# AdvChkSys Python Bindings

These bindings allow you to use the AdvChkSys C# chunk system from Python via [pythonnet](https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet).

## Requirements

- .NET 6.0+ or .NET Core 3.1+ (to build AdvChkSys)
- Python 3.8+
- `pythonnet` (`pip install pythonnet`)

## Usage

1. **Build the AdvChkSys C# library** (DLL must be present in `src/AdvChkSys/bin/Debug/netstandard2.1/AdvChkSys.dll`).

2. **Install pythonnet:**
   ```bash
   pip install pythonnet
   ```

3. **Use the bindings in Python:**
   ```python
   from advchksys import get_version, create_2d_manager, create_constraints

   print("AdvChkSys version:", get_version())

   constraints = create_constraints(min_x=0, max_x=10, min_y=0, max_y=10, max_loaded=100)
   manager = create_2d_manager(constraints)
   chunk = manager.LoadOrCreateChunk(1, 1, 16, 16)
   chunk[0, 0] = 42
   print("Chunk value at (0,0):", chunk[0, 0])
   ```

## Notes

- You can access all public methods and properties of the C# classes.
- For advanced usage, see the [pythonnet documentation](https://pythonnet.github.io/pythonnet/).
