SimpleGUI is a native, SDL2 powered, object oriented Object Pascal graphical user interface library.
It is based upon Lachlan Kingford's GUI (LK GUI) written for SDL 1.2. (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lkgui)
- restructured and renamed the units
- you now need just to include the SDL2_SimpleGUI unit in the uses clause to have the whole capability of the library
- library uses Classes now (instead of out-dated Object types)
- the whole rendering model changed now
- every GUI element is rendered in corresponding Render method
- before: every GUI element and its children have been drawn to a surface or texture (based in the out-dated blitting concept used by SDL 1.2)
- change text system to use strings as long as possible and just then use PChars (less error prone)
- a lot of code clean up
- changed comment section to be more compact
- merged all the md files for the git acc.
- unit SDL_Tools got obsolete, while some functions are adapted as methods
- initial release
- translation of most units of LK GUI to SDL2
- introducing renderer and window
- use of textures instead of surfaces
- use of new event SDL_TextInput for text input
- Condex.pas removed (unused)
- translation of example to SDL2
- re-build PasDoc documentation
- convert SG_GuiLib_Console.pas to SDL2 (low priority)
- finish Container feature (higher priority)
- improve TextInput
- update docs
