continuing on my SDL3 testbed for VGUI1 reimplementation.
I strictly don't want to rely on nagist's VGUI nor on the Valve's code in Source SDK nor anybody else's code, so what I'm trying to do, is to make a self-contained program outside of GoldSrc/Xash that directly calls vgui.so and renders using plain SDL_Renderer API in SDL3.
what you see here is purely using VGUI provided classes with the exception of my tiny vgui::Taskbar extension that lets me to actually close windows. The idea is to capture what VGUI does, and turn it into C++ ABI and behavior specification, and then reuse that in my slightly older project FreeVGUI (that I abandoned for years but never forgot about)
and because it's just SDL3 and it can run in software rendering, I can as well make automated tests that will compare the rendering of Valve's original code and my own per pixel on a CI server with no GPU access and cursed stuff like llvmpipe to emulate opengl
