A Windows Classic style button library.

[Lua Hal]

Just a little project I did.

The code for the window shown in the video:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	love.filesystem.load("hal.lua")()
	love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(255,192,192)
	h=hal.button.new("5",0,0,100,18)
	h:addText("Toggle"):align(2,2)
	h.pressed:connect(bpressed)
	hal.button.new("6",200,200,30,40)
	hal.button.new("7",0,19,100,18):addText("Hide"):align(2,2).pressed:connect(cpressed)
	hal.button.new("8",0,38,100,18):addText("Show"):align(2,2).pressed:connect(dpressed)
end

function bpressed()
	hal.button.get("6"):toggle()
end
function cpressed()
	hal.button.get("6"):hide()
end
function dpressed()
	hal.button.get("6"):show()
end
function love.mousepressed(x,y,button)
	hal.buttons.clicked(x,y,button)
end

function love.draw()
	hal.buttons.refresh()
end

Tell me what you think!

The video shows things working well but we can't comment much further because you forgot to post "hal.lua" code so we can judge the quality of your library code. As functionality is ok. The windows look also seems good. I'm only not so impressed because the number of libraries doing close or more than that is common.
Wouldn't be better require than love.filesystem.load("hal.lua")()?

Sorry.
I'm really young, and I'm not too good at programming, so excuse the stupid things like meaningless variable names.

I think you would be better without the png graphics and quads. You could instead "vector" draw with rectangles, since are very basic and simple shapes to be simulated/draw. That way you could get flexibility of easily create color themes for your gui without have to paint images later.

[Lua Hal]

Much of the point is that you can customize the corners/sides of the 3 (4 soon) button states.

Also, I stole much of the ideas from Roblox, a crappy game I quit a year or two ago.

New Dynamic Buttons (buttons with an editable state), and many of the controls have changed.

Planned Scroll bars; horizontal and vertical. Another button state, Support for custom fonts in the buttons, and more.

New code:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	love.filesystem.load("hal.lua")()
	love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(255,192,192)
	b1=hal.instance.new("Button")
	b1.name="1"
	b1.x,b1.y=20,30
	b1.w,b1.h=80,20
	b1:addText("Toggle"):align(2,2)
	b1.pressed:connect(apressed)

	b2=hal.instance.new("Button")
	b2.name="2"
	b2.x,b2.y=100,130
	b2.w,b2.h=16,16
	b2.pressed:connect(bpressed)

	b3=hal.instance.new("DButton")
	b3.name="3"
	b3.x,b3.y=200,200
	b3.w,b3.h=50,50
end

function apressed()
	hal.button.get("2"):toggle()
end

function bpressed()
	hal.button.get("3").state=math.random(0,2)
end

function love.mousepressed(x,y,button)
	hal.buttons.clicked(x,y,button)
end

function love.draw()
	hal.buttons.refresh()
end

Lua Hal you did the great job, but there are low quality(means according to good programming practices), there are some holes. Keep doing well. I'll keep in touch with you.
