This weekend I didn't get to do the massive amount of programming I intended, but I was nevertheless able to get Windowing support added to the gui framework in the Threat Level Red project. The following screenshot shows the console window open.



I still have to code up the keyboard event handling functions and a text rasterizer. I am debating whether to add some cool effects like fading console text as console input is typed. I think that when I am done this should be a neat little game with a lot of reusable code. Maybe I'll share it with the world this Christmas. :)
