/**
 * \file message.h
 * \brief Message dialog.
 * \ingroup actions
 * \ingroup drawing
 *
 * This module's purpose is to show a dialog box into the screen to show text
 * and optionally ask the user a question. It is similar to what you're used to
 * see in many RPGs.
 *
 * To use it use the following procedure:
 *
 * 1. Create a struct message object and set required properties,
 * 2. Call \ref message_start to reset the state,
 * 3. Call \ref message_handle and \ref message_update with appropriate values,
 * 4. Call \ref message_draw to render the dialog.
 *
 * Depending on message flags or user input, step 3 may return true in this
 * case you should stop using the message as it has completed rendering.
 *
 * \note All properties must exist until the object is no longer used.
 *
 * \code
 * struct message msg = {
 * 	// You can show up to 6 lines.
 * 	.text = {
 * 		"Hello, what's up?"
 * 	},
 * 	// This indicates this message is a question.
 * 	.flags = MESSAGE_FLAGS_QUESTION
 * };
 * \endcode
 *
 * For performance reasons, flexibility and simplicity, the message box does
 * not try to be clever about positions of lines. It will simply create an
 * animation for opening the box, drawing the lines to the position according
 * to the theme padding and spacing and interact with user. For convenience
 * though, the \ref message_query can be used to determine dimensions required
 * for a better final result.
 *
 * ## Example, computing the dimensions:
 *
 * \code
 * // We create a message that we put on the center of the screen.
 * struct message msg = {
 *     .text = {
 *         "Hi, have you tried turning it off and on again?"
 *     }
 * };
 *
 * message_query(&msg, &msg.w, &msg.h);
 * align(ALIGN_CENTER, &msg.x, &msg.y, msg.w, msg.h, 0, 0, window.w, window.h);
 * \endcode
