Hello,
Lua has never had a lot of options for making GUIs. I have used wxLua mainly
because its scintilla editor. When I wanted something smaller IUP lua was my
choice.
Recently trying to find a substitute for AntTweakBar (widgets in openGL
programing) I discovered imgui which has implementations for glfw, SDL and
others.
https://github.com/ocornut/imgui
My conclusion is that it is not only an API for game widgets but a real and
portable GUI system (there are even implementations for android)
My aproach has been
https://github.com/sonoro1234/cimgui/tree/lua_build
which only needs glfw as in
https://github.com/sonoro1234/LuaJIT-GLFW/tree/lua_building
minimal example
https://github.com/sonoro1234/cimgui/blob/lua_build/lua/minimal_main.lua
Hope it helps people looking for GUI alternatives
