Title: Menu, and text table library for simple UI?
Post by: Tumbleweed53 on November 13, 2020, 11:26:58 pm

I'm working on a game that needs a simple menu and text table library.

For example, I want to present a tabular list of data in a few columns, and have a few menu options to manipulate the data.

I'm hoping someone else has worked out all of the text justification and mouse clicking logic, and I can just build upon their work?

Thanks

There really isn't much out there, but this was a good start for me. I had the best experience with TGUI.

Another one I'll mention, which I've loved the most is the GUI System from the book SFML Game Development By Example. He walks you through a pretty sweet system that you can easily expand upon. It has all the basic widgets and if you get the source for his Master SFML version, he expands on it a bit more.
