This page explains how to run Graphite, use command-line flags, and work with scripts.

---

## Running Graphite
Run the application from your terminal:
```bash
Graphite <flags> <path>
```
Example:
```bash
Graphite -i ./
```

---

## Flags
- `-h` / `--help`: Show help
- `-i` / `--init`: Initialize default files
- `-s` / `--sandbox`: Enable sandbox mode
- `-v` / `-d` / `--verbose` / `--debug`: Enable verbose/debug output

---

## Script Workflow
1. Edit `Graphite.cpp` to write or modify your script
2. Run Graphite to see your changes
3. Use sandbox mode (`-s`) for safer editing
4. Use verbose mode (`-v`) for debugging output

---

## Path Argument
The last argument sets the working directory or filename. If a filename is specified, a directory is created instead.

---

## Tips
- Always implement `Init`, `Update`, `Draw`, and `Destroy` in your script
- Use the math library for points and geometry
- See `Examples.md` for sample scripts
