silky-smooth

Experimental graphics primitives written in Silk.

Early work toward a small, explicit design/graphics library: pixels, frame buffers, simple rendering, and the surrounding infrastructure needed to grow it.

Status

Very early. Currently exploring:

• Bit-packed Pixel (RGBA)
• Frame buffers
• PPM (P3) output
• Ownership-friendly writers and format helpers
• Basic geometry and conversion traits (From / Into)
• Filesystem usage for writing results

This is primarily a learning and experimentation project while the Silk language and its standard library evolve.

Layout

src/
  buffer/          # Pixel + FrameBuffer
  geom/            # Basic geometry
  lib/             # Shared helpers (writers, formatting, defaults…)
  main.silk

Running

From the project root (the directory containing silk.toml):

silk test
# or
silk test --file src/buffer/frame_buffer.silk

Output files (e.g. PPM) are written relative to the current working directory.

Goals (near-term)

• Solid, ownership-correct pixel and buffer primitives
• Clean test surface for visual output
• Simple path from buffer → file
• Keep everything explicit (no hidden allocation or ambient I/O)
