# WACCGL (C/C++ library, Windows)
Windows Advanced Console Componental Graphics Library
Some examples involving WACCGL usage:
TicTacConsole game involves usage of old integrated WACCGL code [see...](https://github.com/styczynski/TicTacConsole)
## About
This is just another crazy library, which allows you to create ascii-text graphical user interface inside Windows Command Prompt!
All Feautures:
* Mouse (and scroll wheel) support (little fancy text cursor inside CMD!)
* Fancy GUI inside command prompt
* Handling special event
* Many useful components (like lists, editboxes etc.)
Unfortunately this project isn't well documented yet (try to read the examples). :(
## Compiling
The library contains examples files.
Makefile commands:
* To get some help type `make` or `make help`
* To compile examples use the following command: `make all`
* To get list of all available examples type: `make run-example`
* To run an example type: `make run-example-NAME` (e.g. `make run-example-demo`)
* To clean project directory use `make clean`
* To rebuild everything run: `make rebuild`
## Examples
The library contains few examples.
You can see them to figure out how to use WACCGL.
* `basic.cpp` - basic usage
* `demo.cpp` - demo of some components
* `manual-drawing.cpp` - some manual buffer manipulation code
* `mouse.cpp` - simple mouse support
* `no-buffer-cleaning.cpp` - you don't have to clean up this mess
* `scene-animations.cpp` - some simple transitions
* `windows.cpp` - how about an iternal window?
* `own-component.cpp` - custom component implementation
## Support for other OSes
All the library depends on `./include/console.h`.
If you want to port this library to linux just rewrite the `console.h` code.
## Supported GUI components:
* Scenes - `scene`
* Checkboxes - `checkbox`
* Text frames - `textframe`
* Component frames - `frame`
* Ascii image frames - `imgframe`
* Buttons - `button`
* Select boxes - `selbox / slistbox / listbox`
* Expandable lists - `exlistbox`
* Scrollbars - `vscrollbar`
* Progressbars - `progressbar`
* Edit boxes - `edittextframe`
Of course you can implement any GUI component by extending `scene_object` class.
