Hi there,

Is it possible to draw primitive shapes easily in GameEngine2D? Rects, circles, lines?

Cheers!

Hi CeeBee2012,

Thanks for your question. Unfortunatley there are no GE2D Nodes that will help you to achieve this, however GE2D has some DrawHelpers which may help you to achieve what you are after. An example of using the DrawHelpers are below. 

ge_scene.AdHocDraw += () => 
{
	Director.Instance.DrawHelpers.DrawLineSegment(new Vector2(100, 100), new Vector2(500, 500));
};

You should be aware however that DrawHelpers should be used only for debugging purposes as they are not geared for performance. 

Hope this helps.

I've used the posted code but can't get it to work.

Everything compiles normally, and if I do a lot of these calls in the update loop I even notice lag, but I can't see any of the primitives I'm drawing.

Any guess as to what I'm doing wrong?
