libRocket is gone for good so it's time to move to another UI library.

Requirements:

  • open source and GPL3 compatible
  • OpenGL friendly and graphics backend agnostic
  • with minimal dependencies, possibly self-contained
  • fast and bloat-free
  • with good docs, examples, and an active comunity
  • cross platform (Linux + Windows at least)

Nice to have:

  • HTML / CSS based
  • with C++11 lambdas callbacks

Here's a list of all available UI libs: https://philippegroarke.com/posts/2018/c++_ui_solutions/

Looking at that list, libRocket is still the best candidate, except for the "fast" and "active comunity" points...

RmlUi is a promising fork of libRocket.
It added many new features like animations and transforms and it's currently evolving. Still in a beta state but it can become the new open-source HTML/CSS GUI middleware.

Maybe there will be no need to move to another lib!
