new RetroFont(game, key, characterWidth, characterHeight, chars, charsPerRow, xSpacing, ySpacing, xOffset, yOffset)
A Retro Font is similar to a BitmapFont, in that it uses a texture to render the text. However unlike a BitmapFont every character in a RetroFont
is the same size. This makes it similar to a sprite sheet. You typically find font sheets like this from old 8/16-bit games and demos.

render(displayObject, matrix, clear)
-
This function will draw the display object to the RenderTexture.
In versions of Phaser prior to 2.4.0 the second parameter was a Phaser.Point object.
This is now a Matrix allowing you much more control over how the Display Object is rendered.
If you need to replicate the earlier behavior please use Phaser.RenderTexture.renderXY instead.If you wish for the displayObject to be rendered taking its current scale, rotation and translation into account then either
passnull
, leave it undefined or passdisplayObject.worldTransform
as the matrix value.Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description displayObject
Phaser.Sprite | Phaser.Image | Phaser.Text | Phaser.BitmapText | Phaser.Group The display object to render to this texture.
matrix
Phaser.Matrix <optional>
Optional matrix to apply to the display object before rendering. If null or undefined it will use the worldTransform matrix of the given display object.
clear
boolean <optional>
false If true the texture will be cleared before the display object is drawn.
- Inherited From
- Source code: gameobjects/RenderTexture.js (Line 117)
-
renderRawXY(displayObject, x, y, clear)
-
This function will draw the display object to the RenderTexture at the given coordinates.
When the display object is drawn it doesn't take into account scale, rotation or translation.
If you need those then use RenderTexture.renderXY instead.
Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description displayObject
Phaser.Sprite | Phaser.Image | Phaser.Text | Phaser.BitmapText | Phaser.Group The display object to render to this texture.
x
number The x position to render the object at.
y
number The y position to render the object at.
clear
boolean <optional>
false If true the texture will be cleared before the display object is drawn.
- Inherited From
- Source code: gameobjects/RenderTexture.js (Line 89)
-
renderXY(displayObject, x, y, clear)
-
This function will draw the display object to the RenderTexture at the given coordinates.
When the display object is drawn it takes into account scale and rotation.
If you don't want those then use RenderTexture.renderRawXY instead.
Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description displayObject
Phaser.Sprite | Phaser.Image | Phaser.Text | Phaser.BitmapText | Phaser.Group The display object to render to this texture.
x
number The x position to render the object at.

Parameters
Name Type Description width
Number The width to resize to.
height
Number The height to resize to.
updateBase
Boolean Should the baseTexture.width and height values be resized as well?
- Inherited From
- Source code: pixi/textures/RenderTexture.js (Line 139)
-
setFixedWidth(width, lineAlignment)
-
If you need this RetroFont to have a fixed width and custom alignment you can set the width here.
If text is wider than the width specified it will be cropped off.Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description width
number Width in pixels of this RetroFont. Set to zero to disable and re-enable automatic resizing.
lineAlignment
string <optional>
'left' Align the text within this width. Set to RetroFont.ALIGN_LEFT (default), RetroFont.ALIGN_RIGHT or RetroFont.ALIGN_CENTER.
- Source code: gameobjects/RetroFont.js (Line 275)

Specifies the region of the baseTexture that this texture will use.
Parameters
Name Type Description frame
Rectangle The frame of the texture to set it to
- Inherited From
- Source code: pixi/textures/Texture.js (Line 178)
-
setText(content, multiLine, characterSpacing, lineSpacing, lineAlignment, allowLowerCase)
-
A helper function that quickly sets lots of variables at once, and then updates the text.
Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description content
string The text of this sprite.
multiLine
boolean <optional>
false Set to true if you want to support carriage-returns in the text and create a multi-line sprite instead of a single line.
characterSpacing
number <optional>
0 To add horizontal spacing between each character specify the amount in pixels.
lineSpacing
number <optional>
0 To add vertical spacing between each line of text, set the amount in pixels.
lineAlignment
string <optional>
'left' Align each line of multi-line text. Set to RetroFont.ALIGN_LEFT, RetroFont.ALIGN_RIGHT or RetroFont.ALIGN_CENTER.
allowLowerCase
boolean <optional>
false Lots of bitmap font sets only include upper-case characters, if yours needs to support lower case then set this to true.
- Source code: gameobjects/RetroFont.js (Line 293)
-
updateOffset(xOffset, yOffset)
-
Updates the x and/or y offset that the font is rendered from. This updates all of the texture frames, so be careful how often it is called.
Note that the values given for the x and y properties are either ADDED to or SUBTRACTED from (if negative) the existing offsetX/Y values of the characters.
So if the current offsetY is 8 and you want it to start rendering from y16 you would call updateOffset(0, 8) to add 8 to the current y offset.Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description xOffset
number <optional>
0 If the font set doesn't start at the top left of the given image, specify the X coordinate offset here.
yOffset
number <optional>
0 If the font set doesn't start at the top left of the given image, specify the Y coordinate offset here.
