Description

OcempGUI is a small toolkit, which comes with various modules suitable for event management, user interfaces, 2D drawing and accessibility.

OcempGUI enables developers to enhance their python and/or pygame applications and games easily with graphical UI elements such as buttons, entry boxes, scrolling abilities and more as well as simple event brokers or features, which enhance the program by adding accessibility to its objects.

It can save a developer much time by providing a broad range of drawing routines and ready-to-use event capable object types. The developer can focus on the main tasks instead of taking care about needed low-level components, which are given to him with OcempGUI.

Changes

Features:

New papi (python accessible programming interface) module, which bridges directly to the ATK/AT-SPI accessibility system and allows any python application and object to be made accessible.

New FaderSurface class, which can fade in and out surfaces using alpha transparency.

New INotifyable interface class.

New ButtonBase class for rapid creation of own Button widgets.

New Diagram and Graph2D classes for drawing diagrams and graphs.

New ViewPort class, which acts as proxy class to add scrolling abilities to widgets.

Real z-axis support using different layers.

Improved rendering and theme support by a better separation of styles and drawing code.

Instant updates. Widgets are redrawn instantly instead of being bound to a timer.

and many others.

Changes:

Minimum pygame requirement changed to version 1.7.1.

Installation of additional data now respects the user flags.

Filename fixes for case-insensitibe filesystems.

EventManager class does not use __slots__ anymore.

Removed RenderLayer class.

Improved the look of the Scale widgets.

Style.load() now recognizes variables, which start with '_'.

The ListItemCollection now inherits from UserList.

The ListItemCollection constructor now receives optional list arguments.

and many others.

<back from spending the afternoon looking more deeply into OcEmpGui> Seriously. Marcus has laid down a solid foundation here that could really go someplace! As it stands, this package is extremely robust and feature-rich, very well-documented, requires nothing beyond pygame and numeric/numpy, and is actually quite easy to get started with (pull open the html manual on your second screen, jump into docs/examples/hello_world.py and work your way up to docs/examples/example.py). Why hasn't this gotten more attention?? A name change, maybe ... EasyPygameGUI?

This really is terrific stuff. Works great up to Python 2.4, but then starts getting sluggish for some reason. pygame powers-that-be should really consider taking this into trunk, imho

@Ivan: You can use the ocemp-devel mailing list at http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=100329 or the wiki at http://ocemp.sourceforge.net/ocempwiki/ to ask any question, you have. @Mike: Heavy on requirements? Python and Pygame with surfarray support are not heavy, I think ;-).

Hey this is awesome stuff. I'm an experienced game engine programmer just starting with Python and Pygame. After researching all the guis on this page I decided on yours. Do you have a forum on this package somewhere? I'd love to talk with other users and share knowledge. A few questions for you too, if you're interested.

AMAZING. A little heavy on requirements, but still outstanding. Well done.

The program kept hanging when I tried to install it on my win98, so i had to change line 28 to return not os.system ("pkg-config > NUL") == 0 for it to work

I've only tried the widgets portion of this package but the selection and functionality of the widgets really is top notch. Excellent docstrings for all the classes as well. Only thing that takes time is plugging his Renderer into your code. Make sure you check Renderer.py's documentation if you are having trouble.
