0.6.0-beta

Big Changes to Project Structure

The basis of this repository was built on an upgraded local project when my internet was out for a month ages ago, as a result the project name was "SFML-GE local deps" and stayed that way for almost a year despite the namespace not even remotely matching

This release changes the structure of the repository to fix that, and also switches it to a class library and now includes a tests folder that uses MSTests to, well test stuff.

Changes:

• Tests: Some basic tests have been added to validate that any changes made don't break stuff and are release ready
• Namespaces: SFML_Game_Engine changed to SFML_GE
• Publicity changes: Now that this is in its own proper package, lots of functions that shouldn't be called by the end user are now properly under the internal access modifier, such as AudioManager RenderManager ect..
• More Documentation: lots of undocumented classes got that fixed, and so did many undocumented properties and methods
• Camera fixes: camera bounds were not aligned properly due to that 3am coding i did when making them awhile ago
• Mouse position fixes: due to Scene getting its own shader layer, the app view was sometimes reset to default, and Scene.GetMouseWorldPosition() wouldn't work correctly and return the screen position always, this has been fixed.
• more I'm forgetting: Its hard to see exactly everything that's changed, since its all in a new folder.

This should be the last time a big file structure change like this is made, i have no plans to migrate the namespace name again.

NuGet versions will also have an extra 0 on them, so 0.6.0 will be 0.60.0 on NuGet.
I also biffed up tags in the process of this all, shouldn't happen again!

As always, the template is attached below.

v0.5.0-beta

The beta version of v0.5.0,

Contains the new GUI system, RichText, and many other small fixes/changes

The most notable commits in this version are:
eb4a64f
7eb053f
ea02300

Skipping to 0.5 due to the many changes to names and methods that would break older versions, such as ZOrder moved to gameObject, naming conventions that weren't followed in the previous version, and the GUI rewrite.

The attached ZIP is a Template for Visual Studio 2022, you can add it to:
