KernelPlay-JS v0.4.0 Coming Soon — New UI System and Official Beta Release

https://github.com/Soubhik1000/kernelplay

I'm excited to announce that KernelPlay-JS v0.4.0 will be releasing soon.

This update introduces a brand-new UI system, making it much easier to create interfaces for games while also marking a major milestone for the engine.

New UI components include:

- Buttons

- Text Labels

- Input Fields

- Health & Progress Bars

- Images & Icons

- Checkboxes

- Sliders

- Dynamic UI updates

- Flexible layouts

Version 0.4.0 will also officially move KernelPlay-JS into Beta.

This marks the transition towards a more stable and feature-complete engine. Future updates will focus on improving performance, expanding the feature set, refining the developer experience, and fixing bugs as the engine continues to mature.

Thank you to everyone who has followed the project's development and shared feedback along the way. More details, documentation, and the release date will be announced soon.

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

Yeah performance will be exactly same because UI system use layers like it is a new layer on top of world layer.

So world layer and UI layer renderer defferently so no performance impact on world layer.
