Trying to replicate Panorama UI ?

[cron1155]

I think the best course for this project in my opinion is to replicate the panorama UI features .
More info's here :

Looks interesting, thanks for the feedback. Anything in particular you are suggesting from this project?

On a related note, you should take a look at #83 which was just merged. It contains a model-view-controller approach similar to the one in Panorama by the looks of it.

Yeah #83 looks good.
A suggestion is to make the API a bit easier to use with a custom scripting language like (JS (Duktape)) or a programming like C# . Like implementing RmlUI in Unity or other engine will make the things more powerful.

A bit more about Panorama

I know @uniquejack has been working on Duktape integration. So there are some efforts in this direction (and we already have Lua support of course). C# bindings and other languages would be nice. It's a bit too much work for me to handle now, but I would very much be interested in an effort from the community :)

Otherwise Panorama looks like a nice library to find some inspiration.

Writing C# bindings isn't hard but integrating those bindings in a engine like Unity is a bit harder.
I know how to wrap RmlUI but i don't have any idea how to render the UI in a engine like unity , if is understandable what I mean.

I don't know about the c# wrappings, but it shouldn't be that hard to render the geometry on unity

Does RmlUI support rendering textures ?

[mikke89]

Rendering to textures can easily be done on the user side, as RmlUi hands over all rendering calls directly to the user. Eg. in OpenGL you would just bind a framebuffer with a texture target before calling Context::Render().
