FifeGUI
FifeGUI is a lightweight, cross-platform C++ GUI library designed for games.
It offers a simple but powerful set of customizable widgets, allowing users to create a wide range of widget types.
It supports rendering in SDL or OpenGL out of the box and it can be adapted to use any rendering engine the user requires.
Events are pushed to FifeGUI, letting users choose their preferred input library or use its built-in SDL input handling.
The main goal of FifeGUI is to remain lightweight, extendable, and powerful enough to be used in any type of game.
