This is my first request, but I read for ages! Great place to explore!
I was asked to create a simple board game as a programming project this semester (using C ++) and implement a graphical interface for the bonus tag. I was pretty lost browsing through dozens of possible sets of GUI tools and not knowing which one to use. Iām rather a beginner, and this is my first big project!
My GUI requirements are very simple. All I want to do is let the user choose between two options at the start of the game. These parameters determine which character the user will choose in the game to play. This is the only input I want to get from the user. The console program will receive this input, interpret it and execute all the game logic in the console window.
Currently, the console window displays a numbered list of parameters for the user, who then selects the number and is based on this character input, the console knows what to do using some if-statements.
Until now, they told me that GTK + is a good option, and I was advised to check out wxWidgets and QT4. I was confused about which one to use, because I want to quickly learn something and just realize it, because the goal I want is also simple. I was also rather reluctant to start learning GUI tools from its basics, and then realized that it might not have my simple requirement.
Thanks in advance guys and sorry for the rather long post!
