Overview
GMUI, or Godot MVVM UI Framework, is an innovative tool designed for the Godot Engine that simplifies the process of building user interfaces. With its latest version 1.3.x compatible with Godot version 4.x, GMUI introduces several enhancements that cater to developers looking for an efficient and clean approach to UI management. This framework is built around the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architecture, allowing for a streamlined and organized way to handle user interface logic without the overhead of traditional coding practices.
The essence of GMUI is to make UI development as straightforward as possible. By utilizing a scene-based setup and leveraging Godot’s built-in nodes, users can create functional interfaces with minimal coding effort, making it accessible to both seasoned developers and newcomers alike.
