I think I need to master this so let's dive right into Ambient's UI system. I've been advised it's React-like in some way, and Windows Forms-like in some other way. I'll be using external tutorials as necessary but mainly trying to stick to the latest Ambient 'Book' (https://ambientrun.github.io/Ambient/).
Particularly this UI section (https://ambientrun.github.io/Ambient/reference/ui.html), which links me out to "React documentation to learn how hooks work in general (https://react.dev/reference/react)".
Oh wow, this is a very short documentation page. I think sifting through examples was a good call, haha.
I think I'm actually done this to my satisfaction? Let's say COMPLETE
I'll note: It's still not particularly intuitive. I have to check the docs all the time.
