| There is currently no Monkey-GUI-Toolkit for developing real, nice-looking, native desktop-applications with MonkeyX, as it is very 2D-game-oriented. I think that will change with the next version, MonkeyX 2 - it should add native cross-platform desktop-GUI and cross-platform 3D over time, to be the final, all-in-one cross-platform, solution. There exist quite a few Game/Graphics-oriented GUI-solutions and frameworks out there: - IgnitionX / Pyro - fantomEngine / fantomX engine - EazyGadgets - Jungle GUI - NativeUI - SimpleUI - many more... I guess for MX2 ruling the world, being recognized in TIOBE Programming Languages Index, and including a native cross-platform (Desktop-)GUI-System and a 3D-Engine, at least takes round about 2 or 3 years (easily) - if not more. PureBasic required 15 years or so to be in the Top-50 of the world (just with the included libraries system, without being advanced object-oriented, and without being perfect). The programming language itself is the most important first step, but right after that comes the tools, frameworks, and libraries-system that enable you to create a wide variety of applications, easily and as fast as possible (Rapid Application Development, GUI- and Database-Designers, etc.) It's a big challenge to provide such a system for so many platforms (Desktop, Web, Smartphones, Tablets, Gaming Consoles, TV Multimedia-Boxes, VirtualReality Gadgets, ...), and it requires people that want to help to create such a nice and big system. To reach the goal, I assume MX2 will still be enhanced/developed within the next 10 - 15 years, from now on. Personally, I like to see it as a long-term project for the next 15+ years... ;) |

| There is no official GUI, but AdamRedwoods did do a wxWidgets wrapper. But it hasn't been up date in 3 years. |

| I think MX2 plans only for official non-native gui as Mark is rolling his own, but maybe that will change. That won't stop anybody from doing a wxWidgets type port though. |
