yufu-onship/a_silky_smooth_ui_for_love2d

This is a UI framework for LOVE2D, an open-source 2D game engine written in Lua. It gives developers a set of ready-made graphical interface components that animate smoothly and respond to keyboard input without any extra setup. The core feature is keyboard-only navigation. A player moves through buttons, sliders, and option pickers using arrow keys or WASD, then presses Enter to activate the selected item. Every visual change, including the movement of a highlight box, the fill of a progress bar, or text appearing one character at a time, uses easing curves so nothing snaps abruptly. A key-recording component can capture up to two keys at once, which is useful for letting players remap their controls. Ten components are included from the start: a button with idle and hover states, a plain text label, a progress bar adjustable with the left and right arrow keys, a multi-option switcher with a typewriter animation, the key recorder, a composite volume control pairing a label with a progress bar, two container types for arranging elements in grids or proportional columns, a simple layout wrapper, and the animated selection box. All components share the same API methods for setting position, size, and state, so the interface is consistent throughout. To get started, install LOVE2D version 11.x, clone the repository, and run the project with the command "love ." from the project folder. There is no complex configuration required. The README is written in both Chinese and English, and the project is new, created in July 2026 with a small number of stars.
