Project description

EasyPygameWidgets

An easy-to-use UI widget library for pygame, featuring customizable buttons, sliders, text entries, screen management and much more.

Features

  • easy integration: seamlessly works with existing pygame projects
  • customizable widgets: nearly infinite styling options for colors, sounds, cursors, and more
  • screen management: built-in screen system for creating different GUIs

Installation

Windows

pip install easypygamewidgets

Linux/macOS

python3 -m pip install easypygamewidgets

Quick Start

import pygame
import easypygamewidgets as epw

pygame.init()
window = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
clock = pygame.time.Clock()

# link the pygame window
epw.link_pygame_window(window)

# create a screen (optional)
screen = epw.Screen()

# create a button
button = epw.Button(screen=screen, text="Click Me!", width=200, height=50)
button.place(300, 250)

# create a slider
slider = epw.Slider(screen=screen, text="Volume", start=0, end=100, width=300)
slider.place(250, 350)

# create a text entry
entry = epw.Entry(screen=screen, text="Type here...", width=250)
entry.place(275, 450)

# main game loop
running = True
while running:
    window.fill((30, 30, 30))
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            running = False

        # handle widget events
        epw.handle_event(event)

    # handle special widget events
    epw.handle_special_events()

    # draw all widgets
    epw.flip()

    pygame.display.update()
    clock.tick(60)

pygame.quit()

Widgets Documentation

All examples will use the same start template code.

Screen

A container for managing groups of widgets with shared visibility and state.

example code

Button

A customizable button widget to run commands when interacted.

example code

Slider

A slider for selecting values within a specific range.

example code

Entry

A text entry with selection and clipboard support.

example code

Label

A text display that can be used to drag it into places or show text.

example code

Surface (images etc.)

This converts your pygame surfaces into an easypygamewidgets widget that can be used in screens. (All pygame surface commands can be applied to the "surface" attribute of your widget.)

example code

Timekeeper

A text display that can show a timer or stopwatch.

example code

Module Functions

Core Functions

# link your pygame window (required before using widgets)
epw.link_pygame_window(pygame_window)

# handle pygame events (call in event loop)
epw.handle_event(pygame_event)

# handle special events (call outside event loop)
epw.handle_special_events()

# draw all widgets to the linked window
epw.flip()

Examples (COMING SOON)

Check the examples directory for complete working examples:

  1. all widgets example - simple demo of all widgets
  2. screens with animations - multiple screens with transitions
  3. settings screen - interactive settings panel with sliders
  4. login form - form with entries and validation
  5. bindings - binding events to widgets

Requirements

  • python
  • pygame
  • requests (for update checking in background once)

I recommend using the latest version of libraries.
