Hi there, I think this is a very good idea. Probably some sort of GUI-component framework is also needed. I would suggest to take a look at ParaGUI. It sits on top of SDL and therefore is cross-platform by nature. http://www.bms-austria.com/projects/paragui/ Also take a look at the screenshot section !
