Pygame Widgets
A helper module for common widgets that may be required in developing applications with Pygame. It supports fully customisable buttons, collections of buttons, textboxes, sliders and many more! If there are any widgets that you would like to see added, please create an issue!
Changes in Pygame Widgets v1.0.0
In v1.0.0, there are some minor changes to the use of the module, which may affect existing projects. This outlines the changes that will affect current users in the new version.
- As more widgets are added, importing is now different
# Now
from pygame_widgets.button import Button
# Instead of
from pygame_widgets import Button # Will not work- All widgets are now updated (draw and listen) by the update method
import pygame
import pygame_widgets
from pygame_widgets.button import Button
pygame.init()
win = pygame.display.set_mode((600, 600))
button = Button(win, 100, 100, 300, 150)
run = True
while run:
events = pygame.event.get()
for event in events:
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
run = False
quit()
win.fill((255, 255, 255))
# Now
pygame_widgets.update(events)
# Instead of
button.listen(events)
button.draw()
pygame.display.update()Prerequisites
