ingame GUI

idea

• ingame menu
• ingame HUD

The User should be able to execute some actions by just pressing 'ESC' and then using the mouse/cursors/and so on…

Design

• Container-Based or Free-Flying Widget-approach.
• Buttons, Labels, Textfields, Images, renewable images, everything should be supported
• make it dynamic
  • example: player can subscribe a a bar (lower left)
  • weapons: extend with new Bar (bar fades in, extends to either left or right side of the previous bar)
• more cool ideas.

the CD-Engine currently uses the material-class to render Debug-boxes.

As this is a rather expensive method (3000 materials per level just for debug), i would suggest, that you use the Draw-approach from PNode::debugDraw, as it is much faster, and uses much MUCH less memory.

QT-GUI

since GTK is not our fovorite gui-language, we would like to reimplement the GUI in QT.

implementation

• All important functions must be ported:
  1. loading/saving
  2. signal-connection
  3. displaying
  4. integration

• all important widgets should be easily availiable
  1. widget
  2. containers
  3. windows
  4. buttons
  5. sliders
  6. …

• good documentations on how to use the new API would be nice
