Point Class — Single Console Cell Drawing API Reference

Point is the fundamental rendering primitive in Fazen2d. It draws exactly one character cell at position (x, y) in the ConsoleHandler back-buffer using a caller-supplied ConsoleColor and Unicode character code. All other shapes — Line, Box, and Circle — are built internally from individual Point draws, making it the foundation of the entire graphics system.

#include "include/headers/Point.h"

Constructor

explicit Point(float x, float y, short color, short character = 0x2588);

float

required

Horizontal position in console columns. Truncated to int on each draw() call. Valid range: 1 < x < ConsoleHandler::GetConsoleWidth() - 1.

float

required

Vertical position in console rows. Truncated to int on each draw() call. Valid range: 1 < y < ConsoleHandler::GetConsoleHeight() - 1.

color

short

required

A ConsoleColor enum value (e.g. greenF, redF, whiteF) that sets the Windows console foreground attribute for the cell.

character

short

default:"0x2588"

Unicode code point written into the cell’s Char.UnicodeChar field. The default 0x2588 (█) produces a solid filled block. Pass any valid wchar_t-range code point for custom characters (e.g. 0x2605 for ★).

Methods

Method	Returns	Description
`draw()`	`void`	Writes `character` and `color` into the back-buffer cell at `(int(x), int(y))`. Silently skips the draw if `x` or `y` falls outside the safe margin (`> 1` and `< dimension - 1`).
`translate(float dx, float dy)`	`void`	Computes `nx = x + dx`, `ny = y + dy` and applies the offset only if the new position is fully within `[0, consoleWidth)` × `[0, consoleHeight)`. No-ops on out-of-bounds moves.
`setPosX(float x)`	`void`	Sets the X position directly, bypassing bounds checking.
`getPosX()`	`float`	Returns the current X position.
`setPosY(float y)`	`void`	Sets the Y position directly, bypassing bounds checking.
`getPosY()`	`float`	Returns the current Y position.
`setColor(short color)`	`void`	Replaces the color attribute used on the next `draw()` call.
`getColor()`	`float`	Returns the current color attribute as a `float`.
`setCharacter(short character)`	`void`	Replaces the Unicode character written on the next `draw()` call.
`getCharacter()`	`float`	Returns the current character code as a `float`.

Example

#include "include/headers/Fazen.h"

Point dot(10.0f, 5.0f, greenF);            // green filled square (█) at (10, 5)
Point star(20.0f, 10.0f, yellowF, 0x2605); // yellow ★ at (20, 10)

// Inside the game loop:
game.graphics.draw(dot);
game.graphics.draw(star);

// Move dot one cell to the right each frame:
dot.translate(1.0f, 0.0f);
