Add a sample game_config.json and multiple usage examples demonstrating reading/writing a game configuration from JSON. Files added: json/game_config.json, examples in C#, C# (OOP), C++, Python, and a short .txt explanation. Each example shows creating a JSON config, saving to file, loading it with json_from_file, extracting gameTitle, windowWidth/Height and backgroundColor, applying those settings to open a window and display values, and cleaning up resources.
Add a new usage example image for the JSON `json_from_file` example at public/usage-examples/json/json_from_file-1-example.png to support documentation and visual reference.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nice example - loading game settings from JSON is a really useful idea and easy to follow.
Just a few small things to fix before it can be merged:
The C# top-level file is named json_from_file-1-example.cs, but it should use the -top-level.cs naming
The C# OOP file needs a proper namespace wrapper
The .txt file has multiple lines, but it should just be a short one-line title
The json/game_config.json file might not need to be included since the example creates it itself
Also, open_audio() and close_audio() don’t seem needed here since no audio is used
Can you also confirm if usage-example-references.json has been updated?
Once these are fixed, it should be good to go 👍

Description
Splashkit Function:
json_from_fileOverview of example functionality: This example demonstrates how to create a JSON data structure containing game configuration settings (such as window dimensions, game title, and RGB background color), save the data to a file using
json_to_file, and then read it back usingjson_from_file. The retrieved values are successfully extracted usingjson_read_stringandjson_read_number, and then applied to configure and draw a SplashKit window.Example Output:
