GUI heavy games - what are my options

• webview

  68 11,993 8.5 C

  Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++. Uses WebKit (GTK/Cocoa) and Edge WebView2 (Windows).

  

You might consider webview which is a C++ single header, cross-platform webview library. It uses WebKit (on Mac and Linux) and Edge with Chromium backend (on Windows). Unlike CEF and Electron, since it uses each platforms native webview control, the resulting binary is kilobytes in size rather than hundreds of megabytes. They have a code example demonstrating how C++ and JavaScript can communicate. You could easily write the bulk of your game logic in C++ and use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for display only. Heck, since it's a full browser, you could even setup an NPM package for your game, bring in web dependencies if you wish, and code in a type-safe language that compiles to JavaScript, like TypeScript.

• RmlUi

  21 2,425 8.5 C++

  RmlUi - The HTML/CSS User Interface library evolved

There is a framework, RmlUI that allows you to specify your UI as HTML and a flavor of CSS. It's a descendant of the old libRocket library. There are some engines/frameworks, such as rbfx that integrate RmlUI as a UI option, and that support WebAssembly as a build path for web deployment, alongside traditional native .EXE build paths.

• rbfx

  Lightweight Game Engine/Framework in C++17 with WYSIWYG Editor. Experimental C# bindings.
