UI, a eas(y)ier way of making interfaces.

[Someguynamedpie]

Yay! I made a ui thing! This makes it very easy to make interfaces.
I was so used to gmod, I just couldnt get used to the other User interfaces out there. So, I made UI. (unique name amirite)
Here is a inefficient example:

Code: Select all

local test=0
local tst=0
require("ui/ui.lua")
local btn=ui:Create("button")
btn:SetPos(0,100)
btn:SetSize(100,20)
btn:SetColor(Color(255,0,0,255))
btn:SetTextColor(Color(0,0,0))
btn:SetBorderColor(Color(0,255,0))
btn:SetBorderEnabled(true)
function btn.OnMouseOver()
	test=1
end
function btn.OnMouseOut()
	test=0
end
function btn.OnMouseDown(k)
	tst=k=="l" and 1
end
function btn.OnMouseUp()
	tst=0
end
function love.draw()
	ui.draw()
	btn:SetColor(Color(255*tst,255*test,100,255))
	btn:SetBorderColor(Color(255*tst,255,0))
	btn:SetText(string.rep("|",math.abs(math.cos(os.clock()*2)*10)))
	btn:SetPos(math.sin(os.clock()*2)*100+100,math.cos(os.clock()*2)*100+100)
end

Text on the button is centered. It uses the label element.
Elements finished so far...:

• Button
• Label

Work in Progress Elements

• Input
• Window
• Checkbox

None of these elements use images.
I'm making a IRC client after I finish this lib to show the possibilities.
Anyone likey?

It's kind of hard to tell if it's any good if you haven't released, right?

I'm/I was used to GMOD lua too! Gief!

It's just a matter of time before people start compiling a LOVE Derma. That would make my day.

As for your button, looks good (based on the snippet). GMod did a lot of things right in the way of GUI, I'm just glad I don't have to mess with CL and SV side anymore.

I'll post a screen shot. Right now, the code is pretty messy, I'll clean it up, finish with a few elements and release a demo.

Actually, the gui library 'Goo' was based on Derma.

No wonder I took to goo instantly.
