QUIK is an immediate mode user interface kit intended for embedding in other C# applications. When rendering UI elements, a command buffer is generated may can be converted to any other rendering commands using built-in or self made procedures.

Why QUIK?

QUIK was inspired by Dear ImGUI and Nuklear projects, however these libraries being implemented in C++ and C respectively make it harder to use them in a C#.NET environment, either requiring excessive P/Invoke or custom made, error prone marshalling.

QUIK is not intended to replace the aforementioned libraries for the C or C++ developer, however it is intended to make a similar library available to C# users without having to battle the un/managed barrier. It also comes with the advantage of not requiring any platform specific native libraries.

On top of that, QUIK targets not just .NET 6.0, but old-school .NET framework in mind as well. Whilst I do not promise the golden .NET Framework 2.0 support I do wish to make the library available for .NET Framework 4.7.2 in the future. Therefore the language version of the project is strictly limited to 7.3.
