GuiTools - A graphic UI framework for QB64

• GuiTools should work with all recent QB64-PE (Phoenix Edition) versions and also with the older QB64 (QB64Team) versions. Note that some applications made with GuiTools may have stricter version requirements.
  
  
• GuiTools was developed with its main attention at dynamic UI creation, ie. you can easily create, modify and delete objects during runtime on the fly. There is intentionally no Designer tool here, as it would encourage people to build static UIs only. Although static UIs are quite legitimate here and there (and also possible with GuiTools), it would be a waste of GuiTools its capabilities.
  
  
• GuiTools can handle multiple forms in one program, each form in its very own independent window on your desktop, but all forms are still controlled in realtime by that one program, hence real multi-windows applications. As shown in the Multi Windows Demo, it's even possible to have interactions between several forms windows.
  
  
• GuiTools does already include a huge amount of useful functions, ready for use within your handler code. The range goes from general file and string handling functions to specialized functions like image processing and packing/unpacking. The inbuilt MessageBox and FileOpenDialog do perfectly fit into the GuiTools look and feel.
  
  
• GuiTools its UIs can be customized by every local user. Using the provided Preferences Editor, users can easily change colors, wallpapers and patterns of the GuiTools UIs without the need to recompile any applications.
  

This section is a place where I can post all my various code for my projects.
Some of it might seem nearly identical to the end user,  or very similar to other versions.
I am posting it all to accomplish 2 goals: 1) share my code, 2) organize my stuff.
Hope you all enjoy it.

Terry's sprite library.  Like almost all his stuff, it's pretty self documenting.  I thought I'd preserve it here for the people who might want a copy of it.

I have been on and off writing "Untitled Rouge-like", basically it is a prototype rouge-like game. Currently it is a very early game with not much to do, but walk around the map. 

Movement is done by point and click and also zoom in and out with the scroll wheel.


If you want to look under the hood on how the maps are made you can download TILED map editor from https://www.mapeditor.org/


Since the are some size limitations on the forum, its posted on my github at https://github.com/mechatronic3000/Untitled-Rougelike

A simple set of two commands which can scroll the screen up or down for us, regardless of what screen mode we decide to use it in. Use the "U" and "D" keys in the demo to see how it works.
