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

# link the pygame window
epw.link_pygame_window(window)

# create a button
button = epw.Button(text="Click Me!")
button.place(300, 100)

# create a slider
slider = epw.Slider(text="Volume", start=0, end=100, auto_size=False, width=300)
slider.place(300, 200)

# create a text entry
entry = epw.Entry(placeholder_text="Type here...", auto_size=False, width=250)
entry.place(300, 400)


def draw():
   window.fill((30, 30, 30))


# main game loop
running = True
while running:
    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(draw)

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

pygame.quit()
