Author Topic: CalGUI -- A GUI library by flyingfisch (Read 27519 times)

NOTE: I am posting this in PRIZM projects, but since there is no LuaFX for PRIZM yet, it would be nice to have a LuaFX/AFX projects section

I have been meaning to make a GUI library for a while and have only now found the time, so here it is in alpha-of-an-alpha

Available functions:

* Lua Classes (thanks to adriweb for code)
* Input text (missing in the originl luaFX)

Planned functions to be included:

* Buttons
* Window Manager
* EZ Menus
* Dialog boxes
* Radio Buttons
* Check Boxes
* More

Since this project is free and open source, and you are free to fork it if you want, here is the code:

EDIT: Added a GitHub repo

Code: [Select]

-- locals
local line = graydraw.line
local wait = misc.wait
local setcolor = graydraw.setcolor
local text = graydraw.text
local exitprog = misc.exit
local print = nbdraw.print
local find = string.find
local setCursor = nbdraw.setcursor
local strsub = string.sub
local strlen = string.len

does it work with the classes now? sounds great, now you're sort of the inventor of classes for casio lol

looks good, and it might be alpha-of-alpha, but you have to start somewhere.. i wish you good luck with it (not sarcastic or ironically meant xp )

I understand how its meant

Yep, It does work with classes.

I added a repo on GitHub for this project: https://github.com/flyingfisch/CalGUI

ooh, i just took a look at it, and can't you remake that

Code: [Select]

if key(1) then parse = parse .. "0" end
if key(2) then parse = parse .. "." end
if key(4) then parse = parse .. "-" end
etc etc

to a table like this:

Code: [Select]

parsetable = {
["1"]="0",
["2"]=".",
etc..
}

or isn't that possible in luaFX? it would be a lot smaller than now, so you don't need all those statements, just

Code: [Select]

parse..parsetable[tostring(key)]

Ok, so this is using classes?

What do you mean by "Just for LuaFX"?

Nick · « **Reply #6 on:** January 05, 2012, 11:31:22 am »

no flyingfisch, that's not classes, that's just a table and the reference to it..

i only don't know if that ["0"]= is possible in lua, it would make the work much easier

C/C++ and classes could be already compiled with GCC or Casio's SDK (if the first option is better than second). But Very good job for making classes

and just {"0","1","2"...} is enough, nah?

flyingfisch · « **Reply #8 on:** January 05, 2012, 11:36:41 am »

key(0) returns true if one or more keys are pressed.

Eiyeron · « **Reply #9 on:** January 05, 2012, 11:38:52 am »

I know that! I'm the guy who forc'd Veb to make that! :p
and with table = {"a" = 5}, we can make table.a = 5, I saw that with trying to make a tilemapper engine...

jwalker · « **Reply #10 on:** January 05, 2012, 11:55:58 am »

you should go look at my lib i have made for the nspire. it offers all of those things you mentioned plus more. its bieng updated and their are pictures on this site in another topic it might give you some ideas...:

What does mean "EZ menus"?

Nick · « **Reply #12 on:** January 05, 2012, 11:57:30 am »

is there a big difference between luaFX and Nspire lua? otherwise this gui from jwalker could be really useful

Eiyeron · « **Reply #13 on:** January 05, 2012, 12:02:06 pm »

Not many graphics functions!

jwalker · « **Reply #14 on:** January 05, 2012, 12:05:01 pm »

what functions are there?
basicly if it supports lines, arcs, text, and the abiliy to fill polygons like rectangles, thats prety much all you need
