Smart UI for Construct 3
Hi Community!
Smart UI is a framework and set of addons designed to simplify UI design and development in the Construct 3 game engine.
One of Construct 3's weakest features is UI design, as it relies entirely on HTML/CSS, which tends to perform poorly when exported to the Cordova wrapper. As a result, many developers have opted to create their own UI systems using sprites and custom ACEs within the engine to achieve the desired behavior. However, the main drawback of this approach is its low portability, as Construct lacks the prefab capabilities provided by other engines, limiting reuse. This challenge led to the development of Smart UI, a plug-and-play set of addons that can be included in any world instance to function as specific UI components and it's completely built using SDK v2 to extend its lifespan as much as possible.
I decided to open the alpha testing of SmartUI to the world. The purpose of this is to allow as many devs as possible to play with the addons for free for the rest of the year, while I prepare the beta version.
I'm eager to have your feedback on the tool, to improve it for the beta and to add features that will be appreciated by other construct 3 devs.
