CyberUI - Sci-Fi Tactical Component Library for Lazarus

About CyberUI

CyberUI is a highly optimized, cyberpunk-themed visual component library for the Lazarus IDE and Free Pascal. Designed specifically for tactical dashboards, system monitors, and "Visual Operator" simulation games, it relies on pure mathematical rendering (Trigonometry and Polylines) via BGRABitmap. This guarantees maximum stability without relying on fragile, version-dependent rendering functions.

  • Standalone Rendering: Built entirely from scratch using native geometry for bulletproof compilation.
  • Dynamic Theme Engine: Switch globally between "Neon Cyan", "Crimson Protocol", and "Retro Amber" instantly.
  • Rule-Based Ready: Designed to visualize local, rule-based logic engines with immediate visual feedback.

Included Components

The package equips your IDE with 18 specialized components ready to be dropped into your interface:

Component Category Included Controls Description
Data Streams TCyberTerminal, TCyberHexDump Interactive text consoles and raw hex memory stream simulators with CRT effects.
Tactical Systems TCyberRadar, TCyberReticle Sweeping radar scanners and rotating HUD targeting crosshairs.
Energy & Signals TCyberPowerCore, TCyberWaveform Pulsing energy reactor indicators and dynamic audio/signal equalizers.
Strategic Maps TCyberHexGrid Interactive hexagonal node maps for network topology or tactical grids.
Input & Controls TCyberKnob, TCyberProgressBar Draggable rotary dials and segmented loading bars for manual resource allocation.
Typography TCyberGlitchLabel, TCyber7Seg Distorted title labels and classic mechanical 7-segment digital displays.
Structural TCyberPanel, TCyberDivider, etc. Core layout elements with glowing, chamfered futuristic aesthetics.

Installation

  1. Install the BGRABitmap library via the Online Package Manager in Lazarus.
  2. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
  3. Open the Lazarus IDE and go to Package -> Open Package File (.lpk).
  4. Navigate to the repository's src/ folder and select cyberui.lpk.
  5. Click Compile, then click Use -> Install.
  6. Allow Lazarus to rebuild the IDE. The components will now appear under the "CyberUI" tab in your Component Palette.

The PANOPTICON Demo

Included in the demo/ directory is Project PANOPTICON, a master MVP demonstrating an autonomous network defense dashboard. Open Panopticon.lpi to see the components reacting in real-time to a simulated anomaly engine. Click the main "PANOPTICON" title while the demo is running to cycle through the built-in color themes.
