arcade-gui 0.1.0a8

Experimental components that could migrate into arcade.

GUI Library for Python Arcade

This library contained a first draft of GUI components for arcade game library. These components are now fully integrated into python arcade.

Experimental GUI Components

Starting with the version 0.2.0 all components that are included in arcade will be removed.

Starting with version 0.2.0 this library will contain experimental components, that could move into the arcade standard. Consider them as alpha, so breaking changes could happen in every version update.

Basic Components until version 0.1.0

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.
