Visual Node Graph with ImGui
Summary: Guillaume's graphics blog introduces RogueEngine, a personal graphics engine with a node graph system for UI. The node system, inspired by Blender, Notch, and Godot, has three types of nodes: root, data, and component. The data model separates UI logic from data, making it easy to serialize and deserialize project content. The engine allows keyframing for animating scenes and supports code nodes for more flexibility. RogueEngine aims to provide an intuitive interface for visual content creation.
