- **Event Handling**:
- Mouse clicks, motion, and keypress events
- Dynamic updates through an efficient redraw system
- Simple signaling system
## Getting Started
1. Clone repo
```bash
git clone https://github.com/YASSINE-AA/GooeyGUI.git
```
2. Update submodules:
```bash
git submodule update --init --force --remote
```
3. Apply patches:
```bash
./scripts/apply-cjson-submodule-patch.sh
```
4. Init Cmake
```bash
cmake -S . -B build
cd build
make all
```
5. Run example
```bash
cp examples/roboto.ttf build/
./example_basic
```
### Prerequisites
Ensure your development environment includes:
- **X11 Development Libraries**: Gooey relies on X11 (``, ``, ``).
- **GLFW Development Library**: Gooey relies on GLFW (``).
- **OpenGL Development Library**: Gooey relies on GLAD (``).
- **cJSON Development Library**: Gooey relies on cJSON (``).
### Installation
To integrate Gooey into your project:
1. Include `gooey.h` in your project directory.
2. Add `#include "gooey.h"` to your source files.
3. Link libraries.
### Example Usage
```c
#include "gooey.h"
#include
bool state = 0;
GooeyWindow msgBox;
void messageBoxCallback(int option)
{
LOG_INFO("MessageBox option: %d", option);
}
void onButtonClick()
{
state = !state;
GooeyWindow_MakeVisible(&msgBox, state);
}
int main()
{
set_logging_enabled(true);
set_minimum_log_level(DEBUG_LEVEL_INFO);
Gooey_Init(GLFW);
GooeyWindow win = GooeyWindow_Create("Hello World", 400, 300, 1);
msgBox = GooeyMessageBox_Create("Hello", "Welcome to Gooey!", MSGBOX_INFO, messageBoxCallback);
GooeyMessageBox_Show(&msgBox);
GooeyButton_Add(&win, "Click Me", 150, 100, 100, 40, onButtonClick);
GooeyWindow_Run(2, &win, &msgBox);
GooeyWindow_Cleanup(&win);
return 0;
}
