UI Kit for LÖVE

Overview

Yaoui is a user interface (UI) kit designed specifically for the LÖVE game framework, aimed at developers looking for a swift and efficient way to create aesthetically pleasing UI without delving into complex customizations. While it's important to note that this project is no longer maintained or updated, it still offers a set of intuitive features that simplify the UI development process. The kit leverages a clean, structured approach with primary elements that help streamline layout organization.

The framework is built around three main components: views, stacks, and flows, which together provide a versatile system for structuring UI elements. Each component serves a unique purpose, allowing developers to create flexible and visually appealing designs with minimal effort. The idea behind yaoui is to strike a balance between ease of use and functionality, enabling developers to focus on creating engaging user experiences.
