GUI Designer - Foundation (LowRes NX)

SP4CEBAR 2022-07-09 23:52 (Edited)

Type DOS commands to navigate the files
Type "GUI" and hit enter to open the GUI

The GUI is loaded from my Tree Data Structure which allows me to have many files stored in one data block

To edit the GUI, open the program source code, look for DATA and edit the MAP and the parameters (there are comments with labels)

A menu is a group of all GUI elements
The map is like an NX map except it stores only a GUI element ID on each cell
An element is anything from my GUI element collection that can be called by the map
A display is an element that can't be called by the map, and can only be called by an element, a counter is a display too (the name "display" is outdated)
A variable file is full of variables
A link file is full of links to link displays to the variables of elements
A call file is full of links to call displays from an element

This is the folder structure:
'- ROOT
'  - GLOBAL VARIABLES
'  - MENUS
'    - MENU 0
'      - F MENU DATA
'      - F MAP
'      - F BINARY VARIABLES (32 BYTES (FLEXIBLE: STARTS AT ELEMENT 0, GROWS WHEN E ADDED)
'      - ELEMENT DATA
'        - ELEMENT 0
'          - F ELEMENT DATA
'          - F VARIABLES
'          - F CALLS
'      - DISPLAYS
'        - DISPLAY 0
'          - F DISPLAY DATA
'          - F VARIABLES
'          - F LINKS

I spent way too many hours on this, I need a break
I greatly underestimated how much time it would take

Work in Progress
