Just now I've been wondering how to should I implement an UI in small drawing application I'm working just on and this just pops up on my feed, you just made me realize I'm overcomplicating myself

I’m actually working on making my own ui for a scene editing tool I wrote for gunz the duel. Started out as imgui, then made wrapper classes, now I’ve got everything but text rendering. Still gotta make a font class. It’s proven very valuable to do it myself.

Using C++ lambdas as the delegates in retained mode UIs is handy; it provides some of the high cohesion that immediate mode has.

This sounds so much like the new C layout UI called clay

Damn, its like 4 minutes, but my brain is overheated already.

I’m Brazilian and “pika” is really a slang for penis in Brasil, LOL 😅

Amazing video

There is an interesting project (a bit old though) called Oui-Blendish that is a clone of an older Blender UI. It's still interesting, if for nothing else,
for the components NanoVG and OUI.

When it comes to programmatically handling and designing UIs, I’d say Java Swing is, in my opinion, the best organized and structured, and I
would definitely use it as the design reference for my UI library.

Bro, I love your videos!

Well well well

Your code is interesting. I used to code in similar fashion while working at my first job. Now I kinda lean more into Clean Code approach. Both have their own pros and cons. I also started digging into CMake lately. It's not this hard actually, I might get grasp of it. I made once my GUI but it was very newbie approach. I want to take on this task soon and see how much I improved, adding layers of abstraction and making more scalable, easier to read and work with approach. I respect work you did and knowledge, passion and skills you are sharing with others. Definitely one of those types who like to write my own tools and use them. I think it's common between C++ programmers.

Do you unit test what you write? Also, you made a lot of projects but do you plan on making something bigger, have your own purpose or you just enjoy process of making stuff and prototyping?

My solution for submenus is statemachine. Represent each state with a number. Or routine of each layout is abstracted into function and those functions used as a state.

Sushiiiii ❤❤❤

Ah yes, dear ImGUI.
Probably the most used ui library for debugging and in game dev tools.

Why "Spanish" is on the CC instead of Portuguese on the cat part 😭

I wrote my UI from scratch in C++ using OpenGL, OpenAL and encapsulating the system mouse and key events. I build a "menu" by first adding a group specifier(i.e. PAGE or LINE), then adding the items to that group. Groups behave like a basic layout. A "PAGE" group will layout items vertically and a "LINE" group will layout items horizontally. I can also specify alignment for the group or item level.  I only have a button, static-label and a scrollbar for controls.

I've made my own ui library from SDL2 (render, texture, surface ...) at work.
I only have buttons and labels, because it is only designed to control commands from touch screens or smartphones.
The main interest of my lib is the easy crosscompiling capabilities it offers because of its low dependancies (Sdl2 only). Moreover I am not concerned by lgpl of frameworks as if I've developped control gui with qt or winform

Yo i hope u make a video about a grouping system or layer system for a game engine. Btw this video is amazing yo

I'm inspired and also wanna create my own C++ game engine

I, too want me to learn this stuff but it just passes through me like radio waves.
