Looking forward to your feedback. This looks very promising. The embedded feature looks great.
Re: D + Qt + QtDesigner
Don't forget about UI automation too! That's a key feature people always seem to forget... (unless you require it).

Barbara Co-Founder of CopperSpice Hello Barbara, I guess it's not amazingly difficult if you have good experience with OpenGL, and SFML/SDL (there may be other libraries I've missed?). (I myself am not experienced in this but I am learning some of these things.) But of course, this will take a lot of time and hard work, and no one will be making a profit from it so it would be a purely volunteer/hobbyist project... As you might have seen the guy above me made an OpenGL-based GUI library, so it is possible! As one of the lead developers of CopperSpice I can assure you writing an effective, cross platform, thread aware, GUI library is indeed very complicated and time consuming. OpenGL does not handle font rendering, glyph shaping, or unicode text. All of these must be implemented to be a general purpose GUI library. OpenGL is not the only requirement for a GUI and actually not the hardest part. Handling events and reacting to user input is not part of OpenGL so it needs to be part of the GUI library. One of our CS libraries provides an OpenGL surface you can embed in a CopperSpice GUI application. We recently added a new library to support a Vulkan surface in a similar way. We are an open source project and I do not consider CopperSpice to be a hobby, but rather a community project. If anyone would like to learn more about the low level parts of a GUI please join our team and consider contributing to CopperSpice. Barbara

How hard was it in terms of general design, and how much math did you need to learn out of interest? The math is not that hard, as most of it depends on understanding specially the Model View Projection matrix, which you can find nice tutorials on internet. The rotation being the hardest part, although I did not use yet quaternions for that. The engine design I was quite experienced in abstraction development, though, almost for every platform I added, I needed to refactor a bit, the progress is fairly incremental, I really doubt one could write a design for it and after adding a couple of platforms and libraries, it being the same way as in the start. One must always remember that for an abstraction, you need to use the most complex/verbose as the rule, the simple/direct one will be basically automatic to implement. I believe the only code I yet need to touch again is the ErrorHandler, which I have it a bit underused as most of things just worked.

The DConf '22 videos are all done!
I've finally finished editing the DConf '22 videos. They're all
in the DConf '22 playlist on our YouTube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIldXzSkPUXVDzfnBlXcqZF6GB_ejjkEn
Links to the videos and the slides are available in the
description of each talk in the schedule:
https://dconf.org/2022/#schedule
I'm expecting the prerecorded DConf Online talks to start coming
in next week. I'll be working with the presenters to get them
prepped, uploaded, and scheduled for premiere (Dec 17 & 18) a few
days before the event. All the links, including those of the
livestreams, will be on the website at that time. I'll also post
them here in the forums and on Twitter the day of.
I've also updated some of the missing talk details for DConf
Online, including Walter's talk title ('A Spoonful of Syntactic
Sugar a.k.a. Understanding High Level Properties of D') and
abstract. The only thing that's missing now are the title and
abstract of Atila's talk.
https://dconf.org/2022/online/index.html#schedule
I also expect that I'll soon be able to publish the first video
in Dennis Korpel's tutorial series about contributing to the
compiler. He sent a draft to me at the end of October, and I
recommended a few edits. He's been busy this month finishing up
his degree, but we should be able to get the video uploaded
before too much longer.
