include "bin/core.pixi"
include "bin/layers.pixi"
include "bin/release_buttons.pixi"

counter = 0

UI = create_abstract_layer(2) // create ui array with 2 elements
// create left button
UI[0] = create_button_activated_by_release_with_text(
    -80, 40, // button center position on screen
    80, 80, // button size
    {
        counter - 1
    }, // on click sub from counter 1
    "-" // button label
)

// create right button
UI[1] = create_button_activated_by_release_with_text(
    80, 40,
    80, 80,
    {
        counter + 1
    }, // on click add to counter 1
    "+" // button label
)

fn gl_callback($u){
    // enter to gl draw mode
    set_screen(GL_SCREEN)
    // clear screen with black
    clear()
    // draw buttons
    UI.draw(UI)

    // create temporary string
    $ts = ""
    // write counter value
    sprintf($ts, "%d", counter)

    t_push_matrix()
    t_translate(0, -40, 0)
    t_scale(2,2,1)
    print($ts) // draw scaled text
    t_pop_matrix()
    // exit from gl mode
    set_screen(0)
}

// set draw callback
set_gl_callback(gl_callback, 0)

while(1) { // main loop
    while(get_event()) { // event loop
        // fast quit on QUIT event
        if EVT[EVT_TYPE] == EVT_QUIT {
            halt
        }
        check_mouse_and_touches_events(UI)
    }
    // draw on screen
    frame()
