chip-8 VS imgui

Did the same as there are so many CHIP-8 implementations out there... Code is a mess though: https://github.com/Slins-23/chip-8

A console is awesome, especially if working in a language where you can eval(), but it doesn't compare to what you can do in imgui. Colour pickers, histograms, curve editor. Dear Imgui supports windowing, so space is not a problem.

If your program doesn't need to conserve power, you can use Dear ImGUI, it's very easy to use and can run through most rendering APIs or graphic libraries. The Cherno on YouTube has some good videos on it to kickstart you

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but Dear ImGUI is kind of a gold standard within the AAA game development industry. It's MIT licensed and u/ocornut is one of the most helpful and coolest dudes in the open source world.

Take a look at dear imgui, https://github.com/ocornut/imgui.

C++ devs there is also bloat-free 'Dear ImGUI', nice for simple but also interesting user interfaces. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui

Not a 'native' feel and not for everybody, but a pleasure to use, in my opinion.

Imgui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) has always been my go to for this sort of thing. Its cross platform and pretty easy to get your head around, especially if you're not a UI kind of person.

https://github.com/ocornut/imgui - here you go ^.^, dear-imgui.

The only thing I could really think of is something like ImGui for C# (https://github.com/mellinoe/ImGui.NET) but I've never used it. It's going to give you some simple wrappers around ImGui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) but even this is going to lock you into the UI framework -- you can't just "draw a rectangle" per se and use it as a "control." Do note however this is an "immediate mode" GUI which is different from how most general desktop windowing systems work in "retained mode" (which are typically event driven, which saves on computing power to not draw the same stuff over and over).
