Disclaimer: this was written a long time ago and I've come a long way as a programmer. I have no reason to believe that this library wouldn't function as promised, but I don't entirely stand for all of the code style and practises found within.
Fungal UI is a simple library, made mostly for fun, to create UIs in console-based C++ applications.
Much like VIM, you can launch a Fungal UI program from the terminal and return to the original console buffer after exiting.
Nothing fancy, but one could reasonably extend the project to handle both mouse events and 2D control positioning -- the reason I haven't is that such features seemed outside the scope of the simple UI library I wanted to make but I might revisit at a later date and build upon it further.
Navigation between controls is performed with the Arrow up-down keys and the Tab key, navigation within a control is performed with the Arrow left-right keys, and controls are drawn vertically, in a list-like fashion.
Escape allows you to go back to whichever control was displayed previously and if there are none, the program exits.
This library is compatible with projects running on Windows and using C++17 or above. Since there are only a few functions which are Windows-dependant, one could with some minor trouble generalize it to work for Linux as well.
Use the included CMake files and build as normal.
- Resizing the Window causes all kinds of issues
- If a non-page control is taller than the console-window, it would go out of bounds. Should attempt to generalize the scrolling implementation in page.cpp
