# Pop.Box
*Do not mix with [Cola][1].*
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.
## 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:
```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()!"))
```
For more examples, see the code in `demo`. For documentation, see `docs`.
