#68 Enhanced Terminals

[Anonymous]

First of all, congratulations for excelent work so far on aleph one.

My idea is to include support for a language similar to that of web
pages, but simpler, into terminals to go give mappers more freedom in
creating a storyline:

- You could add external images of any size to terminal, arrange them
as you would like with tables, support animated giffs,
- Add mouse interactivity with buttons with states idle, over and
clicked, that would allow control of tags, lights, medias and teleports,
- Support for quicktime VR,
- Hypertext to browse to different pages in the terminal.

Aditionaly, marathon infinity has a feature that never got implemented:
real-time camaras in terminals, like thoose on Duke Nukem, that
would rock!

Another feature that would be real cool is support for some kinf of
imput text box: imagine puzzles where the marine would have to look
for a numeral acess code, that place it in a terminal to trigger a tag
that opens a door to keep playing.

And finally, support for background sound and sound effects in
buttons would add a lot of ambiance.

This is an awesome idea. It really adds a lot of flexibility for maintaining mood
in scenarios (something close to my heart).
