cpp-Utilities

C++ utility classes that I have made during other projects and think would be useful for other applications

Some of the classes are built for the "Simple and Fast Multimedia Library" (SFML) and the "Texus' Graphical User Interface" (TGUI)

Tested with:

• Compiler: MSYS2
• Version: g++.exe (Rev3, Built by MSYS2 project) 12.1.0

SFML:

• Version: 2.6.1

TGUI:

• Version: 1.2

Utilities breakdown

File	Brief Description	Dependencies
funcHelper.hpp	Makes taking, storing, and using functions as variables easier. Functions set can have dynamic data given to them when the function is invoked.	None
EventHelper.hpp	Event class with thread-safety. Functions set to an event can have dynamic data given when the event is invoked.	None
StringHelper.hpp	Simple class for common string operations like trimming and converting char to lowercase. Includes functions for converting a string to float, int, etc.	None
UpdateLimiter.hpp	Used to limit the speed of a thread	None
Stopwatch.hpp	Used to check how long operations take	None
Log.hpp	Simple class that prints logs into a file	None
iniParser.hpp	Easy to use ini parser	StringHelper.hpp
CommandHandler.hpp	Used to create and use commands. The command handler also has the ability to search commands.	funcHelper.hpp, StringHelper.hpp
CommandPrompt.hpp	Simple command prompt that uses the command handler as its backend	CommandHandler.hpp, StringHelper.hpp, TGUICommon.hpp, TGUI
TerminatingFunction.hpp	Functions that will be called every frame until it says it is done running	funcHelper.hpp
TFuncDisplay.hpp	Simple display for terminating functions for debugging	TerminatingFunction.hpp, TGUICommon.hpp, TGUI, CommandHandler.hpp (optional)
LiveVar.hpp	Live variables are used for debugging and testing	EventHelper.hpp, funcHelper.hpp, SFML Events, CommandHandler.hpp (optional)
VarDisplay.hpp	Simple display for live vars, which shows all the current live vars and their values	LiveVar.hpp, TGUICommon.hpp, TGUI, CommandHandler.hpp (optional)
GraphData.hpp	Used to store data used for Graph.hpp	SFML Color and Vector2, StringHelper.hpp
Graph.hpp	A simple graph drawing class. Can draw any of the following Histogram, Bar, Scatter, and Line graphs. Can draw to a SFML texture or straight to the window	GraphData.hpp, StringHelper.hpp, Spline.hpp (from here)
TGUICommon.hpp	Simple classes with features that I find myself using often	TGUI, CommandHandler.hpp (optional)
TestHelper.hpp	Helper for testing a function or a sequence of functions runtime	SFML Window, SFML Graphics, TGUI, iniParser.hpp, Stopwatch.hpp, funcHelper.hpp, Graph.hpp

A preview of a few utilities

Note that the theme can be set to any TGUI theme, and the utilities UI will update accordingly.

Command Prompt

Firstly, to open and close the command prompt, you can use the tilde key (~)

To get a list of commands, use the command help

To find out more about a specific command, type help 'command'

Var Display and Live Var

Live vars can have key binds set to them for specific values or to increment them.

Example:

Example usage with command prompt:

VarDisplayAndCommandPrompt.mp4

Terminating Functions Display

Display for seeing the name and total time of each terminating function

Graphing Class

Simple Graphing class that supports line graphs, bar graphs, scatter plots and histograms.

Test Helper

Helper for testing a function or a sequence of functions runtime
