Replace UI and Rendering Framework

[sholloway]

Currently the Agents Playground uses DearPyGUI as the UI and rendering framework. This has several limitations.

• The application stylistically looks out of place on the host operating system.
• The rendering API does not enable accessing the shader pipeline.
• The rendering API is 2D only.
• The render leverages an immediate mode design which is rather constraining for UI widgets.
• The roadmap for DearPyGUI is focused on creating a general purpose 3D engine and I have doubts about the long term viability of the project as a robust UI solution.
• The framework does not have a way to leverage other rendering backends (e.g. WebGPU).

Given these limitations it is desired to migrate away from DearPyGUI to a different UI and rendering solution. The candidates for consideration are: For the UI

• PySide
• wx

For the Rendering Pipeline

• wgpu-py

Features that will need to be Supported by the UI Framework

• Ability to create custom widgets
• Tooltips
• Support for multiple windows/dialogs.

Features that will need to be Supported by the Rendering Pipeline

• Font Rendering
• Curves and Splines
• Custom Shaders
• GPU Accelerated
