Since quicksilver is no longer actively developped , I no longer use it. As a result, I also stopped using Mergui. I will still respond to pull requests and the like, but don't expect any new features from me.
A simple gui system for the quicksilver engine, originally developed for Arena keeper and later ported to quicksilver 0.4 to be used in my yet to be named card game .
However, I try my best to not let those 2 games shape Mergui and instead focus on how to make Mergui work the best for every game written in Quicksilver.
When I first started with Quicksilver I couldn't find a gui system that worked with it. The result being predictable, every game made their own GUI system which often didn't go further than a button.
After I did the same for Arena keeper and discovered problems with mine I decided to rewrite it and publish it as its own crate so others won't have to.
There are multiple widgets. The 3 most important ones are
- Button.
- Dropdown
- Text input field.
For a complete list and how to use them, see the examples. Examples/all.rs has most listed, but doesn't show how to read the state of them. You can also see the examples in action here
