C++ Dear imGui, Camera support

What's New in v2.23

• Added Dear imGui support for C++/Xcode (see example in Kaiju project)

Example setup:

    auto windowConfig = SDLWindow::Configuration::openGL;
    windowConfig.SetIsResizable(true);
    windowConfig.SetIsFullscreenDesktop(true);
    auto window = std::make_shared<SDLWindow>(windowConfig, Vector2Int(640, 480));
    window->Go();

    auto renderContext = std::make_shared<SDLImGuiRenderContext>();
    renderContext->Configure(*window);

    auto node = std::make_shared<WorldNode>();
    auto component = std::make_shared<FuncRenderer>([] (RenderIntoModel renderIntoModel) { ImGui::ShowDemoWindow(&show_demo_window); });
    node->AddComponent(component);
    window->World()->root->AddEdge(StandardEdgeModel(), node);
    window->World()->SetRenderContext(renderContext);
    window->World()->uiEventPoller = std::make_shared<SDLImGuiEventPoller>(*window);
    window->World()->Go();

• C++: Renamed Array to VectorList
• C++: Basic 2D Camera support for rendering objects
• C++: Ported Path Layouts from C# (Bezier, Line, Circle)

• Button is renamed to ButtonControl

• Improved View logic for HStack, VStack layouts

• Basic Speech Bubble support for animated speech bubbles

• Improvements in Weighted randoms code

• Listener OnListen is now OnEvent

• General improvements

• Removed behavior tree code for now until I rethink it

• SomeAnimatedStateEffect Allows for button animations (example: rotate button when mouse is hovering over it)

• More unit tests
