Creating Windows OS

by Chad Kilgore · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 09/27/2006 (11:16 am) · 2 replies

I am attempting to create a faux Windows-esque OS using Torque GUI. And I am looking for suggestions on how to do the following:
* creating a dynamic icon list for the "Start Menu" and "All Programs Menu"
* creating a menus that pop out to the right or left of a highlighted button
* creating right-click popup menus

Any help would be great. Here is my current progress: www.cs.iastate.edu/~ckilgore/fauxWindows.jpg
If there is anyone who would be interested in helping me in this process, I would be greatly appreciated. I promise that the GUI will function as a game.

Without a doubt one of most evil screenshots I've seen here.

Maybe check out the TGE/TSE editor script files for ideas on the dynamic icon list and right/left menus?
