There are a lot of things that cannot be done only using keys. For examples when you are (oh well.. will be..) docked into a station, probably you want to do some "shopping": buy some stuffs to sells into other planets.
To organize this i need a GUI (Graphical User Interface). I don't need all the buttons/widget of windows but some of them should be useful for my purpose.
I've found a very good open source library that seems to be perfect for my need. It's name is CEGUI, is totally free and, best of all, it integrates well with Ogre3D.
The documentation is not so user friendly, but for now i was able to create listboxes, checkboxes, buttons, frames, tabbed windows, icons and it should be enough for my purpose.
A brief video that shows you a ship computer prototype: i've also rendered a monitor (with some reflection inside :) ) and.. oh well, good watch and please send me all feedbacks you want.
