Gui Library for MonoGame

Ruminate MonoGame GUI

Current Version: MonoGame Beta This project is a GUI library for the MonoGame library.

By: Scott Franks

Demonstration Project:

There is a BitBucket repo here that contains an example project demonstrating how to set up and use the GUI. Each of the files in the screen folder demonstrate different capabilities and you can toggle though them when running the example project by pressing tab.

Skinning System:

Easily alter the look of the widgets to fit the theme of your project. Each widget can be individually skinned allowing you to mix and match skins.

Currently Available Widgets:

• Single Line Textbox
• Plain Text Textbox
• Button
• Toggle Button
• Check box
• Combo Box
• Labels
• Images
• Panel
• Scroll Panel
• Slider

Input Management:

As of release 1.4.0 the library uses a tweaked version of starbound-input. I have only done minimal testing so am calling this release a beta since a lot of testing needs to occur before I'm confident in the new input system.

monogamegui's Issues

No license

There's no license documented for this project. As such, it would be illegal for me to include it in my game if I intend to share it with anyone. While MonoGameGui seems to be a descendant of Ruminate (https://xnagui.codeplex.com/), which is under the MIT license, it contains modifications, and those are not necessarily under the same license (especially as you seem to be the original author and can relicense your code at will).

This is kind of a barrier to usage.

No documentation for creating skins and no default skin

I'm trying to start using this library. I copied a bit from the examples and -- oh wait, I don't have a skin. Is there one I can load by default? If so, it's undocumented, and poking around the source code, it seems there isn't one available.

The referenced sample project does have an example theme. Since no license is listed, though, I can't use that.
