LS Button (short for LoomSoft Button) is a C++ class to create bitmap imaged "buttons"; written to be used in conjunction with the Allegro Game Programming Library.

LS Button offers a wide range of functions which can be used to manipulate and create buttons. Most of all, it is fully customizable, and allows for the user to use any bitmap and/or sound of their choice to be used as the visual appearance of a button.

LS Button is a completely open-source freeware class. It consists of a simple header and source file combination. No libraries are required to be downloaded. Simply add the files to your allegro project, and start using them right away.

Quick Feature List:
-Custom bitmaps for each button "instance"
-Custom sounds for each button "instance"
-Only use bitmaps and sound if you want. You have the option to use neither (although a button won't be very effective if you can't see it)!
-Option of bounding-box or pixel-perfect "collision detection"
-Manipulate the bounding box
-Manipulate the pixel perfect "detection" color
-Turn buttons "on" or "off"
-Use buttons within an "allegro style" timer (ie: logic and drawing functions are separate from eachother)
-Two different methods of actual "button click" detection.
