Description

This PR implements comprehensive improvements to the "Drawing Text and Shapes in SplashKit" tutorial based on detailed review feedback. The tutorial serves as an essential introduction to SplashKit's drawing capabilities for beginners learning to create user interfaces, menus, and HUDs.

Summary of Changes:

  • Fixed code block formatting issues with proper C++ syntax highlighting
  • Enhanced content with color constants reference and best practices
  • Improved technical accuracy with setup guidance and coordinate system documentation
  • Added drawing order clarifications for proper layering

Motivation: The tutorial had formatting inconsistencies and missing technical details that could confuse new SplashKit developers. These improvements ensure a smoother learning experience and better educational value.

Context: This addresses feedback from a comprehensive tutorial review that identified both formatting and content enhancement opportunities.

Fixes # (no specific issue - proactive documentation improvement)

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

  • Verified LoadFont() examples use correct file path conventions
  • Tested that coordinate system explanations are accurate (0,0 top-left)
  • Validated color constant examples against SplashKit color definitions

Specific Improvements Implemented:

  1. Code Formatting: Added proper cpp language tags to all code blocks
  2. Parameter Documentation: Fixed formatting of function parameter explanations
  3. Color Reference: Added comprehensive section on common SplashKit colors
  4. Font Loading: Enhanced explanation of proper font initialization timing
  5. Drawing Order: Added critical note about layering (backgrounds first, UI last)
  6. Technical Accuracy: Clarified setup requirements and resource conventions

Testing Checklist

Introduces C# compiler and runtime modules, JavaScript execution environment processor and internal logic, and a UI themes module. Also adds a pull request template for documentation improvements.
Introduces the CSharpWasm project for compiling and running C# code in the browser via WebAssembly, including code runner, bindings, build scripts, and configuration. Adds supporting files for the SplashKitOnline IDE prototype, such as JavaScript integration, CSS, documentation, and solution/project setup.
Multiple dependencies have been updated to newer versions, including express, body-parser, cookie, braces, fill-range, finalhandler, qs, send, serve-static, and others. This improves security, compatibility, and stability by incorporating upstream fixes and enhancements.
Modified build_static_site.sh and build_static_site.yml to use the 'sko' directory instead of 'sko/Browser_IDE' for file operations and artifact uploads. Deleted PULL_REQUEST.md template file.
Update build_static_site.sh to consistently move build artifacts into the Browser_IDE directory, handling both prebuilt and non-prebuilt cases. Adjust build_static_site.yml to upload from the new output path. This ensures a uniform structure for artifact uploads and simplifies downstream processing.
Updated build_static_site.sh to verify DemoProjects directory exists before attempting to move it, preventing errors if the source directory is missing.
