Question

I’ve been looking to use the Dear ImGui plugin with my GDScript based project, but I’ve been struggling with learning it. The sample project has a very bare-bones feature set, with a demo mode similar to the interactive ImGui manual found here.. The demo mode doesn’t seem to have a GDScript-compatible inspector the same way that the demo does.

From what I’ve read online, the way to learn Dear ImGui in GDScript is by inspecting the C#/Python code and translating it through trial and error to GDScript, which seems really convoluted for a fast prototyping UI to the point where I’ve avoided it so far. Are there any interactive resources like a complete demo mode that shows GDScript source code? Thanks for your time :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I could be wrong, but I feel like the Dear ImGui plugin’s target audience was “people who are already comfortable in Dear ImGui and want to use it in Godot” as opposed to “here’s a better system for building UI in Godot”.

I haven’t tried the plugin, but I suspect unless you’re already au fait with Dear ImGui, you’re probably better off just learning the Godot-native stuff.
