straightedge

Description

Give me a compass and straightedge and I will conquer the world

Geometry primitives and graphical app (game) framework framework.

Features

* Geometry toolkit 
  - extensible Compass
  - Ruler (for measuring distances)

* Figures composed of points called Marks
  - Line
  - Quadrilateral
  - Hexagon

* Some fledgling support for grids

* Some reactor-pattern framework platform components
  to help standardize interfaces (see straightedge-gosu
  and straightedge-canvas for examples)

Examples

require 'straightedge'

# you need an adapter to actually render something
require 'straightedge-gosu'

class Example::GameController < Straightedge::Director
  def current_scene
    {
  [200,300] => Quadrilateral.new(dimensions: [200,100], color: :green),
  [200,305] => "rectangle",

  [400,300] => Hexagon.new(scale: 40.0, color: :blue),
  [400,305] => "hexagon"
}
  end
end

Requirements

Ruby 2.x should be enough

Install

$ gem install straightedge

Synopsis

Eventually it would be nice to support a CLI that wraps around tasks (note: not implemented yet)

$ straightedge create [app] — builds an example app skeleton
$ straightedge serve — stands up a canvas webserver
$ straightedge play  — connects to local instance or plays through OpenGL adapter… etc
