Tasks:Wastesedge:GUI

Back to Road Map.

Overview

Build Waste's Edge GUI so it can be re-used and easily changed by other games. That requires that all dialogs and views are written on Python side.

Dependencies

• The widget system.

Requirements

• Come up with a design and theme with a modern look and retro feel (or vice versa?) ;-).
• Implement audio feedback for UI operations (such as button presses, selection changes) (in progress)
• Implement speech bubbles (in progress)
• Implement load/save interface with screenshot, statistics (like in-game time) and user-defined text
• Implement dialogue window with conversation history, numbered items for replies, portrait of speaker, etc. (in progress)
• Implement main menu
• Implement "name your character" window
• Implement Python console window with command history
• Implement Option window (optinal, as Waste's Edge didn't have that either)
