imgui

Author here. The most recent change is that I started adding debugging UIs to the emulators, using the excellent Dear ImGui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui). The UI is in a separate version of the emulator, launched with the little "UI" button in the top right corner of the image panels (e.g. https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/kc85-ui.html?type=kc85_4). The UI is updated once per 60Hz frame, so you only see a per-frame snapshot of the microchip pins which on its own isn't that useful yet except for a nice blinkenlight effect, but it will make a lot more sense once a step-debugging window is added. This will let you inspect the pins after each CPU instruction (still not as accurate as the emulation, which is running with machine-cycle granularity on Z80, and clock-cycle granularity on 6502 machines. The emulators are written in C(99), wit

It’s a library for making windows, buttons, etc (called widgets), for windows Linux and macOS. If you’d like to make graphical applications though, I recommend immediate mode frameworks https://youtu.be/Z1qyvQsjK5Y https://github.com/ocornut/imgui https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear

You should escalate in difficulty levels. GPU Programming is infinite and will always take more of your time than you plan. With escalation you could get positive feedback fast. 2D image filtering is extremely complex for a beginner. Start drawing a graph of thousands of numbers with the CPU. Easy enough, but harder than it looks. Accelerate the graph with the GPU so it has smooth animation, moving, zooming... Easy enough but way harder that it looks. Take a sound sample, uncompress it and visualize in your graph system. Easy? Take the sample and filter it with CUDA. Way easier filtering a 1D sample than 2D samples. Play the filtered sound to "feel it". Then you can filter 2D images if you want. I recommend the graphic interface Dear Imgui: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/1902 Way faster developmen

React isn't really anything like 90s UI libraries. It is, however, very much like the fairly recent native immediate-mode GUIs that have come out (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui, https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/conrod, etc). The core feature of React is that your UI is a pure function of your application state. In (e.g.) the Win32 UI, you would receive events, and then need to manually transition your current UI state to the new UI state (hide this button, disable this input, etc).

For imgui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/) and uklear (https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear), docs are basically unnecessary. You just have to look at the examples/demos and copy pasta. Immediate mode GUIs are great.

I am surprised that ocornut/imgui [1] is not mentioned anywhere here. I used it for an admin interface in a past project. The author makes it a point to do work on the library based on donations (such as from Patreon, or PayPal). I suppose that's the main reason the project is alive and kicking today. OpenSource projects that are somehow financed - are in a much better situation than projects done on a spare time budget. --- [1] https://github.com/ocornut/imgui

Everyone complaining about the state of UI development should give Dear Imgui (and similar immediate mode UIs) a whirl. It may not yet be the right solution for all types of UIs, but it makes creating UIs fun again and the productivity is astonishing. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui Checkout the screenshot threads https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/1607 Especially desktop apps like this look interesting: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/1607#issuecomment-37... And it's small enough to work well with WebAssembly: https://floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/wasm/imgui-emsc.html

This is a good one too: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui
