[ocemp-devel] Layering

[Mr M. <mr...@us...>]

Hi

I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to best approach the
problem I'm having. On the main game screen I want to have sprites and
surfaces layered like the following:

      top
__________   windows/dialogs
__________   UI widgets
__________   UI overlay image
__________   surface with sprites and text (surface can be scrolled)
   bottom

How can I achieve this using the Renderer class? As I can only add sprites
to Renderer would I have to make the overlay image a sprite? How can I add
the text? I don't want it to be a label because I would have to create a
different style. How can I impose depth ordering for drawing?

Would the new features of 0.2.x help me out? How suitable is it to use at
the moment?

Thanks very much! Keep up the good work.

Regards,

mond
