UI Components

A ui component needs to implement the Component interface, which itself is a combination of the ComponentAttributes and the ComponentLogic interface. To make it easier there is already a ComponentBase struct that implements the ComponentAttributes interface so you only need to embed the ComponentBase into your component struct and implement a Update and a Draw function.

Minimal Component Skeleton

// YourComponent that embeds ComponentBase
type YourComponent struct {
	*console.ComponentBase
}

// NewYourComponent creates your component.
func NewYourComponent(x, y, width, height int) *YourComponent {
	y := YourComponent{
		ComponentBase: console.NewComponentBase(x, y, width, height),
	}

	return &y
}

// Update updates your component
func (y *YourComponent) Update(con *console.Console, timeElapsed float64) bool {
        // Return true if the component should keep on living.
        // Return false if the component should be deleted from the console.
        // Use y.Close() to close it from outside.
	return true
}

// Draw draws your component
func (y *YourComponent) Draw(con *console.Console, timeElapsed float64) {
	con.Clear(y.X, y.Y, y.Width, y.Height, t.Background(consolecolor.NewHex("#000"))
}
