Guide to adding OOP to SplashKit tutorials

Adding OOP and Top Level C# to Splashkit Tutorials

One of the current goals of the SplashKit team is to enhance the tutorials by including both top-level statement and object-oriented (OOP) versions of C# programs. This guide outlines how to effectively integrate OOP into the existing tutorials, providing both options for users to choose from.

The Full Code Block Structure

The full code block structure for C++, C# in top level and OOP, and Python is as follows:

<Tabs syncKey="code-language">
<TabItem label="C++">

```cpp

Add C++ code here

```

</TabItem>
<TabItem label="C#">
<Tabs syncKey="csharp-style">
<TabItem label="Top-level Statements">

```csharp

Add top-level statement version of C# code here

```

</TabItem>
<TabItem label="Object-Oriented">

```csharp

Add OOP version of C# code here

```

</TabItem>
</Tabs>
</TabItem>
<TabItem label="Python">

```python

Add Python code here

```

</TabItem>
</Tabs>

This is the new standard structure for all Splashkit tutorials. The C# code block has been replaced with a tabs component that contains two tabs, one for top-level statements and one for object-oriented programming.

Adding OOP to the Splashkit tutorials

If you are adding OOP to the Splashkit tutorials, you will need to replace the C# section with the following code block in order to have both top-level statements and object-oriented programming options:

<Tabs syncKey="csharp-style">
<TabItem label="Top-level Statements">

```csharp

Add top-level statement version of C# code here

```

</TabItem>
<TabItem label="Object-Oriented">

```csharp

Add OOP version of C# code here

```

</TabItem>
</Tabs>

Example

Once done, the view of the code blocks will remain the same on the Splashkit site. However, once clicking on the C# tab, the user will be able to see both the top-level statements and object-oriented programming versions of the code.

C++

#include "splashkit.h"

int main()
{
    string name;  // declare a variable to store the name
    string quest; // and another to store a quest

    write("What is your name: "); // prompt the user for input
    name = read_line();           // read user input

    // read in another value
    write("And what is your quest? ");
    quest = read_line();

    write_line(name + "'s quest is: " + quest); // output quest to the terminal

    return 0;
}

C#

Top-level Statements

using static SplashKitSDK.SplashKit;

string name;    // declare a variable to store the name
string quest;   // and another to store a quest

Write("What is your name: ");  // prompt the user for input
name = ReadLine();             // read user input

// Read in another value
Write("And what is your quest? ");
quest = ReadLine();

WriteLine(name + "'s quest is: " + quest); // output quest to the terminal

Object-Oriented

using SplashKitSDK;

namespace ReadingText
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            string name;    // declare a variable to store the name
            string quest;   // and another to store a quest

            SplashKit.Write("What is your name: ");  // prompt the user for input
            name = SplashKit.ReadLine();             // read user input

            // Read in another value
            SplashKit.Write("And what is your quest? ");
            quest = SplashKit.ReadLine();

            SplashKit.WriteLine(name + "'s quest is: " + quest); // output quest to the terminal
        }
    }
}

Python

from splashkit import *

write("What is your name: ") # prompt the user for input
name = read_line()           # read user input

# Read in another value
write("And what is your quest? ")
quest = read_line()

write_line(name + "'s quest is: " + quest) # output quest to the terminal
