How would I display a user interface for a player in an fps, for example, if I am using gluLookAt for the camera positioning, like so: gluLookAt(190.0f, 120.0f, 102.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); How would I create a text-based user interface that shows ammo or something like that using either bitmap or outline fonts or any other method?

If your interested, I have made an object that can output text to specified screen coordinates, and use any windows font to do so. If your interested I could send you the code (it's in Delphi though, so if you use C you will have to alter the sytax slightly)

Use an orthographic projection matrix and alter the viewport (one of NeHe''s tutorials shows how to do this). Then you can just specify the pixel you want.
