Movie Browser Application "Film-Library"

This application is a graphical interface for viewing movies, with filtering and search capabilities, built using the SGG library. Users can browse a collection of movies, view their details, and apply filters to narrow down the search according to their preferences.

Description

The provided code creates an application where users can view movies in a graphical interface. Each movie contains details such as:

• Title
• Directors
• Cast
• Genre
• Year of release
• Duration
• Summary

The application includes filters for:

• Movie genre
• Year of release

Movies are organized in an interactive interface, where users can select filters and view corresponding movies that meet their criteria.

Files and Functions

The application consists of the following main parts:

1. Library.h / Library.cpp:

   • Contains the data structure that represents the movie library, including movies, filters, and various functions for initialization, searching, and applying filters.
   • Within this file, the structure of movies is defined, the library is created, movies are added, and filtering functionality is implemented based on genre or year.

2. Widgets.h / Widgets.cpp:

   • These files define the classes for various "widgets" (buttons, checkboxes, filters) responsible for displaying and interacting with the user.
   • Users can interact with the filters to narrow down the movies displayed on the screen.

3. Main.cpp:

   • The main code of the application that handles window creation, continuous updating, and redrawing of the graphical interface.
   • In the main() function, the application window is created, and updates and drawing are handled through the graphical environment.

4. Browser.h / Browser.cpp:

   • Defines the Browser class, which manages the main movie browser.
   • Includes methods for updating and displaying movies, as well as interacting with widgets and filters.

5. Graphics Library:

   • The graphics.h library is used to create the graphical environment and interact with the user.
   • The graphics canvas allows drawing widgets, movies, and scaling for better fitting to the screen.

Use of SGG

The application uses the SGG (Simple Game Graphics Library), which provides tools and methods for creating graphical interfaces and interacting with the user. In this particular case, SGG helps with:

• Window creation and graphics canvas management.
• Drawing interactive elements and applying scaling to fit the window.
• Handling interactions with widgets and filters.

The SGG library offers:

• Window and canvas creation.
• Management of updates and drawing operations.
• Interaction with widgets and filters.

Features

• Movie Browsing: Users can view all available movies.
• Filters: Users can filter movies by genre or year of release.
• Interaction: Through interactive buttons and checkboxes, users can select the filters they want.
• Graphical Presentation: The application uses a graphical interface to display the movies based on selected filters.

Prerequisites

To run the application, you need to have the graphics.h library and SGG installed and a compatible environment for running C++ applications. The application has been developed in C++ and requires a compatible environment for graphic execution.

Installation

1. Download the necessary project files (or clone the repository).
2. Install the graphics.h library and SGG in your development environment.
3. Compile the code using a tool like Visual Studio or through your preferred IDE.
4. Run the application and start interacting with the movies and filters!

Design and Operation

• The application uses a simple GUI that allows the user to browse through movies using buttons and checkboxes.
• Movies are organized in three rows in the graphical window.
• Filters for genre and year allow the user to narrow down the movies shown.
