I've just put up a GUI section. Not quite finished, but never-the-less useful (I hope).

The GUI is quite capable of editing options and providing menus now.

13th November, 2008

I've been putting a fair bit of work into the gui recently. It's ugly, but now has some functionality; boolean options can be edited through the gui now. Today I've been working on a basic text input widget which supports basic unicode input now and should be capable of editing options very soon.

Check out the image on the main page!

Forgot to say that I switched to a mercurial repository and have made it available since the 14th June. So you can check out the latest committed version now (although unfortunately I haven't been making so much progress lately).

8th May, 2008

Crikey, a month's gone by now since the last update. Just so you don't think nothing's been happening, I've made 11 further commits to the repository (not on the web) since the last news item.

So what have I been working on? The user interface. Right now it has quite a few of the little-but-important features, like resizing widgets and interactable buttons, and a fair bit of the framework behind a GUI such as a renderer interface (also known as theme support), although currently there's only one very basic renderer. But as of yet there's not a lot to look at and nothing particularly original about it, so I've decided to put off any release until there's a bit more to show.
