Below, wherever you see // PUSH-BUTTON is an attempt at making a simple button. It's a little crude. A simple red box, where clicking it within a particular area (as determined by the X and Y co-ordinates of the mouse) will show a print out that the button has been "clicked".
My question is whether someone knows a better way of doing the same thing? Often, I see in games all sorts of input components, some are even partially transparent. How about other input components? Drop-down boxes? Lists? Tabs? Is there a (3rd-party?) open-source OpenGL library that can help me? Are these things that I'll need to implement from scratch?
