matter

Matter is a UI framework that makes creating a fast cross-platform UI easy.

main.cpp functions as an example of the current point of the library. In future all SDL2 code will be abstracted in a class. Build instructions for Unix and Windows can be found below.
Once the codebase is at the minimum working stage documentation will be available.

Usage

Based on the code that exists at present creating a window with a fullscreen button is as simple as this:

Window win = Window(window, renderer);

Label btn = PushButton();
btn.setText("Click Me");
win.setRootView(&btn);

Building

While the library is being built main.cpp serves as the test sandbox and can be built using the following steps.

Unix

Install sdl2 and sdl2_ttf through your package manager or manually.
Run make in your terminal at the root of the project and matter will be built.

Windows

Install mingw-get and install the essentials, especially mingw32-gcc-g++-bin and mingw32-make.
Download the SDL2 MinGW library and the SDL2 TTF MinGW library, extract the two archives and drag all files from the i686 folder in both to your MinGW installation folder (most likely C:\MinGW).
Run mingw32-make in your terminal at the root of the project and matter.exe will be built.
