Title:
Body:
<p>I had a little time to play with <a href="http://code.google.com/p/hikari-library/">Hikari</a>, a UI library for Ogre that effectively wraps a Flash control and adds some C++ interoperability. This means that I can make a little Flash application and have it run in-game as the user interface, which is much more flexible, easy to modify and generally nice than the Ogre overlay system I'm using at the moment.</p> <p>I've made a Flash file for the menu, in-game UI and high-scores table and they're being displayed in-game instead of the ugly temporary overlay graphics I had before (that you never did and never will see!). They're not functional yet since I haven't really had the time to learn Flash, and the input code I wrote doesn't keep track of cursor position yet which would make buttons useless. That's next on the agenda though.</p> <p>I shan't give you a screenshot since I still haven't sorted out a Simul Weather license, so everything looks very ugly!</p>
