Those aurora repos appear to be empty :/ Is aurora intended to be a GUI toolkit? I still think there's huge need for a realtime gfx environment GUI toolkit. But if I were you, I wouldn't be marrying it to any particular gfx API. Just make sure to structure the API to allow backends (like OpenGL) to be plugged in. > [0] https://github.com/rikkimax/DOOGLE > [1] https://github.com/auroragraphics > [2] > https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-EiBquZktsLcGtMSmtMS1ZoZHM/edit?usp=sharing
