Straight-forward, pretty, and skinnable C++ UI library for games and 3d applications.
Do not use for actual things!
This is very much a work in progress. While it works (more or less), it's not very robust, and is very hackish. Also note that there are currently no optimizations done on the code what-so-ever..
Currently supported controls:
- Button
- Progressbar
- Slider
- List Box
- Checkbox
- Label
- Dropdown
- Text input box
- Rectangle (can be used to display images)
- Image Grid (useful for e.g. inventories in RPG's)
- Multi line text field with formatting
- Skill bar (for RPG's and similar games - supports 1..n clickable icons with optional cooldown indicators)
- Window
Noteable features:
- JSON-based CSS-style skinning - no texture maps required (textures are of course supported)
- Skins are animated - each UI state (such as active and hover) can be skinned separately, and Thurs will animate between them when the state changes
- Designed around signals/slots (powered by sigslot.h)
- Light on dependencies
- Liberally licensed (Simplified BSD for now, might switch to zlib)
As of now, there's only a renderer back-end for NanoVG. It should be easy to write a custom renderer - take a look in include/thurs/renderers/thurs.renderer.nanovg.hpp for a place to start.
Documentation and an actual stable release incoming.
I've only built on OS X so far, but the code should work fine on *NX and Windows. If compiling for windows, you're gonna have to create a VS project file to compile it, or use MinGW. The included makefile probably works on Linux, but I have yet to test it. Will convert to a cross-platform build system eventually.
Thurs depend on the following libraries:
Note that you also need to link with the libraries needed to support the rendering back-end in your application. The default output of the makefile is a thin library, so you need to link with jsoncpp in your final application also.
Either copy include/thurs and the compiled library from lib to your preferred paths, or add include and lib to your path variable or as search paths in your IDE if you're using one. Running make install will move things into /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib.
