SharpBox Graphics Framework

SharpBox is a lightweight 2D graphics framework built on SFML. It provides an intuitive interface for drawing points, shapes, lines, grids, and text, making it ideal for educational projects, prototypes, and graphical visualizations.

Features

• Flexible Primitives: Easily add points, lines, rectangles, circles, and grids.
• Text Rendering: Display custom text with any TrueType font.
• Grid Overlay: Visualize your space with minor and major grid lines.
• Simple API: Minimal setup required to start rendering.

Getting Started

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/CodeHaks/SharpBox.git

2. Add the SFML.Graphics NuGet package to your project. If you don't have SFML installed, follow the installation guide for your platform.

Usage

Create a Plane and Add Elements

using SharpBox.Core;
using SFML.Graphics;
using SFML.System;

var plane = new Plane(800, 600, "SharpBox Demo");

// Add a grid for reference
plane.AddGrid(20, 100, new Color(50, 50, 50), new Color(150, 150, 150));

// Add some shapes and lines
plane.AddPoint(0, 0, Color.Red);
plane.AddCircle(100, 100, 50, Color.Green);
plane.AddRectangle(200, 200, 150, 100, Color.Blue);
plane.AddLine(new Position(0, 0), new Position(300, 300), Color.Yellow);

// Add text
string fontPath = "arial.ttf"; // Path to the .ttf font file
plane.AddText("Hello, SFML!", new Position(0, 0), 24, Color.White, fontPath);

// Start rendering
plane.Run();

Project Structure

• SharpBox.Core: Core logic for managing the window, drawing shapes, and rendering.
• Position.cs: Helper class for converting coordinate positions to SFML's 2D vector.
• Plane.cs: Main class for managing and drawing graphical elements.
• README.md: Documentation for the project.
