cimgui bindings for Nim

nimgui

This started as a fork from nimgl.

I only wanted bindings to cimgui, and I found the project's setup to be a bit cumbersome to work with in a nimble environment.

I've renamed the project to try and better reflect its purpose, as well as changed its overall structure to better suit a nimble environment.

The project now has a tools directory, where the code for generating the bindings lives. Once generated, the bindings - which will be named nimgui.nim - will be stored in a newly created directory named src/, in preparation for nimble install.

The resulting nimgui.nim file can be installed as a nimble package.

All of this is accomplished via these steps -

$ git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/zacharycarter/nimgui.git

$ cd nimgui && git submodule update

$ nimble gen

Please note that to use the bindings you will need a dll of cimgui, static linking is still experimental and requires the use of C++. Follow the steps in cimgui to compile this dll and be sure to use Visual Studio in Windows and not MinGW.
