2D > 3D

Hey everyone!

Just like Fredrik said, I'm temproraily in charge of 2-dimensional functions in the game. The Graphics engine Ogre3D cannot render 2D grafics on it's own. So we are utilizing a third-party library called CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's Graphical User Interface). It's a C++ library that's integrated in Ogre3D so it's very user friendly. But CEGUI is not enough so I am currently using two other tools along with OGRE and CEGUI: SDL and Lua

SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) Is a free library with extended possibilities for 2D and Lua is a scripting language. The nice thing about Lua is that you can replace much of the programming with scripts which makes it possible to rebuild the program without compiling (saves a lot of time)

The first goal I want to reach when it comes to 2D functions is a Health-meter of some sort. We need to discuss this in detail at the next meeting

Over and out..
