[TuxKart-devel] GUI

[Robert K. <rob...@gm...>]

Hey folks, I'm looking for a way to contribute to this GotM.  I'm rlk
on Game Tome, the author of Neverball.

I propose to take over responsibility for the 2D GUIs in Tuxkart...
the menuing, the configuration, the high score display, the in-game
HUD, etc.  I propose to adapt Neverball's existing GUI code for this
purpose.

This is a very generic 2D GUI system, and it scales up well.  It
provides a number of widget building blocks and renders them using
TrueType fonts.  It uses an autolayout mechanism that allows the coder
to describe the relationships between widgets, and it lays them out
on-screen automatically.  It adapts this layout to whatever screen
resolution or font size you enable.  You send it mouse, button, and
joystick events and it handles the rest.

I'll contribute this code, and port in into Tuxkart.  I'll create
whatever GUIs need to be done for the game.  What say you?
