✨ Features

• ✅ Decorator-based event binding
• ✅ Enum-based key recognition (A–Z, arrows, Enter, Escape, etc.)
• ✅ Clean and extensible architecture
• ✅ Simple GUI rendering using tkinter

@app.event(type=EventType.Key.A)
def handle_a():
    print("Key A pressed!")

@app.event(type=EventType.Key.ESCAPE)
def handle_escape():
    print("Escape pressed!")
    screen.quit()

screen = Screen(app, title="My InGame App", width=600, height=400)

screen.set_resize(True, True)

hello_text = Text(screen, text="Hello!")
Button(screen, text="Click me", command=hello_text.destroy)

ht_input = Input(screen, packargs={"pady": 10})

def ht_click() -> None:
    print(ht_input.get())

Button(screen, text="Print input value", command=ht_click, packargs={"pady": 10})

Handles registering and triggering events:

• @event(type: EventType.Key): Registers a function for a specific key event.
• trigger_event(type): Manually triggers an event.

Screen

Simple tkinter window with key event binding:

• set_resize(width: bool, height: bool): Sets if the window's width and height can be resized.
• show(): Opens the window and starts listening for key presses.
• after(ms: int, func: FunctionType): Runs a function after a specified amount if milliseconds.
• quit(): Closes the window.
