pingui's Introduction

PinGUI

C++/SDL2/OpenGL created by Lubomir "Pinsius" Barantal

Extensions: Glew for OpenGL functions. http://glew.sourceforge.net/

SDL + its extensions: SDL_TTF SDL_Image https://www.libsdl.org/

GLM library for matrix operations http://glm.g-truc.net/0.9.8/index.html

Boost (for bind function) http://www.boost.org/

Some of its features are :

Text creation (using SDL_TTF extension)
Dynamic text handling(if you write a variable, library will automatically update the text if the variable changes)
Basic gui elements (that can be networked together so elements can consist of other elements and create pure new style)
Advanced window creation options
Multitabbing (window can has more tabs with different content)
Scrolling
Windows have its own coordinate system ( [0;0] is the left corner of the window)
Each tab can have its own settings (for example font)

Note: the library is still in development

This library was developed primary for learning purposes but now i consider it to be able to handle also the GUI in my projects ( even if it still needs lot of improvements).

Things I´m still working on :

Documentation/or at least simple manual[x]
Update render system (so it will use benefit of matrices) to improve efficiency
Implement own allocators (the biggest need is for text - when it changes frequently, because dynamic allocations for sprites are slowing the speed down)
Support of multiple resolutions
Add new elements and improve old
Also add support to define GUI layout via XML

More info will be provided soon
