SDL Backend Support? about cimgui.jl HOT 6 CLOSED

https://github.com/Kyjor/ImGuiSDLBackend.jl

Both SDL-OpenGL and SDL-Renderer Backends opening and running. There's still bugs to fix and lose ends to tie up, but it's mostly working.

Wanted to bump this. This would be super helpful for me, as I have to use two separate windows, instead of everything in one. I would be willing to implement it myself, if I could be pointed in the right direction.

Turns out long-term meant a couple of days 😄 I've gotten the sdl opengl backend working (I'm sure there are a lot of issues with it) and rendering UI elements with inputs. I'm really interested in getting the sdl sdlrenderer backend working, and am hacking away at it. Once I get it working, I'll extract it out to its own repo. But for anyone interested, I'm working on it here: https://github.com/Kyjor/JulGame.jl/tree/feature/sdl-imgui-backend

Very nice work :)

Speaking for myself I probably won't be able to get to it anytime soon 😅 Also not an expert, but I imagine that if you wanted to do it yourself you'd have to write an ImGui backend equivalent to ImGuiGLFWBackend.jl, but using SimpleDirectMediaLayer.jl. It should probably do the same thing as the official SDL backend: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/backends/imgui_impl_sdl2.cpp

Yeah I completely understand. This will be on my long-term backlog. I think I have a lot to learn so this will be a good task to take on after I learn some more about creating these bindings and such. Thanks!
