Slow work, yesterday, but I think it works well enough..

-=-=-

Over on VidGen 2, I've rewritten a ton of the canvas stuff, so that I now have 3 separate buffers.
The main Draw buffer exists as it was, but is now offscreen. Instead, at the end of each frame, the buffer is duplicated over to the Display buffer which is the one you can see onscreen.

Meanwhile, text is drawn to the Text buffer, and that is then drawn either to the Draw Buffer before the after effect, to the Draw Buffer after the after effects, or onto the Display buffer after everything is done on the Draw Buffer.
!!

At the minute, the "In Front" and "Behind" don't actually look all too dissimilar, so I might need to rejig how they're drawn, but there's enough of a reason to switch between the two options.



.. Of course, it's still not ready to go. I'm still wrapped up in how the "tap to display" thing is going to work, entirely, since I've realised that .. sometimes I need two sets of lyrics onscreen at once. (eg, then there's a background vocal)
Not sure how to do that, unless each "group" has its own set of taps..
I guess that could work..?
*shrugs*

Keep going, Jay!
You can do it!!
