I've actually got one of these from FoF too, and it's capable of  
doing a timed slide show (used it in the background of the FoF main  
menu :).

I'm just gonna go through and list off a few generic Drawables/ 
Animations I have in the FoF sources that would be nice to include,  
potentially:

- log3dmover/exp3dmover -- similar to the log/exp 2d movers, but  
works in 3d
- gridselector -- takes an array of textures, both active and  
inactive states as desired, and displays N selectors around those  
textures, each potentially with their own color and overlay texture  
(see: FoF character or difficulty select, jukebox menu, etc)
- manualviewer -- takes an html-like input file and compiles it into  
a binary manual format which can then be scrolled through with inline  
images and all (see: FoF online manual)
- menubox -- a little pop-up box that lets you display N menu options  
and have the user choose one
- messagebox/popup -- the actual pop-up used by menubox as a backdrop
- screenblinds -- a powerpoint-like transition effect where dark bars  
move onto or off of the screen with alpha blending at the edges (seen  
in the song menu of FoF)
- scroller -- bog-standard demo style scrolltext (character menu in FoF)
- slideshow -- described above
- soundfader -- animation that fades the background music
- starfield -- a little less generic but people still seem to like  
'em :)
- textdisplay -- takes a vector of strings and displays them centered  
in a box (with or without backdrop)
- wavetxr -- otherwise acts like a banner, but does a "water droplet"  
effect with shading and distortion (it's faked, not real 3d :)

I think I may also eventually drop the code used for the options menu  
in FoF into a generic piece that handles hierarchical menus. It's not  
too far from it as it is but could use a little genericization.
