cocos2d-x-imgui

This project is ImGui binding for cocos2d-x, with most things bind to lua.

Currently it works with cocos2d-x 4.0 and ImGui docking branch. Branch v3 can work with cocos2d-x 3.x, but will not be maintained.

How to use

• Include headers.

#include "CCImGuiLayer.h"

• Add ImGui layer (usually on top).

std::string layerName = "ImGUILayer";
auto order = INT_MAX;
auto layer = ImGuiLayer::create();
Director::getInstance()->getRunningScene()->addChild(layer, order, layerName);

• Keep the layer when scene changes.

auto e = Director::getInstance()->getEventDispatcher();
auto detached = false;
e->addCustomEventListener(Director::EVENT_BEFORE_SET_NEXT_SCENE, [&](EventCustom*){
	layer = dynamic_cast<ImGuiLayer*>(Director::getInstance()->getRunningScene()->getChildByName(layerName));
	if (layer) {
		layer->retain();
		layer->removeFromParent();
		detached = true;
	}
});
e->addCustomEventListener(Director::EVENT_AFTER_SET_NEXT_SCENE, [&](EventCustom*){
	if (layer && detached) {
		Director::getInstance()->getRunningScene()->addChild(layer, order, layerName);
		layer->release();
		detached = false;
	}
});

• Use ImGui.

// enable docking
auto& io = ImGui::GetIO();
io.ConfigFlags |= ImGuiConfigFlags_DockingEnable;
auto sp = Sprite::create("filename.png");
layer->addChild(sp);
// add ui callbacks
CCIMGUI::getInstance()->addCallback([=](){
	ImGui::Text("Hello, world!");
	// create button with Sprite, auto pushID / popID with texture id
	CCIMGUI::getInstance()->imageButton(sp, ImVec2(0, 0));
}, "hello");
// remove ui callbacks to stop rendering
CCIMGUI::getInstance()->removeCallback("hello");
// add chinese font
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("path/to/font.ttf", 16.0f, 0, io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesChineseFull());

• Enable lua binding.

#include "lua-bindings/imgui_lua.hpp"
auto L = LuaEngine::getInstance()->getLuaStack()->getLuaState();
luaopen_imgui(L);

• Use in lua. Note that all functions are start with a lower letter. The lua_doc folder contains docs for lua, just include it to your lua IDE (docs are in EmmyLua format). The lua_src folder contains helpers and wrappers for lua development.
  • Without helper

   local ret, buf, float = nil, '', 0
   imgui.draw = function()
   	-- new window
   	if imgui.begin("Window From Lua") then
   		-- text
   		imgui.text("Hello, World!")
   		-- text button
   		imgui.button("text button")
   		-- input text
   		ret, buf = imgui.inputText("input", buf)
   		-- slider
   		ret, float = imgui.sliderFloat("float", float, 0, 8)
   		-- end window
   		imgui.endToLua()
   	end
   end
   -- check error somewhere
   if imgui.error then
   	error(imgui.error)
   end

  • With helper

   require('imgui.__init__')
   local wi = require('imgui.Widget')
   local im = imgui
   local la = im.on()
   local sp = cc.Sprite:create('filename.png'):setVisible(false)
   la:addChild(sp) -- retain sprite
   local flags = im.WindowFlags.HorizontalScrollbar
   local content = wi.Widget(function()
   	imgui.text("Hello, World!")
   	im.image(sp)
   end)
   la:addChild(wi.Window('Window From Lua', nil, flags)
   	:addChild(content)
   	:addChild(wi.TreeNode('Tree')
   		:addChild(wi.Text('text', cc.c3b(255, 0, 0), 'bullet'))
   		:addChild(im.sameLine)
   		:addChild(wi.Button('button'))
   		:addChild(im.separator)
   		:addChild(wi.Checkbox('checkbox'))
   	)
   )
