Overview

I started working on a calculator that would help hobbyist with their electronic projects. Whenever I am designing a project, I use online calculator for many things: Ohm’s Law, Voltage Divider, Transmission Line. These are just the most common. With this project I intend to make it simpler by combining all of these calculators into one.

Language & GUI Library

I decided to write the project in C++, because it’s my favorite language. As for the GUI Library I went with Dear ImGui with glfw and opengl3.

Language support

This project is meant to be multilingual, so I decided to make this system first. Languages are stored as text files with .lang extension. Language Manager load text form this file and stores it in a map. This way adding new languages is very simple.

Here you can see a quick demo showing that ImGui is working.
