Turska UI/Framework

(version 2.x also known as Turs2)

About

Turska is a compact and simple framework & UI component library. It is especially aimed for games which typically have only modest requirements for UI.

The library is meant to be used in connection with some other library as a low-level platform abstraction/backend. Currently the library has built-in support for both Irrlicht (using D3D8/D3D9/OpenGL/OpenGLES), OpenGL (desktop 1.x), OpenGL ES (1.1) and SDL (using OpenGL).

Status

NOTE! The library is not actively developed anymore!
