# EasyPygameWidgets

An easy-to-use UI widget library for pygame, featuring customizable buttons, sliders, text entries, and screen
management.

## Features

- **easy integration**: seamlessly works with existing pygame projects
- **customizable widgets**: nearly infinite styling options for colors, sounds, cursors, and more
- **screen management**: built-in screen system for creating different GUIs

## Installation

### Windows
```bash
pip install easypygamewidgets
```

### Linux/macOS
```bash
python3 -m pip install easypygamewidgets
```

## Quick Start

```python
import pygame
import easypygamewidgets as epw

pygame.init()
window = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
clock = pygame.time.Clock()

# link the pygame window
epw.link_pygame_window(window)

# create a screen (optional)
screen = epw.Screen(id="main")

# create a button
button = epw.Button(screen=screen, text="Click Me!", width=200, height=50)
button.place(300, 250)

# create a slider
slider = epw.Slider(screen=screen, text="Volume", start=0, end=100, width=300)
slider.place(250, 350)

# create a text entry
entry = epw.Entry(screen=screen, text="Type here...", width=250)
entry.place(275, 450)

# main game loop
running = True
while running:
    window.fill((30, 30, 30))
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            running = False

        # handle widget events
        epw.handle_event(event)

    # handle special widget events
    epw.handle_special_events()

    # draw all widgets
    epw.flip()

    pygame.display.update()
    clock.tick(60)

pygame.quit()
```

## Widgets Documentation

All examples will use the
same [start template code](https://github.com/PizzaPost/pywidgets/blob/master/examples/start_template.py).

### Screen

A container for managing groups of widgets with shared visibility and state.

[example code](https://github.com/PizzaPost/pywidgets/blob/master/examples/screen.py)

### Button

A customizable button widget to run commands when interacted.

[example code](https://github.com/PizzaPost/pywidgets/blob/master/examples/button.py)

### Slider

A slider for selecting values within a specific range.

[example code](https://github.com/PizzaPost/pywidgets/blob/master/examples/slider.py)

### Entry

A text entry with selection and clipboard support.

[example code](https://github.com/PizzaPost/pywidgets/blob/master/examples/entry.py)

### Label

A text display that can be used to drag it into places.

[example code](https://github.com/PizzaPost/pywidgets/blob/master/examples/label.py)

## Module Functions

### Core Functions

```python
# link your pygame window (required before using widgets)
epw.link_pygame_window(pygame_window)

# handle pygame events (call in event loop)
epw.handle_event(pygame_event)

# handle special events (call outside event loop)
epw.handle_special_events()

# draw all widgets to the linked window
epw.flip()
```
