penguin-gui

An over-engineered Factorio GUI library

Features

Performance

Compiled penguin-gui templates run slightly faster than other GUI libraries due to not recursively reading the template data. This is probably not a useful difference unless you're rendering thousands of templates.

Flexibility

Use one template for many variations of the same component with parameters.

local component = {
    type = "label",
    caption = pgui.param 'caption'
}
local add_component = pgui.compile(component)

-- later...
add_component(gui, {caption = "hello, world!"})
add_component(gui, {caption = "how are you?"})
