GUI Library for C++

Overview

This is a simple GUI library for C++ designed for console applications on Windows OS. It provides basic functionalities to create menus, handle user input, and display text with colors in the console.

Features

• Clear the console screen
• Wait for user input
• Change the state of the GUI
• Display menus and settings
• Handle user input for menu navigation
• Display text with colors
• Full-screen mode support

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/antialberteinstein/gui-library.git

2. Include the gui.h and gui.cpp files in your project, make sure that gui.cpp is compiled with code source.
3. NOTE: You may be able to change gui.cpp and gui.h for your purpose, we are welcome about those.

Usage

Initialization

Before using the GUI library, initialize it by calling:

init_gui();

Creating a Menu

1. Define the actions for your menu items:

   void action1() {
       cout << "Action 1 selected" << endl;
   }
   
   void action2() {
       cout << "Action 2 selected" << endl;
   }

2. Create a Settings object and a Menu object:

   Settings settings;
   Menu menu(settings);

3. Add items to the menu:

   menu.add_item("Option 1", action1);
   menu.add_item("Option 2", action2);

4. Show the menu and handle user input:

   bool running = true;
   while (running) {
       menu.show();
       menu.update();
       attach_running(running);
   }

Displaying Text with Colors

Use the set_color and reset_color functions to display text with colors:

set_color(RED);
cout << "This is red text" << endl;
reset_color();

Full-Screen Mode

Enter full-screen mode by calling:

enter_full_screen();

Example

Here is a complete example of a simple program using the GUI library:

#include "gui.h"

void action1() {
    cout << "Action 1 selected" << endl;
}

void action2() {
    cout << "Action 2 selected" << endl;
}

int main() {
    init_gui();

    Settings settings;
    Menu menu(settings);

    menu.add_item("Option 1", action1);
    menu.add_item("Option 2", action2);

    bool running = true;
    while (running) {
        menu.show();
        menu.update();
        attach_running(running);
    }

    return 0;
}
