Pop.Box

Do not mix with Cola.

Pop.Box is a GUI library for use in the LÖVE 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.

Features

• Quickly set up and align GUI elements.
• Fully customizable alignment / styling.
• Moving/resizing elements takes alignment into account.
• Extensible: Make your own elements, skins, extensions, and everything is automatically loaded.

Usage

The basics:

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()!"))

For more examples, see the code in demo. For documentation, see docs.
