Gondwana.Widgets

Gondwana.Widgets provides reusable UI and gameplay widgets for the Gondwana game engine, including menus, dialogs, labels, buttons, overlays, HUD elements, and other DirectDrawing-friendly 2D/2.5D game controls.

It builds on the core Gondwana rendering model and is intended for in-game interface elements rather than platform-native UI. Widgets are designed to render inside Gondwana scenes, views, and backbuffers using the same engine-driven drawing pipeline as the rest of the game.

Features

  • Reusable in-game UI widgets for Gondwana projects
  • DirectDrawing-friendly controls and overlays
  • Game-oriented components such as HUD elements, status bars, labels, dialogs, and menus
  • Code-first widget composition with no external editor or scene GUI required
  • Designed for 2D and 2.5D games using Gondwana's scene, view, and rendering systems
  • Cross-platform-friendly architecture through the core Gondwana rendering pipeline

Installation

dotnet add package Gondwana.Widgets

Usage

Add the package to your game project, then create and register widgets as part of your normal Gondwana scene or DirectDrawing setup.

Example:

using Gondwana.Widgets;

A typical widget can be used for in-game interface elements such as:

  • HUD overlays
  • Dialog boxes
  • Labels and text panels
  • Menu screens
  • Buttons and selectable options
  • Health bars and status indicators
  • NPC conversation boxes

Exact usage depends on the specific widget type being used.

Widget Scope

Gondwana.Widgets is intended for game UI, not operating-system UI.

Use it for interface elements that should appear inside the game world or game viewport, such as dialog boxes, overlays, HUDs, menus, and sprite-adjacent indicators.

For platform-specific hosting and application surfaces, use one of the hosting or adapter packages instead, such as:

  • Gondwana.WinForms
  • Gondwana.Avalonia
  • Gondwana.Blazor
