pygame-ui-mb 0.1.1

A package for fluid uis in PyGame

pygame-ui

Introduction & Overview

Here's my attempt at creating a fluid User Interface library built for pygame 2+

This project is current VERY EARLY in development, so there are probably loads of bugs that you'll experience when messing about with it, so feel free to open an issue or create a PR and fix the bug yourself :)

How to use

Just take a look in the repo and try out some of the example files - I suggest you look into how they work to get an idea of how you'd setup your own uis :)

Warning: Some examples/*.py files may no longer be functional, as I've done quite a large rewrite of the main Widget & Container code. I'll try and get all the tests setup properly asap.

Good Practice: examples/complex.py is the most recent of the examples/*.py files, and it is therefor written the most efficiently and pythonic. I recommend you take a look through it so you can plan out how to setup your own interfaces.

Here's what you should see when you run examples/complex.py, you can use the WASD keys to resize the Window Widget

Further Code Examples

A window with two stretching widgets, organised in a row

import PygameUi
Window = PygameUi.Window
Widget = PygameUi.Widget
Layout = PygameUi.Layout
Tags = pygameUi.widget_tags.Tags

# initialise a main window,
# and set its size to 300x200

main_window = Window()
main_window.size = (300,200)
main_window.layout_direction = Tags.ROW

# create two child widgets,
# and set their fluid sizes to
# have the same priority - so
# they take up the same amount
# of space

child_left = Widget()
child_left.fluid_size = (1,1)
child_right = Widget()
child_right.fluid_size = (1,1)

main_window.add_children([child_left, child_right])

# this is NOT all the code required-
# you also need your basic pygame loop
# and event management. If you're not
# sure how that would be setup, I
# recommend you look into some of the
# example files to get a rough idea
