Ok that is a very cool Drawable :)  I can certainly see some usages  
of it in games, like a Zelda item screen.

Also very cool, a Slideshow would be a good addition.  Also you can  
take advantage of the Sleep animation and a Trigger callback which  
increments the "slide".

Yup, just saw it.  The format is decent enough for me.  Perhaps once  
the cmd line tool is checked in I can take a look at it and integrate  
support for asciidoc type tags

This is exactly what I wanted to have for CR/CS.  Basically grey the  
screen (main) and then display a lightbar menu in the center of the  
screen with various options.  Main use for this would be the "Pause"  
screen but can also be used as a generic popup in a genmenu based scene.

I can imaging.  This would probably be a good use for the Object  
event handling I have planned.  Until then though we can use a flag  
in the inputEvent method to detect if we are in the "popup" or in the  
"game".
