CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

I had to learn FMOD and CEGUI, so I decided to make Winamp!

It started out small, but it was so fun I decided to add more and more features. I ended up with an almost complete Winamp clone, driven completely by the falagard system and Lua script.

I love CEGUI and Lua, you can make just about anything with it.

Here's a list of features:
- play, stop, pause, next, prev buttons
- play bar slider for seeking
- volume slider
- real-time spectrum graph
- OS independant file open dialog
- playlist

What I used:
- CEGUI
- Lua
- custom tolua++ bindings
- Ogre3d
- FMOD Ex
- LuaFileSystem

Nice work you did there. Is it going to be available to the public at some time cause I would love to try this thing out

Wow! Looks impressive

Did you make a custom widget for the graph (the green/red bars)?

Well done!

That looks great Very nice work indeed.

CE.

The graph is a static image widget which uses an Ogre dynamic texture. I render the graph every frame based off the spectrum data FMOD returns.

I'll see what I can do


Thanks everyone, I'm not sure how practical having a built-in Winamp is, but it's still pretty cool.

Ok, so I decided to clean it up a little and release a little demo of MonkeyAmp for those who'd like to play around with it.

Most of the basic Winamp functionality is in, so it should be easy to figure out. To delete a song from the playlist, click the item in the list and then hit the delete key. Everything else is pretty self explanatory.

If your a developer and you're interested in how I made it, it's all in lua scripts with some custom tolua++ bindings and layout.xml files. You can find all those files in the interface directory if you'd like a peek.


I wish some games had something like this built in. It's not very hard to set up and it would prevent Alt-Tabbing while playing. It would be perfect for MMORPGS
