Code To Rich Text

This tool converts code to the Rich Text format used by Unity.
Written in Python.

Tools/Frameworks Used

• Pygments
• html.parser

Example Command

python main.py
-p "../../prepared/example/src/main/java/Main.java"
-o "exported/"
-c "schema/color1.json"

To retrieve detailed information of how to run the script, use:

python3 main.py -h

The exported file will have the same name but a different extension.
For the previous command, the output file would be Main.java.rt.
With rt as a shortcut for Rich Text.

Result:

<color=#8000FF>class</color> <color=#045FB4>Main</color> {

    <color=#8000FF>public</color> <color=#8000FF>static</color> <color=#8000FF>void</color> main(String[] args) {

        <color=#8000FF>boolean</color> OPTION_A = false;
        <color=#8000FF>boolean</color> OPTION_B = true;
        <color=#8000FF>boolean</color> OPTION_C = false;
        <color=#8000FF>boolean</color> OPTION_D = true;

        Calc c = <color=#8000FF>new</color> Calc(15,5);

        <color=#8000FF>int</color> sum = 0;
        <color=#8000FF>if</color> (OPTION_A) { sum = c.<color=#045FB4>add</color>(); }
        
        <color=#8000FF>int</color> diff = 0;
        <color=#8000FF>if</color> (OPTION_B) { diff = c.<color=#045FB4>sub</color>(); }

        <color=#8000FF>int</color> prod = 0;
        <color=#8000FF>if</color> (OPTION_C) { prod = c.<color=#045FB4>sub</color>(); }

        <color=#8000FF>float</color> quot = 0;
        <color=#8000FF>if</color> (OPTION_D) { quot = c.<color=#045FB4>div</color>(); }

        System.<color=#045FB4>out</color>.<color=#045FB4>println</color>(sum);
        System.<color=#045FB4>out</color>.<color=#045FB4>println</color>(diff);
        System.<color=#045FB4>out</color>.<color=#045FB4>println</color>(prod);
        System.<color=#045FB4>out</color>.<color=#045FB4>println</color>(quot);
    }

}

Unity Text Limits

Some Calculation

Limit (found online): 65535 vertices
-> Character Limit: 65535 / 4 = 16383 (around 16000) characters

file: main.py:
characters: 6993
vertices (char * 4): 27972
-> should fit 2 times in a Unity text component
-> Test Result: "It does so (as expected)."

file: main.py.rt
characters: 9062
vertices (char * 4): 36248
-> should only fit once in a Unity text component
-> Test Result: "It does so (as expected)."

The limit seems to be correct.

ToDo

• Export result to file
• Export whole program code (currently only one file)
