This is pretty cool. I have a small suggestion though: The first scenario you showcased, could leave you with objects, which are not part of the scene-tree, resulting in inconsistent behaviour, if you do not call CreateSceneObject. I would suggest to have a callback-system like a ObjectCreated-hook built into the engine, which the editor then could use to automatically call CreateSceneObject with the new object. It makes for one less gotcha you need to watch for when writing scripts and imho better reflects the intention of the scene-browser as a way to see ALL objects in the scene. Also I can imagine this hook to be beneficial for other use cases. Of course, there would need to be a way to retrieve the scene-object for a given object, as well, since the user is not generating the element themselves anymore and thus does not have a reference if they need it (e.g. for selecting the object as in the example).

I believe the one you need is the c_cpp_properties.json (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/c-cpp-properties-schema-reference, https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-linux#_cc-configurations). There is an "includePath" setting there, which you will probably need to set correctly.

You can put everything into one line: sudo apt install build-essential libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxft-dev libxcursor-dev No need to retype the password if one of the installations takes longer and only one command to copy

Also when trying it with subfolders, I noticed, you may need to have the subfolders created automatically in your build-directory: OBJS = $(shell find . -type f -name "*.cpp" | sed s/.cpp/.o/) OBJS_DEBUG=$(foreach obj,$(OBJS),./.build/Debug/$(obj)) OBJS_RELEASE=$(foreach obj,$(OBJS),./.build/Release/$(obj)) CC = g++ FLAGS_DEBUG = -w -c -Wall -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/fontconfig -I./.build/Debug/ -D_ULTRA_APPKIT FLAGS_RELEASE = -w -c -Wall -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/fontconfig -I./.build/Release/ -D_ULTRA_APPKIT LFLAGS = -no-pie -lm -lX11 -lpthread -lXft -lXext -lXrender -lXcursor -lrt -ldl OUT = AppKit all: debug release debug: $(OBJS_DEBUG) $(CC) $(CONFIGFLAGS) $(OBJS_DEBUG) -o $(OUT) $(LFLAGS) release: $(OBJS_RELEASE) $(CC) $(CONFIGFLAGS) $(OBJS_RELEASE) -o $(OUT) $(LFLAGS) ./.build/Debug/%.o: %.cpp mkdir -p $(@D) $(CC) $(FLAGS_DEBUG) $(CONFIGFLAGS) $< -o $@ ./.build/Release/%.o: %.cpp mkdir -p $(@D) $(CC) $(FLAGS_RELEASE) $(CONFIGFLAGS) $< -o $@ clean: rm -f $(OBJS_DEBUG) $(OBJS_RELEASE) $(OUT) This should now make for a pretty low-maintenance Makefile for your purposes

And for the topping (as I just found out): If you have want to have .o-files for every .cpp file in your directory, you can even generate the list more easily: OBJS = $(shell find . -type f -name "*.cpp" | sed s/.cpp/.o/) OBJS_DEBUG=$(foreach obj,$(OBJS),./.build/Debug/$(obj)) OBJS_RELEASE=$(foreach obj,$(OBJS),./.build/Release/$(obj))

Actually it turns out, there is an easy way for modifying the list of objects, which means, you don't need to hardcode the OBJS_DEBUG and OBJS_RELEASE-list. Instead you can do the following: OBJS = ./AppKit.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/GMFSDK.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/MemReader.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/MemWriter.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/TextureInfo.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/Utilities.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/half/half.o ./Libraries/s3tc-dxt-decompressionr/s3tc.o ./Libraries/stb_dxt/stb_dxt.o ./Classes/Object.o ./Classes/Math/Math_.o ./Classes/Math/Vec2.o ./Classes/Math/Vec3.o ./Classes/Math/Vec4.o ./Classes/Math/iVec2.o ./Classes/Math/iVec3.o ./Classes/Math/iVec4.o ./Classes/String.o ./Classes/WString.o ./Classes/Display.o ./Classes/IDSystem.o ./Classes/JSON.o ./Functions.o ./Classes/GUI/Event.o ./Classes/GUI/EventQueue.o ./Classes/Language.o ./Classes/FileSystem/Stream.o ./Classes/FileSystem/BufferStream.o ./Classes/FileSystem/FileSystemWatcher.o ./Classes/GameEngine.o ./Classes/Clock.o ./Classes/Buffer.o ./Classes/GUI/Interface.o ./Classes/GUI/Widget.o ./Classes/GUI/Panel.o ./Classes/GUI/Slider.o ./Classes/GUI/Label.o ./Classes/GUI/Button.o ./Classes/GUI/TextField.o ./Classes/GUI/TreeView.o ./Classes/GUI/TextArea.o ./Classes/GUI/Tabber.o ./Classes/GUI/ListBox.o ./Classes/GUI/ProgressBar.o ./Classes/GUI/ComboBox.o ./Classes/GUI/Menu.o ./Classes/Window/LinuxWindow.o ./Classes/Timer.o ./Classes/Process.o ./Classes/FileSystem/StreamBuffer.o ./Classes/Multithreading/Thread.o ./Classes/Multithreading/Mutex.o ./Classes/Loaders/Loader.o ./Classes/Loaders/DDSTextureLoader.o ./Classes/Assets/Asset.o ./Classes/Plugin.o ./Classes/Assets/Font.o ./Classes/FileSystem/Package.o ./Classes/Graphics/Pixmap.o ./Classes/Graphics/Icon.o ./Libraries/CppTimer/CppTimer.o OBJS_DEBUG=$(foreach obj,$(OBJS),./.build/Debug/$(obj)) OBJS_RELEASE=$(foreach obj,$(OBJS),./.build/Release/$(obj))

You can just change the rule to say `.build/Debug/%.o: %.cpp` and unfortunately you have to add this path everywhere in the OBJS-list: OBJS = ./.build/Debug/AppKit.o ./.build/Debug/Libraries/PluginSDK/GMFSDK.o ./.build/Debug/Libraries/PluginSDK/MemReader.o ./.build/Debug/Libraries/PluginSDK/MemWriter.o ./.build/Debug/Libraries/PluginSDK/TextureInfo.o ./.build/Debug/Libraries/PluginSDK/Utilities.o ./.build/Debug/Libraries/PluginSDK/half/half.o ./.build/Debug/Libraries/s3tc-dxt-decompressionr/s3tc.o ./.build/Debug/Libraries/stb_dxt/stb_dxt.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Object.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Math/Math_.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Math/Vec2.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Math/Vec3.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Math/Vec4.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Math/iVec2.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Math/iVec3.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Math/iVec4.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/String.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/WString.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Display.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/IDSystem.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/JSON.o ./.build/Debug/Functions.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/Event.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/EventQueue.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Language.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/FileSystem/Stream.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/FileSystem/BufferStream.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/FileSystem/FileSystemWatcher.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GameEngine.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Clock.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Buffer.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/Interface.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/Widget.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/Panel.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/Slider.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/Label.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/Button.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/TextField.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/TreeView.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/TextArea.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/Tabber.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/ListBox.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/ProgressBar.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/ComboBox.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/GUI/Menu.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Window/LinuxWindow.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Timer.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Process.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/FileSystem/StreamBuffer.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Multithreading/Thread.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Multithreading/Mutex.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Loaders/Loader.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Loaders/DDSTextureLoader.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Assets/Asset.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Plugin.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Assets/Font.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/FileSystem/Package.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Graphics/Pixmap.o ./.build/Debug/Classes/Graphics/Icon.o ./.build/Debug/Libraries/CppTimer/CppTimer.o CC = g++ FLAGS = -w -c -Wall -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/fontconfig -I./.build/Debug/ -D_ULTRA_APPKIT LFLAGS = -no-pie -lm -lX11 -lpthread -lXft -lXext -lXrender -lXcursor -lrt -ldl OUT = AppKit all: $(OBJS) $(CC) $(CONFIGFLAGS) $(OBJS) -o $(OUT) $(LFLAGS) ./.build/Debug/%.o: %.cpp $(CC) $(FLAGS) $(CONFIGFLAGS) $< -o $@ clean: rm -f $(OBJS) $(OUT) There is probably also a way to add it automatically to every object in the OBJS-list but I don't know it. That later option is especially interesting, if you want separate debug and release builds: OBJS_DEBUG = ./.build/Debug/AppKit.o ./.build/Debug/Libraries/PluginSDK/GMFSDK.o

You could shorten that a lot: You don't need the definitions for SOURCE and HEADER at the top and you can replace most of your rules with a generic one: OBJS = ./AppKit.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/GMFSDK.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/MemReader.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/MemWriter.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/TextureInfo.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/Utilities.o ./Libraries/PluginSDK/half/half.o ./Libraries/s3tc-dxt-decompressionr/s3tc.o ./Libraries/stb_dxt/stb_dxt.o ./Classes/Object.o ./Classes/Math/Math_.o ./Classes/Math/Vec2.o ./Classes/Math/Vec3.o ./Classes/Math/Vec4.o ./Classes/Math/iVec2.o ./Classes/Math/iVec3.o ./Classes/Math/iVec4.o ./Classes/String.o ./Classes/WString.o ./Classes/Display.o ./Classes/IDSystem.o ./Classes/JSON.o ./Functions.o ./Classes/GUI/Event.o ./Classes/GUI/EventQueue.o ./Classes/Language.o ./Classes/FileSystem/Stream.o ./Classes/FileSystem/BufferStream.o ./Classes/FileSystem/FileSystemWatcher.o ./Classes/GameEngine.o ./Classes/Clock.o ./Classes/Buffer.o ./Classes/GUI/Interface.o ./Classes/GUI/Widget.o ./Classes/GUI/Panel.o ./Classes/GUI/Slider.o ./Classes/GUI/Label.o ./Classes/GUI/Button.o ./Classes/GUI/TextField.o ./Classes/GUI/TreeView.o ./Classes/GUI/TextArea.o ./Classes/GUI/Tabber.o ./Classes/GUI/ListBox.o ./Classes/GUI/ProgressBar.o ./Classes/GUI/ComboBox.o ./Classes/GUI/Menu.o ./Classes/Window/LinuxWindow.o ./Classes/Timer.o ./Classes/Process.o ./Classes/FileSystem/StreamBuffer.o ./Classes/Multithreading/Thread.o ./Classes/Multithreading/Mutex.o ./Classes/Loaders/Loader.o ./Classes/Loaders/DDSTextureLoader.o ./Classes/Assets/Asset.o ./Classes/Plugin.o ./Classes/Assets/Font.o ./Classes/FileSystem/Package.o ./Classes/Graphics/Pixmap.o ./Classes/Graphics/Icon.o ./Libraries/CppTimer/CppTimer.o OUT = AppKit CC = g++ FLAGS = -g -c -Wall -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/fontconfig -I./ -D_DEBUG -D_ULTRA_APPKIT -lm -lX11 -lpthread -lXft -lXext -lXrender -lXcursor -lrt -ldl LFLAGS = -no-pie -lm -lX11 -lpthread -lXft -lXext -lXrender -lXcursor -lrt -ldl all: $(OBJS) $(CC) -g $(OBJS) -o $(OUT) $(LFLAGS) %.o: %.cpp $(CC) $(FLAGS) $< -o $@ clean: rm -f $(OBJS) $(OUT) This way, whenever you need to add a file, you just need to add it to the OBJS-list. The generic rule in the middle tells make, when it wants to create any file ending with .o to just search for the file ending with .cpp and in the command for that rule the placeholder $< will be replaced with the first prerequisite, whereas $@ will be replaced with the target (see https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Automatic-Variables.html)

Yeah, basically every file starting with a dot belongs into the home directory because the starting dot is basically the Linux way of hiding files and that folder ist the only place where you would want to hide the files because otherwise they clutter your home directory (like on Windows your Documents-directory which is completely unusable for me because every program puts their data there)

You can change GDB's behaviour: https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/gdb/html_node/gdb_38.html Something like handle SIG33 nostop noprint pass should do the trick (whereas SIG33 should correspond to SIGRTMIN). Just put any commands for disabling signals into your .gdbinit file.

Please don't use Window::MoveMouse! You will have users constantly asking themselves, whether that's absolute (i.e. move mouse to x, y) or relative (i.e. move mouse by dx, dy). Even if you can easily look it up I think, it is more helpful when scrolling through the autocompletion-options to just see on the first look what the function does without ambiguities.

Pretty sure "appstores" is wrong, though^^

I don't even know what the f*** is going on with all the appstores?^^

This is looking great. I've always been bothered by the available options for a lightweight GUI. I also think that cross platform support for a GUI framework is quite a big deal and can only second the opinion that this is the most important bonus goal. From the material you have posted, there is one thing I am quite curious about: In your code example you are placing the button and panel using fixed coordinates and sizes. Moreover, the widget is only created once and does not run through a loop, where the user would constantly recalculate the coordinates. When looking at the video, however, the widgets resize, when you resize the window. Did you implement a resizing-handler for the GUI shown in the video or are you planning to have a sort of automatic layouting system (i.e. defining anchors and having horizontal/vertical/grid layouts, which automatically manage the sizes of their contents) (clearly such a layouting system internally needs to use such a resize-event-handler but the question is, whether the logic behind that is tucked away some place within the API or whether a user needs to implement the handler themself). Maybe you could extend the example code by the GUI which is shown in the video and if there is such a system leave some words about how you plan it to work.

You might want to look at the return code: in your batch-file add echo %errorlevel% directly after the game and before the pause
