Additional resources on Gui

Hello, I am new to programming and defold. I went through the building blocks of defold along with gui manual. It mostly makes sense. I was looking for additional resources on how to make a responsive gui that will adjust to screen size. I did the color slide tutorial which had a little UI work, but seems to targeted at a specific window size. Are there any resources on how to create a flexible UI with buttons, sliders, data list, etc? I’m guessing stretch, anchors and pivot would probably come into play. Thank you.

Thank you, I did see that. The article seems centered around the additional dependency of Druid. I would like to learn what the base engine is capable of before adding additional complexity. Or is that really the only way to create a flexible layout in Defold?

I found a tutorial by Asatte games. I will take a look at that.

I read this tutorial the other day, which was helpful in terms of understanding the basics.

As far as I know, Defold doesn’t want to provide any ready-made GUI components or layout systems. You’ll have to either build them yourself (massive undertaking), or use community addons.
