UnixEngine

A very basic View Engine for Unix.

Running

To run UnixEngine simply copy the code below and add your code in the functions.

#include "../engine/engine.h"
using namespace std;

// Function called when command is written in the console
void command_written(string command);

// Function called before the next frame is rendered
void render_frame(Canvas *canvas);

int main()
{
    UnixEngine *engine = new UnixEngine();
    engine->set_canvas(120, 40);
    engine->start(render_frame, command_written);
    delete engine;
    return 0;
}

Draw

To launch Draw you need to compile the app and the engine and then launch it.

 > make draw
 > ./draw

In Draw you can paint views on a canvas by setting its various properties to create the exact view you want.

x

 >  View(x:10)

y

 >  View(y:10)

Width

 >  View(width:10)

Height

 >  View(height:10)

Background color

 >  View(background_color:10)

Style

 >  View(style:10)

Border width

 >  View(border_width:10)

Border Style

 >  View(border_style:10)

Border color

 >  View(border_color:10)

---

To create a view you can combine any these properties in any order you want.

 >  View(width: 20, height: 10, style: #)

 >  View(x: 10, y: 5, width: 5, height: 5, background_color: magenta, style: *)

 >  View(x: 10, y: 5, width: 20, height: 10, border_width: 2, border_color: red, border_style: *)

 >  View(x: 20, y: 5, width: 25, height: 7, background_color: magenta, style: *, border_width: 1, border_color: red, border_style: #)

You can also draw views on top of each other.

 >  View(x: 10, y: 5, width: 20, height: 10, border_width: 2, border_color: blue, border_style: *)
 >  View(x: 20, y: 5, width: 25, height: 7, background_color: magenta, style: *, border_width: 1, border_color: red, border_style: #)
