What's On the Menu

Today I renovated the text renderer. Once drawing text was no longer a huge hassle, I started working on the GUI and now I finally have one! The buttons don't do anything yet, but they're there and they're being drawn. Here's a break down of what each button is for:

  • Log - Opens up the mission log. This lists important events in the order they have occurred.
  • Construct - Choose robots and/or buildings that you want built.
  • Orders - Order your robots to perform certain tasks, like mining and paving roads.
  • Stockpiles - Designate where resources and other items are to be stored.
  • Mission - Checklist of mission goals.
  • Robots - A list of all your robots and what they're doing.
  • Jobs - A list of jobs in progress and which robots are working on them.
  • Priorities - Order the importance of various tasks.
  • Status - General status.
Obviously, those are all subject to change, as is the layout and sizing. Tomorrow I will work on getting the buttons to actually do things.
