Without getting into a debate on the usability of the UI or personal opinions, I was wondering what was used to create the GMS2 UI.
I really like the aesthetics, and the the way the UI sort of flows and reacts - sliding panels, dockable windows that can be moved and attached anywhere, the workspaces, tabs etc - I just really like the way the UI handles everything and feels smooth - again not wanting a debate on usability, just talking about the core backend UI mechanics.
So I looked around and found the "Licences" option in the Help menu, and noticed ANGLE and jQuery listed in there as libraries used.
Is the UI just a HTML canvas wrapped into a window?
I thought maybe Qt was used but I didn't see it listed in the Licenses section, although I seem to remember one of the C languages being mentioned as being used to write it - C++ or C# maybe?
Any info appreciated which could help me go in the right direction to getting the right tools and libraries to learn to create something similar (to the UI look / feel, not GMS2!) for an application I want to write.
Obviously YYG staff would be best placed to answer this, but if anyone else knows anything from previous threads or info they have learnt elsewhere please let me know!
Mods: Move this if you think it's in the wrong place, it seemed the most appropriate forum to ask about it.
Cheers.
