Description

Currently, setting up sf::Text elements requires multiple repetitive lines of code for each instance: This pattern appears in multiple places, leading to code duplication and reduced readability.

Introduce a utility method or builder-style class to simplify and standardize the creation of sf::Text objects. This could be done using:

  • A standalone createText(...) helper function that accepts font, string, size, position, and optional color.
  • A TextBuilder class implementing a fluent interface for configuring text objects.

Priority: Low
