GUI extension for the Python game library Arcade https://arcade.academy/

GUI Library for Python Arcade

This project targets to offer simple to complex ui elements to use in games and software written with the Python Arcade library.

Some UI components were copied over to adjust and fix them.

This project could also end up in a PR to integrate within Arcade.

Basic Components

UIView

Central class to manager the ui components. Converts on_ callback functions into events, so that UIElements just have to contain one method to interact with user input.

UIElement

A general interface of an UI element.

Examples

• UILabel
