UI for productivity apps using Gideros

james23

hi all, was wondering the best way to go about using Gideros for non-gaming UI as seen in productivity apps and the like. For instance, there may be a leaderboard with columns and rows of data or a need for a menu system. Are there particular API's or methods to use for this? Only just starting to learn the Gideros API's so still experimenting.

For example, a simple menu system would have a row of menu items at the top that, when clicked, show its corresponding info below it. Would I just layer necessary images with the bitmap api and position text accordingly for each menu section. Then maybe have each menu section a child of the corresponding parent menu item which can be made visible on touch with a movieclip transition?

I think that @OZApps had many similar widgets to work with non-gaming UI. But was mostly for IOS stuff, so it basically depends on the platform you want to use.

@james23, @ar2rsawseen The widgets using Wax are for iOS only, other than that most of the other are pure Lua implementation and can be used with both iOS and Android.

I had widgets like a BarGraph, a listView, a menu, etc. There are more that are work in progress, details soon as I get to them.
