Ara-core 1.0.0

Lightweight minimalistic Ara framework

Ara_core

Ara.Core is a lightweight Python framework for building interactive applications with GLFW. It provides an easy way to manage windows, handle input, integrate modules, and run the main loop with logging and error handling out of the box.

---

Features

Window Management – Create and control an OpenGL context window.

Input Handling – High-level API for keyboard and mouse state:

pressed, down, and up queries for keys and mouse buttons

Cursor locking, movement delta, and scroll tracking

Module System – Plug in custom modules with lifecycle methods:

init(), process_input(), render(), update(), terminate()

Timing Utilities – Frame delta (dt), elapsed time, and FPS measurement.

Logging – Integrated logging system with configurable levels.

Callbacks – Flexible frame_ui, callback, and terminate hooks in the main loop.

Quick Start

from ara_core import App

# Create application instance
app = App(title="My First App", width=1280, height=720, log_level="info")

def frame_ui(app):
    print("UI frame")

def callback(app):
    print(f"Frame time: {app.dt()}")

def terminate(app):
    print("Cleanup done!")

# Run with custom callbacks
app.run(frame_ui, callback, terminate)

---

Input API

app.key_pressed("w")      # True while 'W' is held
app.key_down("space")     # True only on the frame space was pressed
app.key_up("escape")      # True only on the frame escape was released

app.mouse_button_pressed("left")
pos = app.get_mouse_pos()
dx, dy = app.get_mouse_delta()
scroll = app.get_mouse_scroll()

---

Module System

Modules can be classes or instances. They may implement any of the lifecycle methods:

class ExampleModule:
    def __init__(self, app): self.app = app
    def init(self): print("Module initialized")
    def process_input(self): pass
    def render(self): pass
    def update(self): pass
    def terminate(self): print("Module terminated")

app.add_module(ExampleModule)

---

Utilities

app.close() – close the window

app.time() – elapsed time since start

app.dt() – delta time of last frame

app.fps() – current frames per second

---
