What it does

This library allows you to create graphical components in pygame in a very few lines of code. It handles all color management, stroke weights and filling for you. It also provides a Vector class suitable for physics engines and mathematical drawings.

Please go and check pygame for their amazing work !

How to ?

Please refer to test.py on GitHub for a very simple but effective test file.

from phoenyx import Engine

renderer = Engine(600, 600)


def setup():
    renderer.create_slider(100, 100, "slider", 0, 10, 1, 1, length=300)
    renderer.create_button(300, 300, "button", action=lambda: print("button pressed"))

    renderer.text_size = 15


def draw():
    renderer.background(51)
    renderer.text(100, 500, f"value of slider : {renderer.get_slider_value('slider')}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    renderer.run(draw, setup=setup)

For further help please try help(phoenyx) or read in-code docs.

Requirements

Obviously some distribution of python : python 3.9 and above is needed.

You will also need pygame in order to use the Engine and numpy to use Vectors.
