CustomUI 0.6 released

Posted by admin on March 21st, 2009 | 0 comments

As the headline already indicates I managed to finish the newest release of CustomUI for Irrlicht applications.

A few new features were spent to CustomUI in this release. The major features is the support of free-form polygon buttons. Now you, as a designer, have no restrictions on how to design the shape of your buttons. The button shape is defined by a vertex list which spans a polygon. I guess that is a function which makes CustomUI superior to several other existing enhanced Irrlicht GUIs out there.

I guess a code snippet says more than a thousand words. This also gives me the opportunity to introduce my new plugin for Wordpress wp-syntax

array vertices;
vertices.push_back(position2di(0,0));
vertices.push_back(position2di(100,20));
vertices.push_back(position2di(50,210));
vertices.push_back(position2di(20,200));
cInterface->addButton(stringw("btn_quit"),
			new CIC_Polygon(position2di(0,0),
					vertices,
					position2di(20,20)),
			0);

Furthermore CustomUI 0.6 got a new hierarchy system which allows you to design your GUI in within a tree structure. I now that this feature was overdue but it finally found its way to the source. The remaining additions and bug-fixes which were not explicit mentioned can be taken from the changelog at the end of this post.
