Legacy UI - Set and Forget Interfaces for GameMaker

Originally created for Starr Mazer: DSP, the Legacy UI System is a versatile toolkit for creating responsive user interfaces. Designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind, LUI empowers developers to easily integrate customizable UI elements into their games and apps, saving time and effort while delivering adaptive experiences.

Key Features:

Modular Design: Build UI layouts with relative ease using modular child/parent components such as images, text, integrated surfaces, buttons, tabs, panels, checkboxes, radio buttons, and more. Component hierarchy allows for easy grouping of UI elements.

Customizable Styles: Tailor the look and feel of your UI elements with customizable properties like sprite_indexes, animations, size, color, font, alignment, positional pinning, width and height spanning, and more.

Responsive Layouts: Create responsive UI layouts that adapt to different screen sizes and aspect ratios for seamless cross-platform compatibility using x and y positional pinning and spanning.

LUI was originally a very simple solution for displaying images and text on screen for an arcade game, but as LemonToast Game's needs grow, so too will LUI. New features are being implemented, and will be uploaded here for all to use.
