- <h1>Primitives Sample</h1>
- This sample shows you how to extend the Spacewar <b>VectorShape</b> code to create <b>PrimitiveBatch</b>. This enables you to easily draw points, lines, and triangles on the screen.

-
- <p>The Spacewar Windows Starter Kit (2.0) includes a retro mode. The retro mode does all of its drawing with points and lines. This sample shows how you can extend the Spacewar <b>VectorShape</b> code to create <b>PrimitiveBatch</b>, which enables you to easily draw points, lines, and triangles on the screen. Such functionality can be useful, not only for drawing your game, but also for debugging.</p>

-
- <p>The Spacewar <b>VectorShape</b> code is designed to draw shapes that are set up once, and then not modified throughout the game. However, it is not the easiest component with which to work. For debugging purposes, you may sometimes want to draw arbitrary primitives, without the overhead of setting up a <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.graphics.vertexbuffer.aspx">VertexBuffer</a> object.</p>
-
- <p><b>PrimitiveBatch</b> solves this problem by creating an abstraction layer that sits on top of <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb196411.aspx">GraphicsDevice.DrawUserPrimitives</a>. To minimize shader changes and the number of draw calls issued, <b>PrimitiveBatch</b>, like <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.graphics.spritebatch.aspx">SpriteBatch</a>, follows a <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.graphics.spritebatch.begin.aspx">Begin</a>/<a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.graphics.spritebatch.end.aspx">End</a> pattern. When a user wants to draw using <b>PrimitiveBatch</b>, the user should first call <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.graphics.spritebatch.begin.aspx">Begin</a>, call <b>AddVertex</b> the appropriate number of times, and then <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.graphics.spritebatch.end.aspx">End</a>.</p>
- <p>Internally, <b>PrimitiveBatch</b> maintains an array of vertices, and an index into that array. <b>AddVertex</b> uses this information to fill the array. If there is not enough room in the array, <b>Flush</b> is called. This submits the draw call to the graphics card and resets the array index to zero. Once this is done, copying can resume, starting over at zero.</p>
-
- <p>The main <b>Game</b> class for the sample shows how to use <b>PrimitiveBatch</b> by drawing a scene from Spacewar.</p>
