Week 3

In this week I aim to make some minor amendments to the code backend but mainly revamp the GUI to be more simple and intuitive.

Previously, I had the code check the min value was in range in my create_building function. I have found that maya input fields all have min, max, and default values that can be set.

Additionally, I have added a menu to window using this code:

In the window initialisation, I provide the "menuBar" flag and add a menu with some items.

Next I added a check box as I was often having to delete the items in the scene before generating a new city. Using the checkbox, I bundle that functionality into one easy click.

Here is the implementation for the checkbox in the create_buildings function:

I also discovered the use of separators which let me space out items in the GUI and create a division. Below is the code for my new GUI:

I make use of parenting to control which labels are attached to which sections.

• Add road/pavement functionality to the script (and integrate with the GUI)
