## :small_blue_diamond:Features


- Visual user interface design tool for the LuaRT **ui** module

- Build Windows desktop applications easily

- Generates Lua files, which can then be loaded from Lua scripts

  

## :small_blue_diamond:Installation

#### RTBuilder release package :package:

The preferred way to install RTBuilder is to download the latest release package available on GitHub.  

Be sure to download the right platform version as your LuaRT installation, either `x86` or `x64`

Just unpack the downloaded archive and extract its content in the folder of your choice.

#### Running RTBuilder using LuaRT interpreter

RTBuilder release package provides a compiled LuaRT executable that embeds all dependencies (you can use it as a standalone app, on a USB key,...)

If you want to modify or extend RTBuilder, you can use the `RTBuilder.wlua` script to launch it with the `wluart.exe` interpreter.

## :small_blue_diamond:Documentation

  

RTBuilder should be easy to use :

- Put the desired widgets on the Window, move, resize, and set properties as needed.

- Right click on widgets or on the Window currently edited to show a context menu with commands specific to the widget.

- Save the Window as a Lua file using the `Window\Save` menu command

- To make the saved Window available in your Lua scripts, just `require()` for it, and it will return a `Window` LuaRT object ready to use.

- For more information on the LuaRT **ui** module, read the [ui module documentation](http://www.luart.org/doc/ui/index.html)
