Why no VDP_PLAN_WINDOW?

[cero]

I wonder why all the tile functions only take plane A and B - how should we use the window plane?

[Stef]

Haha, well i guess i forgot this one
Not the first time someone is wondering about that, you can still set the tilemap data from window plan by directly using the internal VRAM address but i will add the VDP_PLAN_WINDOW in the next version (see this issue)

it's funny because it seems people just forgot to read vdp.h...

You're not the first one to look for VDP_PLAN_WINDOW

but in fact, it exists...
https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK/blob ... /vdp.h#L89
https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK/blob ... vdp.h#L128

it's not a "real" plan since it use PLAN_A
so VDP_WINDOW is the correct name for my point of view

I use it without problem...

[Stef]

Haha indeed, i though i still had some methods using the old enum which made the VDP_WINDOW parameter impossible but afaik that is not the case so we could use it in place of VDP_PLAN_A or VDP_PLAN_B.
I just need to update documentation

[cero]

Since all docs say "this function only takes PLAN_A and PLAN_B", it's quite reasonable to assume the define is just preliminary/not fully implemented.

[Stef]

Yep, it's why documentation will be updated to fix that
