GUI Interface. #14

Open aniketpanjwani opened 6 years ago

aniketpanjwani commented 6 years ago
Steps to reproduce the problem:

There is no GUI interface.

Any other comments? What have you tried so far?

I've never created a GUI. The main options for potential frameworks are Toga, Kivy, and PyQt.

If you've got any thoughts on how to choose between them, I would greatly appreciate it.

System information

Operating system: (e.g. Linux Mint 18)

I have only used wxPython once. I imagine that chomper would not need a fancy GUI, so maybe choose a lightweight framework or something with high fun factor? You create also create a web ui.

But yeah, others might have better suggestions.

Thanks Miheer - I missed wxPython. I agree that Chomper doesn't need a fancy GUI. I'm probably going to decide by trying to write a very simple implementation and seeing which I like best. I'm leaning towards PyQt5, but I'm open to suggestions.

I think it's also important to keep in mind the ease of packaging when thinking about choosing any particular GUI framework.

Agreed. There is also tkinter if you don't want external dependencies.
