Quantum Graphics Toolkit

Quantum Graphics Toolkit (or "QGT" for short) is a graphics library based on OpenGL. It is extremely flexible and versatile, aiming to make OpenGL GUIs easier to create.

You can always create a high performance GUI app with it or even construct a 2D game for a little more code.

Do note that this project is in a very early stage of development, and only a limited subset of functionalities present in typical GUI frameworks are currently implemented.

Quickstart / Try it out

Install these libraries first: glfw-x11 (or glfw-wayland if on Wayland), freetype2, glm, mesa.

Then, clone this repository, cd into it and build main.cpp with your favorite build system (here we use ninja):

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G Ninja ../
ninja
./QuantumGraphicsToolkit
