Crate minifb_ui 

Minifb-UI

This is a crate aiming to make usage of the minifb crate easier than it already is, by providing abstractions and features for easy creation and management of windows and UI elements.

Example Usage

use minifb_ui;

fn main() {
    // Create a custom window with resolution and title, and determine whether it's
    // borderless and resizable
    let mut window = minifb_ui::window::Window::custom(
        "TestWindow",
        1920,
        1080,
        false,
        false,
    );

    // You can load both otf and ttf fonts, some might work better than others
    let font = minifb_ui::ttf::Font::new("assets/Dico.ttf");

    // Create an example text and give it a font. A Text instance owns a Font instance
    let text = minifb_ui::ui::text::Text::new(
        "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog  !\"§$%&/()=?+~*#'-_.:,;<>|",
        font.clone()
    );

    // Create a button. Chaining of methods only works at creation, they cannot be used afterwards.
    // Values can still be modified using the fields of the struct instance
    let button = minifb_ui::ui::button::Button::default()
        .label("Press Me!", font)
        .text_color(minifb_ui::color::Color::from(0xAAAAAA))
        .label_alignment(minifb_ui::ui::button::Alignment::Center)
        .position(100, 100)
        .size(150, 33)
        .border(true, 1)
        .shadow(true, 5, 75)
        .border_color(minifb_ui::color::Color::from(0x777777))
        .bg_color(minifb_ui::color::Color::from(0x202020));

    // Infinite loop until the window's close button is pressed
    while window.window.is_open() {
        // Draw the text variable at position 10|10 with size 16 and the color white
        window.draw_text(10, 10, &text, 16.0, &minifb_ui::color::Color::from(0xFFFFFF));

        // Self-explanatory
        button.draw(&mut window);

        // Needs to be called every iteration of a loop
        window.update();
    }
}
