A lightweight, premium-styled UI framework for embedded systems and cross-platform applications, written in pure C with SDL2.
TensorUI is designed to provide a modern, responsive, and aesthetically pleasing interface for resource-constrained environments. It features a layout engine similar to modern web frameworks (VStack, HStack), advanced gesture support, and a flexible window management system.
- Modern Layouts: Flex-box inspired
VStackandHStackfor easy component positioning. - Premium Components: Includes Buttons, Labels, Sliders, Progress Bars, Toggles, and interactive Canvases.
- Custom Font Engine: Fast, specialized font rendering for crisp text.
- Window Management: Built-in stack-based window management for complex app navigation.
- HAL Layer: Clean Hardware Abstraction Layer for easy transplanting to different displays or input devices.
- Animated Toast System: Non-intrusive notification system.
The included TensorOS_Demo showcases the framework's capabilities:
- Snake Game: A classic arcade game utilizing touch/mouse direction control.
- Calculator: A fully functional arithmetic calculator.
- Digital Paint: An interactive canvas for free-hand drawing.
- System Settings: A complex nested interface with toggles and sliders.
- Language: C99
- Graphics & Input: SDL2
- Hardware Abstraction: Custom HAL for Screen, Input, Time, and Font operations.
