Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Create Drawing Text and Shapes in SplashKit

Created a beginner-friendly tutorial explaining how to draw text and basic shapes using SplashKit in C++. Covers usage of DrawText, FillRectangle, FillCircle, and DrawLine functions.

This tutorial is useful for building simple menus, HUD elements, or interface screens in SplashKit-based games.

Includes syntax explanations and a full working example.

+**Parameters:**
+- `"Hello, SplashKit!"` – the text
+- `COLOR_WHITE` – the text color
+- `"Arial"` – the font (must be loaded first)
+- `24` – font size
+- `100, 100` – X and Y position on screen

+## ⏹️ Drawing Shapes
+
+### 1. Rectangle
+
+```cpp
+FillRectangle(COLOR_RED, 50, 150, 200, 100);
+```
+
+This draws a **filled red rectangle** at `(50,150)` with width `200` and height `100`.
+
+To draw just the outline:
+
+```cpp
+DrawRectangle(COLOR_BLACK, 50, 150, 200, 100);
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Circle
+
+```cpp
+FillCircle(COLOR_BLUE, 300, 300, 50);
+```
+
+This draws a **filled blue circle** at `(300,300)` with a radius of `50`.
+
+---
+
+### 3. Line
+
+```cpp
+DrawLine(COLOR_GREEN, 100, 400, 300, 400);
+```
+
+This draws a green horizontal line from `(100,400)` to `(300,400)`.
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Full Example
+
+```cpp
+#include "splashkit.h"
+
+int main()
+{
+    OpenWindow("Drawing Demo", 640, 480);
+
+    LoadFont("Arial", "arial.ttf");
+
+    while (!WindowCloseRequested("Drawing Demo"))
+    {
+        ClearScreen(COLOR_WHITE);
+
+        // Draw Text
+        DrawText("Main Menu", COLOR_BLACK, "Arial", 32, 220, 30);
+
+        // Draw Shapes
+        FillRectangle(COLOR_RED, 100, 100, 150, 80); // Play Button
+        DrawText("Play", COLOR_WHITE, "Arial", 24, 140, 130);
+
+        FillRectangle(COLOR_GRAY, 100, 200, 150, 80); // Exit Button
+        DrawText("Exit", COLOR_BLACK, "Arial", 24, 140, 230);
+
+        // Draw Line
+        DrawLine(COLOR_BLACK, 0, 300, 640, 300);
+
+        RefreshScreen(60);
+    }
+
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Tips
+
+- Use `ClearScreen()` before drawing each frame
+- Use `RefreshScreen(FPS)` to control rendering speed
+- Organize drawing functions into reusable parts (e.g., `DrawMainMenu()`)
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Summary
+
+With just a few simple functions, you can create functional and visually clear interfaces using SplashKit. Mastering text and shape drawing is an essential first step toward building full UI screens in your games or apps.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Bonus: Try This Next
+
+- Add mouse input to detect clicks on your rectangles
+- Use different fonts and text alignment
+- Build a basic title screen or pause menu using these techniques
