QUICKIE

Quickie is an immediate mode gui library for LÖVE. Initial inspiration came from the article Sol on Immediate Mode GUIs (IMGUI). You should check it out to understand how Quickie works.

Example

local gui = require "Quickie"

function love.load()
	-- preload fonts
	fonts = {
		[12] = love.graphics.newFont(12),
		[20] = love.graphics.newFont(20),
	}
	love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(17,17,17)
	love.graphics.setFont(fonts[12])

	-- group defaults
	gui.group.default.size[1] = 150
	gui.group.default.size[2] = 25
	gui.group.default.spacing = 5
end

local menu_open = {
	main  = false,
	right = false,
	foo   = false,
	demo  = false
}
local check1   = false
local check2   = false
local input    = {text = ""}
local slider   = {value = .5}
local slider2d = {value = {.5,.5}}

function love.update(dt)
	gui.group.push{grow = "down", pos = {5,5}}

	-- all widgets return true if they are clicked on/activated
	if gui.Checkbox{checked = menu_open.main, text = "Show Menu"} then
		menu_open.main = not menu_open.main
	end

	if menu_open.main then
		gui.group.push{grow = "right"}

		-- widgets can have custom ID's for tooltips etc (see below)
		if gui.Button{id = "group stacking", text = "Group stacking"} then
			menu_open.right = not menu_open.right
		end

		if menu_open.right then
			gui.group.push{grow = "up"}
			if gui.Button{text = "Foo"} then
				menu_open.foo = not menu_open.foo
			end
			if menu_open.foo then
				gui.Button{text = "???"}
			end
			gui.group.pop{}

			gui.Button{text = "Bar"}
			gui.Button{text = "Baz"}
		end
		gui.group.pop{}

		if gui.Button{text = "Widget demo"} then
			menu_open.demo = not menu_open.open
		end

	end
	gui.group.pop{}

	if menu_open.demo then
		gui.group{grow = "down", pos = {200, 80}, function()
			love.graphics.setFont(fonts[20])
			gui.Label{text = "Widgets"}
			love.graphics.setFont(fonts[12])
			gui.group{grow = "right", function()
				gui.Button{text = "Button"}
				gui.Button{text = "Tight Button", size = {"tight"}}
				gui.Button{text = "Tight² Button", size = {"tight", "tight"}}
			end}

			gui.group{grow = "right", function()
				gui.Button{text = "", size = {2}} -- acts as separator
				gui.Label{text = "Tight Label", size = {"tight"}}
				gui.Button{text = "", size = {2}}
				gui.Label{text = "Center Label", align = "center"}
				gui.Button{text = "", size = {2}}
				gui.Label{text = "Another Label"}
				gui.Button{text = "", size = {2}}
			end}

			gui.group.push{grow = "right"}
			if gui.Checkbox{checked = check1, text = "Checkbox", size = {"tight"}} then
				check1 = not check1
				print(check1)
			end
			if gui.Checkbox{checked = check2, text = "Another Checkbox"} then
				check2 = not check2
			end
			if gui.Checkbox{checked = check2, text = "Linked Checkbox"} then
				check2 = not check2
			end
			gui.group.pop{}

			gui.group{grow = "right", function()
				gui.Label{text = "Input", size = {70}}
				gui.Input{info = input, size = {300}}
			end}

			gui.group{grow = "right", function()
				gui.Label{text = "Slider", size = {70}}
				gui.Slider{info = slider}
				gui.Label{text = ("Value: %.2f"):format(slider.value), size = {70}}
			end}

			gui.Label{text = "2D Slider", pos = {nil,10}}
			gui.Slider2D{info = slider2d, size = {250, 250}}
			gui.Label{text = ("Value: %.2f, %.2f"):format(slider2d.value[1], slider2d.value[2])}
		end}
	end

	-- tooltip (see above)
	if gui.mouse.isHot('group stacking') then
		local mx,my = love.mouse.getPosition()
		gui.Label{text = 'Demonstrates group stacking', pos = {mx+10,my-20}}
	end
end

function love.draw()
	gui.core.draw()
end

function love.keypressed(key, code)
	gui.keyboard.pressed(key, code)
end
