  • nuklear-quickdraw

    quickdraw backend for nuklear (https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear)

  • - nuklear quickdraw: https://github.com/CamHenlin/nuklear-quickdraw - nuklear back end for quickdraw. Too slow for 68000-based system unfortunately. I think this would be fine for targeting an 020 system however. Looks and functions really nice so it's unfortunate that it's a bit too slow.

  • microui-quickdraw

    quickdraw implementation for microui

  • - micro UI quickdraw:https://github.com/CamHenlin/microui-quickdraw - similar to the nuklear backend, a micro UI backend. Also too slow for 68000-based systems but was an easy test after writing the nuklear back end, so why not?
