urutora

GUI Library for LÖVE

Instructions

Import the urutora folder in your project and do:

urutora = require 'urutora'
local u = urutora:new()

You will also need to pass love's events to urutora:

function love.mousepressed(x, y, button) u:pressed(x, y) end
function love.mousemoved(x, y, dx, dy) u:moved(x, y, dx, dy) end
function love.mousereleased(x, y, button) u:released(x, y) end
function love.textinput(text) u:textinput(text) end
function love.keypressed(k, scancode, isrepeat) u:keypressed(k, scancode, isrepeat) end
function love.wheelmoved(x, y) u:wheelmoved(x, y) end

In your update and draw functions, call urutora's respective functions:

function love.update(dt) 
    u:update(dt)
end
function love.draw() 
    u:draw()
end

Then, to set up your UI, call any of the component functions with its parameters during initialization.

function love.load()
  local clickMe = u.button({
    text = 'Click me!',
    x = 10, y = 10,
    w = 200,
  })

  local num = 0
  clickMe:action(function(e)
    num = num + 1
    e.target.text = 'You clicked me ' .. num .. ' times!'
  end)

  u:add(clickMe)
end
