TIGR's core is a simple framebuffer library. On top of that, we provide a few helpers for the common tasks that 2D programs generally need:
- Bitmap-backed windows.
- Direct access to bitmaps, no locking.
- Basic drawing helpers (plot, line, blitter).
- Text output using bitmap fonts.
- Mouse, touch and keyboard input.
- PNG loading and saving.
- Easy pixel shader access.
You can use make ui, image or game graphics <https://github.com/Angluca/tigr-nim>
I read the readme and got into the code expecting to find a Nim-specific framebuffer lib, and I found a nim wrapper for a C-based framebuffer that uses OpenGL to draw the user-generated pixel buffer. Its respectable, making a framebuffer library from scratch in Nim, and without an api, is difficult. But my 2cents is just add those details somewhere so people don't expect the wrong thing. The current wording is misleading. Other than that, looks promising.
Also, remove the tigr prefixes from the names, Nim is not C.
Nim is not C.
Like C, Nim has a global namespace though in which symbols often collide :/
So? Unlike in C, you can then disambiguate successfully. Also, there is from module import nil etc, etc, but you know all of this.
It's nothing like C, compilation doesn't fail for example
OK, prefix it now, I forgot it before :)
tigr + mui maybe can make more ui, They are to small portable . https://github.com/Angluca/mui
