πŸ“¦ SFML.Game.Framework.ContentBuilder

SFML.Game.Framework.ContentBuilder is a lightweight asset packaging and loading system
designed to work seamlessly with SFML.Game.Framework.

It allows developers to bundle, compress, and efficiently load game assets using a single .as (ASSETBIN) file format β€” making your game’s content pipeline faster, cleaner, and easier to manage.

πŸš€ Overview

This tool is part of the SFML.Game.Framework ecosystem and provides two core components:

  1. Asset Builder (ContentBuilder) β€” Combines multiple assets (textures, sounds, fonts, etc.) into a single .as binary file.
  2. Runtime Reader (ContentPipelineReader) β€” Efficiently reads and retrieves individual assets from the packaged file at runtime.

πŸ“ The ASSETBIN Format (.as)

The .as (ASSETBIN) file is a custom binary format that stores multiple game assets in a compact structure.

🧱 File Structure

Each .as file contains: | Section | Description | |----------|--------------| | Header | "ASSETBIN" identifier and version byte | | File Table | Asset names, lengths, and data offsets | | Asset Data | The raw binary data for each asset |

This ensures fast lookup times and minimal I/O overhead when loading content at runtime.

βš™οΈ Features

πŸ“¦ ContentBuilder

  • Combines multiple files (textures, sounds, shaders, etc.) into a single .as file.
  • Generates a compact binary table of contents for instant asset lookup.
  • Reduces file I/O operations and loading time.
  • Ideal for shipping games β€” prevents direct access to loose asset files.
  • Cross-platform compatible (Windows / Linux / macOS).

🧠 ContentPipelineReader

  • Provides an API for reading assets from the .as archive.
  • Can load individual assets directly into memory as byte arrays.
  • Includes validation and version checking.
  • Integrates seamlessly with SFML.Game.Framework.ContentManager.
// Load a .as content package
var content = new ContentPipelineReader("Assets/game_content.as");

// Retrieve a texture by name
byte[] textureBytes = content.GetByName("player");

// Convert to SFML texture
var texture = new Texture(textureBytes);
