Pop.Box is a GUI library for use in the [LÖVE][2] engine, designed to be easy to
|
|
|
|
|
use and require as little code as possible to set up. It is primarily designed
|
|
|
|
|
to make it easy to experiment with GUIs during development.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

Supports LÖVE versions 0.9.1 and higher.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The basics:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
|
|
|
local pop = require "pop"
|
|
|
|
|
-- define LÖVE callbacks here (update, draw, textinput, mouse/key events)
|
|
|
|
|
local window = pop.window():align("center"):setTitle("Welcome!")
|
|
|
|
|
window:addChild(pop.text("Welcome to Pop.Box()!"))
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
**Note**: Due to this being so early in development...the above example doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
actually work as expected. `window` is a very new element.
