Computer Craft GUI API

Primary LanguageLua

Computer Craft GUI API

This GUI allows you to code your own Touchable Advanced-Monitor-Program for the Computer Craft Mod. You can create UI-Widgets (manly buttons), to make your Program interactive. You can easily build a Simple OS without need to handle click events yourself. The API is OOP and make uses of Closures as simple EventHandlers.

Installation

Use pastebin to get the latest version of gui.lua. Then load the file into your Program e.g.:

  dofile("/my_files/gui.lua")
  -- That way provides you a global Object called 'gui', which provides the methods

You may also use the os.loadAPI to load the API

  os.loadAPI("/my_files/gui") -- so the file has to be named without .lua
  -- That way you get a the gui Object within a gui object (so you need to call gui.gui.<method>)

This behavior may be changed in feature

*Tip: If you want the API to be loaded on every computer, copy the file (without .lua) to .minecraft\mods\ComputerCraft\lua\rom\apis*

Usage

See examples for a usage description. More documentation may follow.

TODO

  • Create an installer that allows you to load the latest Version of the API directly from github
  • Create a better loadable API
  • Much API-Documentation
