pygameinputs 0.1.4

A package to add inputs that work with pygame

pygame inputs

a python library used to create input boxes and buttons in pygame for a GUI

This is a free open source python library. Please read the license before editing or sharing online

Installation:

• To use the package use the pip install pygameinputs command

How to use:

To get started ensure you have pygame. If you don't use: pip install pygame to get started.

I recommend an IDE when designing an app but is not required.

button creation

Import the button scripts: from PygameInputs.Button import Button this line will import the button module from the Pygame Inputs library

To create a button firstly give it an identifier, in this case I am going to give mine an identifier of startGame.

The button has a blueprint and will work straight away without editing any of its attributes however it can be fully customised.

startGame = Button()

Input box creation

Import the input box scripts: from PygameInputs.TextBox import TextBox this line will import the textbox module form the Pygame Inputs library

To create a textbox firstly give it an identifier, in this case I am going to give mine an identifier of searchBar.

The textbox has a blueprint and will work straight away without editing any of its attributes however it can be fully customised.

searchBar = TextBox()

Label creation

Import the label scripts: from pygameinputs.Label import Label this line will import the label module from the Pygame Inputs library

To create a label firstly give it an identifier, in this case I am going to give mine an identifier of myLabel.

The label has a blueprint and will work straight away without editing any of its attributes however it can be fully customised.

myLabel = Label()

Slider creation

Import the slider scripts: from pygameinputs.Sliders import HorizontalSlider, VerticalSlider this line will import the slider module from the pygame inputs library

To create a slider firstly give it an identifier. In this case I am goting to give mine and idetifier of myHorizontalSlider.

The slider has a blueprint and will work straight away without editing any of its attributes however it can be fully customised

myHorizontalSlider = HorizontalSlider()

for a vertical slider replace HorizontalSlider() with VerticalSlider()
