Hello! This page contains some tips on how to create cool designs with Basalt
To understand this page, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with [Animations](../objects/Animation.md) as animations are important for creating cool looking designs
## Animation-move
Here i will show you how you can move objects by using the animation object.
```lua
local basalt = require("basalt")
local main = basalt.createFrame()
local sub = main:addFrame():setSize("parent.w - 2",12):setPosition("-parent.w",4)
sub:addLabel()
:setText("Cool Title")
:setBackground(colors.black)
:setForeground(colors.lightGray)
:setSize("parent.w", 1)
local button = sub:addButton()
:setBackground(colors.black)
:setForeground(colors.lightGray)
:setPosition(-12,9)
local button2 = sub:addButton()
:setBackground(colors.black)
:setForeground(colors.lightGray)
:setPosition("parent.w + 12",9)
local anim = main:addAnimation()
:setObject(sub)
:move(2,4,1.5)
:setObject(button)
:move(2,9,1,1.5)
:setObject(button2)
:move(sub:getWidth()-12,9,1,1.5)
:play()
basalt.autoUpdate()
```
As you can see, you only need 1 animation but you can still move 3 objects.
## Animation-offset
Here is a example which changes the offset on your base frame. It shows you, how you could create multiple pages and switch between them in a cool looking way:
```lua
local basalt = require("basalt")
local main = basalt.createFrame()
local mainAnim = main:addAnimation()
local frames = {
main:addFrame():setPosition(1,2):setSize("parent.w", "parent.h-1"):setBackground(colors.lightGray),
main:addFrame():setPosition("parent.w+1",2):setSize("parent.w", "parent.h-1"):setBackground(colors.lightGray),
main:addFrame():setPosition("parent.w*2+1",2):setSize("parent.w", "parent.h-1"):setBackground(colors.lightGray),
main:addFrame():setPosition("parent.w*3+1",2):setSize("parent.w", "parent.h-1"):setBackground(colors.lightGray),
}
frames[1]:addLabel():setText("This is frame 1")
frames[2]:addLabel():setText("This is frame 2")
frames[3]:addLabel():setText("This is frame 3")
frames[4]:addLabel():setText("This is frame 4")
local menubar = main:addMenubar():ignoreOffset()
:addItem("Page 1",nil,nil,1)
:addItem("Page 2",nil,nil,2)
:addItem("Page 3",nil,nil,3)
:addItem("Page 4",nil,nil,4)
:setSpace(3)
:setSize("parent.w",1)
:onChange(function(self, value)
mainAnim:clear()
:cancel()
:setObject(main)
:offset(value.args[1] * main:getWidth() - main:getWidth(), 0, 2)
:play()
end)
basalt.autoUpdate()
```
## Visually showing
Here I'll show you how to visually show the user when something isn't working. this is just one example that you can apply to other topics as well.
```lua
local basalt = require("basalt")
local password = "12345"
local main = basalt.createFrame()
main:addLabel():setText("Password:"):setPosition(2,2)
local input = main:addInput():setInputType("password"):setPosition(2,3):setSize(24,1)
local submit = main:addButton():setPosition(2,5):setText("Submit")
submit:onClick(basalt.schedule(function()
if(password==input:getValue())then
basalt.debug("Password correct!")
else
basalt.debug("Wrong password!")
submit:setBackground(colors.red)
sleep(0.05)
submit:setPosition(3,5)
sleep(0.05)
submit:setPosition(2,5)
sleep(0.05)
submit:setPosition(1,5)
sleep(0.05)
submit:setPosition(2,5)
submit:setBackground(colors.gray)
end
end))
basalt.autoUpdate()
```
