Zettablade from the QJ.NET Forums (forums.qj.net) has updated Velocity Library (vLib), a "general purpose library" for quickly making simple 2D games (although some limited 3D features are included in the library). Earlier this month, we reported on vLib v1.0 and vLib v1.1.

Velocity Library v1.2 features include:

* Loads PNG images
* Load image into ram and vram
* Auto-swizzles images upon loading (makes for a much faster blit)
* Draw images
* Rotate images
* Crop images
* Draw an image from a specified center
* Unload images
* Enable/Disable linear filter
* Powerful input checking
* Functions for init/uninit library and drawing
* Set it to draw for 2D or 3D
* And much more (this is only a partial list - please consult the README for more details)

GPL. Zettablade is releasing this homebrew under GPL (General Public License), a common free software license giving all of you the license, copy, and distribute the software. Please consult the gpl.txt file included in the "docs" folder of the vLib.zip file.

Zettablade adds:

If you would like to contribute, please, go right a head. I still have plenty of features to add to it, and any help would be appreciated. If you would like to know more about this, join the #psp-programming channel on irc.freenode.net.

Everything you need to know to use this is in the readme and the included sample, if you need any help or would like to talk more about this, talk to me on the #psp-programming channel or email me. You can also PM me. I would prefer IRC though.
