Dear community,

can I ask you to up vote a feature request on Github ?
I have read about GUI feature requests many times in the past .
And I think we are now as close as never before to get a good and consistent GUI solution.

I commented this on Github:
jan610 wrote: "It makes totally sense to implement the Immediate Mode GUI, used for the IDE, into AGKS.
As Imgui's are a good solution for game/editor menus.
Dear Imgui is one of the feature richest imgui's out there it's multi platform and there is OpenGL and Vulkan support.
The ease of use which comes along with an Imediate mode system fits well with AGK's ability to make quick prototypes.
A GUI system is requested very often and the best method is to implement one right into AppGameKit as we then can share code without linking to other source code.
You/We have a good programmer who already knows the the gimmicks of Dear Imgui.

It's a Match !"


Once the IDE is ready I don't even want the question to arise for TGC if we need a GUI system or not.
So vote now !
Feature request: Please provide AppGameKit Studio UI kit as a module / command set for AppGameKit itself

I also don't want to flood them with too many unimportant requests I really think this is a good opportunity to implement a GUI system. (Well and Oclusion culling )
Also I/we don't really know what they have planed for AGKS already. Anyhow, now they know it from us
There was one guy who wrote an imgui system in DBPro and I really liked it.
Some say they don't like Imediate mode because it draws everything every time kind of but I guess nowadays it desen't matter too much
and in a game we can have many widgets updating/moving at the same time which, in the traditional retained mode GUI, would be at least equally performance intensive.

Vote up, it's an interesting feature request in my honest opinion.

Thanks Janbo

I remember BlueGUI for DBPro and used it a lot for game editor I think leveraging AGKS IDE gui and put it back into the language would be stellar.

BlueGUI was a wrapper of one of windows retained mode GUIs (wild accusation here )
I think the one I mean was TopGUI by Diggsey

I'm pretty sure the IDE is made in C++ so you can say it's Tier 2.
If it is Tier 1 then the request would be unnecessary

What functionality is there that you cannot replicate in Tier1?

I think your question doesn't fit to my sentence (might I be wrong in the first place ?)
I meant that if it is Tier 1 then we don't need to request a GUI system as there would be one already obviously.
It would be awesome if it actually is Tier 1 which is possible, but I highly doubt it.
Dear ImGUI is made in C++
TGC is doing their stuff in C++
Preben can do stuff in C++
So the IDE will be in C++

I thought Preben said somewhere that AppGameKit Studio stuff is coded in AGK.
