exposed through enum angelic.AngelicCharacter
+  }
+}
+```
