pygameinputs 0.0.1

A small example package

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 it download one of the releases provided or download the source code.
• Go to your python installation folder. On Windows it can be found here: C:\Users\YOUR USER HERE\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\YOUR PYTHON VERSION\Lib\site-packages
• Put the library in this folder

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()

Future updates:

• The textbox will be updated to have an indicator to show you are typing in the box.
• Built-in features to handle button press and typing events making your code shorter and simpler Documentation (link doesn't work yet)
