GOOi, an Android-Oriented GUI Library

[alberto_lara]

Hi guys, Game layout seems to work well, the goal of this one is to have an easy way to say "I want this in bottom-left, this on top-right of the screen", etc. and it's intended to be a layout for a gameplay screen.

The code below:

Code: Select all

pGame:add(gooi.newButton("btn_shot", "Shot", 0, 0, 80, 50):onRelease(function() shotBullet() end), "b-r")
pGame:add(gooi.newButton("btn_bomb", "Bomb", 0, 0, 80, 50):onRelease(function() shotBomb() end), "b-r")
pGame:add(gooi.newJoy("joy_1"), "b-l")
pGame:add(gooi.newLabel("lbl_score", "Score: 0"), "t-l")
pGame:add(gooi.newBar("bar_1"):setLength(pGame.w / 3):increase(1), "t-r")
pGame:add(gooi.newLabel("lbl_life", "Life:"), "t-r")

will add the components as in the panel in the right:



The default spacing between components is 3px, this can be changed in layout.lua:3, and this applies for both grid and game layout.

Please note, to use this (without problems) on your cellphone or tablet you need to remove the love.mousepressed/released functions and add the touchpressed,released and moved callbacks (https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love- ... /wiki/Home) like this:

Code: Select all

--function love.mousepressed(x, y, button)  gooi.pressed() end
--function love.mousereleased(x, y, button) gooi.released() end

function love.touchpressed(id, x, y, pressure) gooi.pressed(id, x, y) end
function love.touchreleased(id, x, y, pressure) gooi.released(id, x, y) end
function love.touchmoved(id, x, y, pressure) gooi.moved(id, x, y) end

It would be nice if you star my repo when using my code (or not), thanks

You just got a star from me. Very terrific work. Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks buddy, my goal is to make GOOi the most popular GUI library for LÖVE and beat the others muahahaha

just kidding (or not?)

Really like it! good work man!, I tried to use it for a japanese card game I'm making, but it makes love2d unable to print japanese text, even though your app says that it is multiligual and with utf8 support. The thing is that in order to draw japanese text I have to set an external set of japanese fonts, maybe using "gooi.font" interferes when setting external fonts in love2d.

GOOi uses utf8.lua (as external), maybe there's an issue related to that library, could you please send a .love showing that?

EDIT: Maybe I forget something like this in gooi.draw():

Code: Select all

function gooi.draw()
    local previousFont = love.graphics.getFont()
    -- Draw GOOi here with the custom font --
    love.graphics.setFont(previousFont)
end

Here it is!

Thanks, going to take a look (sorry for the delay).

EDIT: OK, I think I need to test in my home (I'm at work in Win 8.1) and see if it's something system-dependent (I have Linux at home), maybe I hastened to say GOOi is multilingual. Let me check that out and I'll tell you, GOOi does support characters like 'дфгтычкилёё#$&$/%ЬЪ*Ъ)=ЖЖЭЭ!Ээээ' (if the font used can support them), so again, I need to do some tests. Thanks for the feedback!

EDIT2: After playing a little more, it seems this is just an issue in my code (the way GOOi interacts with the Font LÖVE's API, maybe), as you can see, it seems to work well in the demo I have in Github (using the font in the .love you gave). Let me do some more tests, but hopefuly this is an easy fix:

It seems gooi.font = font doesn't work, I think I left some dead code or something, this code:

Code: Select all

require "gooi"

function love.load()
	gr = love.graphics
	kb = love.keyboard
	mo = love.mouse

	font = gr.newFont("mgenplus-1c-medium.ttf", 40)
	gooi.font = font
	gooi.newButton("btn_1", "おかきくけこさしすせそがдфгтычкилёё#")
end

function love.update(dt)
	gooi.update(dt)
end

function love.draw()
	gooi.draw()
end

function love.mousepressed(x, y, btn)
	gooi.pressed()
end
function love.mousereleased(x, y, btn)
	gooi.released()
end

gives this result:



Using the setStyle() method it seems to work, changing love.load() to this:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	gr = love.graphics
	kb = love.keyboard
	mo = love.mouse

	style = {
		font = gr.newFont("mgenplus-1c-medium.ttf", 40)
	}

	gooi.setStyle(style)	
	gooi.newButton("btn_1", "おかきくけこさしすせそがдфгтычкилёё#")
end

gives you this:



So yes, I think I dropped the 'gooi.font = font' functionality when the setStyle method was added, please use this last one to create the style you need

EDIT: As an example, the black style you see in the README file is set with this code:

Code: Select all

seriousBlack = {
      bgColor = {0, 0, 0, 127},
      fgColor = {255, 255, 255, 255},
      howRound = 0,
      showBorder = false,
      font = gr.newFont(dirFonts.."ProggySquare.ttf", 16)
   }
gooi.setStyle(seriousBlack)

Already set the fonts with setStyle, as you said, and now It works, really cool, I'll keep on doing the app, didn't want in other way because I don't find another multilingual and android compatible lib. Thanks!

Hi, post updated, GOOi is now GÖÖi, added some gifs so you can see it in action (updated README in Github as well).
