libGumball is a modern UI library written in C23, built on top of libGimbal to provide an ergonomic way to create user interfaces in pure C. Designed primarily for video game development, it leverages libGimbal's powerful property system, dynamic type system, and other capabilities to make UI building intuitive, efficient, and performant.

First, ensure submodules are installed with:

git submodule update --init --recursive

To build the project from the command-line, you can do the following:

mkdir -P build
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build --parallel

You can optionally pass -DGUM_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON if you wish to build the examples, like so:

mkdir -P build
cmake -S . -B build -DGUM_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON
cmake --build build --parallel

The resulting example programs will be under build/examples/

This library is meant to be included as a submodule of your own project. From your project root directory, run:

git submodule add git@github.com:haikuno/libgumball.git libgumball
git submodule update --init --recursive

Then, in your CMakeLists.txt file, add the following:

add_subdirectory(libgumball)
target_link_libraries(yourproject libGumball)
