If you don't know what a GUI is, get off the forums.
An SDK is a Software Development Kit, a visual kit that is based off sight, not numbers.
For example; if you wanted to size a box in Roblox Studio, you would have to try different numbers of pixels before it worked.
In an SDK, you could click the box and drag the corners until you got the size you like.
Double clicking a box would show you the "Properties" section in the Roblox Studio we have now. This would help people like me who make GUIs or dream of making GUIs who have a very bad eye for sizing and moving boxes with pixels.
The only thing that would not change is the scripting. The scripting is what makes GUIs special, and if you aren't willing to script your buttons and stuff, you shouldn't be making GUIs.
The "Explorer" window would still be shown so you can edit frames and insert scripts and such.
This could be downloaded as an update for current users, and added to the browser download for new users.
It would either be it's own application or an expansion of the Roblox Studio, either would work just as well.
When a GUI is done being made, it could either be saved as a place or as a model, and then inserted into a regular place via Roblox or Roblox Studio.
Please, I dont want any of this tl;dr crap. Take your time to read it.
Post any and all feedback! Sorry for any typos or grammar mistakes. |

So its like a brick resize and move tool, but for GUIs? Not really needed. GUIs are easy enough to make as it is. |

I agree with Nounknown we don't really need this, sorry. We want scripters to be able to use 'em not builders who take freemodel scripts. |

You guys don't get it. This is just a simple tool to resize GUIs. They are very simple to make but I find it annoying to use pixels to make them. Some people are good at this, I'm not. |

@grandma
Baaa.
@topic
I see what you're getting at, and it would cut down on time and trial/error work.
Support. |

@Ace
This is only resizing, no more, no less. Builders can't use it because they can't harvest it's full potential through advanced Lua. |

Still most builders, can't even build well, so they don't even use the properties. |

This is targeted towards good builders, not bad ones. |
|

Good builders dont need this though! |

Shut up not. It doesn't matter if we "need" it or not. It's making things easier. Go flame somewhere else. |

@prthe: Obvious misunderstanding is mainly considered obvious. He wasn't 'flaming' from any perspective. |

Stupid, it's extremely easy.
Use scale instead of pixels if you find them difficult.
Plus, make your own. It wouldn't be hard. |
|
|
Prthe3, you quoted someone wrongly, which is a PA. |
|
|
And before you say anytihng, to prove my point, I'm actualy scripting one right now. I'm nearly done :) |

If you actually READ my post, you would know that people have a bad eye for pixels, like me. This would have NOTHING to do with scripting.
And "misquoting" was an EXAGGERATION, not EVERYTHING is a PA.
Read my post, moron.
TL;DR ALERT ABOVE |

You made him look like a grammarless troll, and he isn't. Which is a PA. |

Again, an exaggeration.
You make EVERYTHING a bigger deal than it really is. Ive seen you on the forums before. get off my thread before you infect it with fail any more. |
|
|
You're the one getting criticised and saying you're being flamed. I'm just supporting not, who has done nothing wrong. |

You just called yourself a flamer. Failwhale. Sorry that you don't support an idea that is simple programming and would help many GUI makers, just one you can't relate to. GREEDY XD |

Actualy, I've nearly finished making my own 'SDK' and it's only taken me 5 minutes. |
