Recommended 2D GUI library

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Recommended 2D GUI library

BlitzUI is excellent and its free. Runs as fast as any 2D system can within Blitz3D. Highly recommended for the price (free).

BCF looks MUCH nicer and lots of features. Pretty sure some of the commands can be used without a window, check first though. Well worth the money if you want something that looks a bit different.

Sswifts system is the fastest because it uses 3D rather than 2D techniques. Very flexible but requires more work by the programmer. Not windozy looking at all. Designed to be used on a 'blank canvas' (well, your 3D screen really). Very well commented which means you can learn alot by looking through the code.

Also check out Chroma's free menu system, which I think is very good when used for what it is designed for.
