Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any info on drawing and interacting with GUI elements such as TextFields and buttons in OpenGL. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks. - Mike

I''m going to be doing a few tutorials on that soon. Like how to write a complete in-game GUI/menu class (LARGE class), with a GUI similar to the one in Unreal Tournament.

Hey Trent (+ others)

IF you are interested I''d love someone to further PortaLibGUI. It started well and has all the framework - basically need widget implementors (I got bored/ran out of time).

I starte on it because
1. I wanted a C++ class hierarchy GUI in OpenGL
2. I didn''t like glGameGUI/glGUI and its development seemed to have stopped.
3. Romka''s GLI was too slow (especially mouse overs, button pushes)
4. I never checked out GLUI (GLUT GUI) - any experiences?

Love to hear back. The partial code is in PortaLib 0.3.0

Cheers!

glDruid or DruidGL once had an OpenGL GUI - he was hosted on GameDev.net - but that was well over a year ago. It was a good little library if I remember correctly. Maybe you guys should do a google for him

Why google it if it''s still there?

There you can still download ''glGUI release 6'' and other things!

Like I said, dev. seemed to have stopped and where I said I didn''t like it - it''s more that it wasn''t what I was looking for. Its a good widget library, but I was more into developing a windowing system.

PLGUI is something I''d really like to finish, but I don''t have time
