This is part of my ongoing effort to simplify the text rendering pipeline. My ultimate goal is to: * get rid of renders * rename formatters to renderers * make the interface complies to both All details are specified here: https://github.com/flame-engine/flame/pull/2663 As a first step to break down that huge PR, this makes a small change to TextElements to make them more useful This PR will: ### rename render -> draw draw becomes the "internal", underlying impl, raw method, that just draws the element w/ any custom options ### add a new render method that takes in more options this does not need to be extended by every impl. this is for end users and accepts parameters like position and anchor to be more in line with the renderer interface This is technically a breaking change but should have no effect for users, unless you are creating your own custom `TextElement`s. In that case, to migrate: * rename your `render` method to `draw`

Features
The goal of the Flame Engine is to provide a complete set of out-of-the-way solutions for common problems that games developed with Flutter might share.
Some of the key features provided are:
- A game loop.
- A component/object system (FCS).
- Effects and particles.
- Collision detection.
- Gesture and input handling.
- Images, animations, sprites, and sprite sheets.
- General utilities to make development easier.
On top of those features, you can augment Flame with bridge packages. Through these libraries, you will be able to access bindings to other packages, including custom Flame components and helpers, in order to make integrations seamless.
Flame officially provides bridge libraries to the following packages:
- flame_audio for AudioPlayers: Play multiple audio files simultaneously.
- flame_bloc for Bloc: A predictable state management library.
- flame_fire_atlas for FireAtlas: Create texture atlases for games.
- flame_forge2d for Forge2D: A Box2D physics engine.
