> A Python wrapper around SFML via C# (SFML.NET) and pythonnet.  
> Write 2D games in Python — with the performance of native C++.

```
Python → pysfml → pysfmllib.dll (C# / SFML.NET) → csfml → SFML (C++)
```

## Requirements

| Dependency | Version               |
| ---------- | --------------------- |
| Python     | 3.10+                 |
| pythonnet  | 3.x                   |
| .NET       | 6+ (coreclr)          |
| SFML       | 2.6.x / 3.x           |
| SFML.NET   | matching SFML version |

---

## Installation

```bash
pip install pysfml-net
```

> **pysfml-net installs only the Python wrapper.**  
> You must place the following DLLs in the same folder as your script:

```
csfml-system.dll
csfml-window.dll
csfml-graphics.dll
csfml-audio.dll
sfml-system-3.dll     (or sfml-system-2.dll depending on your SFML version)
sfml-window-3.dll
sfml-graphics-3.dll
sfml-audio-3.dll
```

Download SFML from [sfml-dev.org](https://www.sfml-dev.org/download.php) — make sure the bitness matches your Python (x64).

## Quick Start

```python
from pysfml import Window, Sprite, Label

win = Window(800, 600, "My Game")
win.set_framerate_limit(60)

player = Sprite(48, 48)
player.load_texture("assets/player.png")
player.set_position(100, 270)

label = Label("assets/font.ttf", 24)
label.set_text("Score: 0")
label.set_position(16, 12)
label.set_color(255, 255, 255)

while win.is_open():
    win.dispatch_events()

    if win.is_key_pressed("Escape"):
      win.close()

    win.clear()
    player.draw(win)
    label.draw(win)
    win.display()
```

## Movement with delta time

Always multiply velocity by `get_delta_time()` so movement stays consistent at any framerate.

```python
from pysfml import Window, Sprite

win = Window(800, 600, "Movement")
win.set_framerate_limit(60)

player = Sprite(48, 48)
player.set_fill_color(255, 100, 100)

x, y = 400.0, 300.0
SPEED = 250.0

while win.is_open():
  win.dispatch_events()
  dt = win.get_delta_time()

  if win.is_key_pressed("Escape"):
    win.close()

  if win.is_key_pressed("Left"): x -= SPEED * dt
  if win.is_key_pressed("Right"): x += SPEED * dt
  if win.is_key_pressed("Up"): y -= SPEED * dt
  if win.is_key_pressed("Down"): y += SPEED * dt

  player.set_position(x, y)

  win.clear()
  player.draw(win)
  win.display()
```

---

## Camera follow

```python
from pysfml import Camera

cam = Camera(400, 300, 800, 600)
cam_x, cam_y = 400.0, 300.0
LERP  = 5.0   # smoothing — higher = snappier

while win.is_open():
  ...
  px, py = player.get_position()

  # smooth follow
  cam_x += (px - cam_x) * LERP * dt
  cam_y += (py - cam_y) * LERP * dt
  cam.set_center(cam_x, cam_y)

  win.clear()
  win.set_view(cam)
  player.draw(win)
  win.display()
```

---

## Spritesheet animation

```python
FRAME_W, FRAME_H = 64, 64
FRAME_COUNT = 8
FRAME_DURATION = 0.1 # seconds per frame

hero = Sprite(FRAME_W, FRAME_H)
hero.load_texture("assets/run.png")

frame = 0
elapsed = 0.0

while win.is_open():
  dt = win.get_delta_time()
  elapsed += dt

  if elapsed >= FRAME_DURATION:
    elapsed -= FRAME_DURATION
    frame = (frame + 1) % FRAME_COUNT

  hero.set_texture_sprite(frame * FRAME_W, 0, FRAME_W, FRAME_H)

  win.clear()
  hero.draw(win)
  win.display()
```

## Troubleshooting

**`Failed to load SFML assemblies`**  
All DLLs must be in the same folder as your script. Run from that folder:

```bash
cd your_game
python main.py
```

**`Failed to activate OpenGL context`**  
Install [Visual C++ Redistributable x64](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe).

**Texture loads but sprite is white / wrong color**  
Call `set_fill_color(255, 255, 255)` after `load_texture()` to remove any tint.

**`get_bounds()` returns `None`**  
`get_bounds()` requires the label to be drawn at least once first. Call `draw(win)` before reading bounds.

**Wrong bitness error**  
Check your Python bitness:

```python
import struct; print(struct.calcsize("P") * 8)  # should be 64
```

All DLLs must match (all x64 or all x32).
