Samples

The UI Framework

Declarative UI - Similar to SwiftUI, but also runs on Windows.

[!NOTE]
This UI framework is built for game development, not app development, and is designed to work on top of game engines.

A very simple glTF viewer

It reads glTF resources and renders with a graphics API similar to Apple’s Metal.

[!NOTE]
requires C++ Interoperability for reading glTF

👷 We still have a long way to go.
