So I've started working on a pico8 U.I today. I'll be re-installing linux (switching to fedora) soon so I'm not only using this post as a backup, but also using this post as a sort of preview of things to come.

I wouldn't bother using this just yet, though. Its quite un-optimized so far and not yet finished, and its also not documented and the sample code used for the gif I generated was a bit sloppily thrown together, but if you want to take the code and tweak it to your own needs then by all means do so.
running code:

--s★ui
--shooting★

function s★ui_init()
    s★ui={frame={},mse={0,0}}
    --configure here
        --[1]=bg, [2]=border,
        --[3]=content color
        --[4] = scrollbar back color
        --[5] = scrollbar btn color
        --[6] = scrollbar btn hover
        --      color
        --[7] = content btn bg color
        --[8] = content btn border
        --      color
        --[9] = content btn fg color
        --[10]= content btn bg hover
        --[11]= content btn border
        --      hover
        --[12]= content btn text

sample code used in gif above:

function _init()
    s★ui_init()

    wnd_main = s★ui_new({
        title='pico8-ui',
        dc=true
    })
    --wnd_main content
    s★ui_newelem(wnd_main, {
    x=0,
    y=0,
    txt='welcome to the pico-8 ui\ndemo!\n\nlicense:\nthis doesn\'t actually have\none, but i thought it would\nlook kinda cool to have\nsome kind of massive text\nwall here for this demo,\nso here it is. please use the\nbuttons on the bottom right\nhand corner to scroll this\npage!'})

    s★ui_newelem(wnd_main, {
    x=0,
    y=112,
    txt=[[oh, neat. you scrolled!
now that you have scrolled,
how about we get a little
more into it? if you want to
use this neat u.i, then be
prepared because it takes
929 tokens. however, as
you can tell its a fully
functional u.i system with
the ability to scroll content
and create buttons, checkboxes
and horizontal rules.

here's a sample setup!

function _init()
 s★ui_init()

 --setup main window
 wnd_main = s★ui_new({
        title='pico8-ui',
        dc=true --disable close

    y=0,
    txt='this is some text'
 })

 wnd_checkbox = s★ui_newelem(
 wnd_main, {

    txt='checkbox'
    })
end
]]})

    s★ui_newelem(wnd_main, {

    })

    --fix close button

This is neat.

P#61899 2019-02-14 22:38

This is an interesting project. Do you plan to do line wrapping at some point?

P#61945 2019-02-16 11:06

Probably, though I haven't had much time to work on it since I've been working a lot. But yeah, I may include line-wrapping. Maybe even text-fields or something, depends. I'm trying to use a little tokens as possible so its already had a complete re-write at one point, and may have another soon.

phew, thats a lot of compressed code. Anyway, now here's how you can use it:
For starters, inside of _init() we're going to create a sample frame. First, we initialize SSUI (Shooting Start U.I)

--init ssui
ssui_init()

Next, we create the frame!

--create frame and disable close
frm_sample = ssui_frame({
    title='picoui - ssui demo',
    dc=true
})

by setting dc to true, we're disabling the ability to click the X at the top right corner. Now then, lets give this frame some content!

--simple text
frm_sample.add({
    x=0,
    y=0,
    txt='janky\n\nso this is what it means to\nhave a really neat u.i\nsystem that has scrolling\ncapabilities.'
})

--checkbox
frm_sample_chkbox = 
 frm_sample.add({
     x=0,
     y=48,
     txt='124 - lock y-scroll',
     type='chk'
})

--button
frm_sample_button = 
 frm_sample.add({
     x=0,
     y=60,
     txt='click me!',
     type='btn',
     act=function()
        sfx(0)
        frm_sample.dc = false
     end
})

--hr
frm_sample.add({
     x=0,
     y=74,
     type='hr',
})

All of these are commented so they should be readable. This code will create what you see in the gif. Clicking the button will play sfx 0 and also will give you the ability to close the frame.

To get everything drawing, lets put this inside _draw() (at the very bottom so it draws over everything else)

ssui_draw()

Finally, to get the checkbox to actually function, lets add something in _update60() (or non 60, up to you tbh)

if frm_sample_chkbox.checked == true then
    frm_sample.sy=0
end

Thats that. So far, this is all I'm capable of. Have fun creating multiple frames/content. Hope this helps some of you continue or start a project.

Very nice!

Thanks, tom

P#62863 2019-03-17 20:35

This is great! What do you think you'll use it for? I'm still brainstorming.

And do you have anywhere online I can follow more of your work? haha.
