BZFlag Rendering

A PHP 7.1+ package for drawing BZFlag related things such as map thumbnails; this is a sister project to bzflag-networking.php.

Installation

This package can be installed via Composer.

composer require allejo/bzflag-rendering.php

Usage

This library currently supports exporting maps as SVGs or PNGs. Using the WorldRenderer class, you can give it a WorldDatabase instance from version 1.1+ of bzflag-networking.php.

// use allejo\bzflag\graphics\PNG\Radar\WorldRenderer;
use allejo\bzflag\graphics\SVG\Radar\WorldRenderer;
use allejo\bzflag\replays\Replay;

$replay = new Replay('official-match.rec');
$world = $replay->getHeader()->getWorldDatabase();

$renderer = new WorldRenderer($world);

echo $renderer->writeToFile("thumbnail.svg");
