# haxe-ui
  • a
    but i'm not sure if it matters
  • a
    cause i'm wondering if your implementation would actually be composite haxeui -> native composite godot
  • a
    if that makes sense?
  • e
    to make a composite backend, you just implement whatever methods it needs to draw the composite components, right?
  • e
    and then all the composite components should Just Work ™️
  • e
    but im not sure what the best way to "arbitrarily" draw stuff in godot is
  • e
    and also handling input could be a challenge
  • e
    but if i just use godots text input or button nodes for a haxeui input or button, i get mouse and keyboard input for free
  • a
    so the way you do it, is you take the common "visual" component
  • a
    and you draw to that
  • a
    ideally, that component will accept children to make it easier
  • a
    an 
    ComponentSurface
    is an 
    FlxSpriteGroup
    for flixel as an example
  • e
    but you have to actually be able to draw on something
  • a
    kind of, but not really
  • e
    like in a webbrowser you can draw on a canvas with javascript
  • a
    haxeui is really smart 😄
  • e
    although haxeui just uses divs in html5
  • a
    technically, all you really need to know how to draw are lines, boxes and colours
  • e
    yeah thats what i dont know how to do lol
  • e
    there doesnt seem to be a canvas node, and im not sure if godot exposes drawing methods for those
  • a
    lack of experience in godot, or not sure how to translate godot to haxeui?
  • l
  • l
    should be all there 🙂
  • e
    well im blind
  • a
    hey daz, how high level is godot?
  • e
    lol
  • l
    define high level
  • a
    is it like sdl/kha/lime or is it more like flixel/openfl
  • e
    it more like unity
  • e
    lol
