Pick-lists with built in sliders
Radio buttons
Text
* Mouse, keyboard, and joystick support built into GUI.

SPRITE ANIMATION ENGINE:
* Fast, object-oriented animation with
VISUAL EDITING of sprites without re-compiling application. Can replace or modify sprites for an existing application with no change to source code.
* Fast drawing, erasing, clipping of several types of bitmaps.
* Scaling of linear bitmaps with automatic time-based increase/decrease size to limits.
* Fast animation of large, irregular shaped bitmaps with new .PKB packed bitmaps with automatic switch to standard PBM bitmaps for clipping at edges only.
* Object-oriented sprite instance data structures with user modifiable attributes to support drawing and erasing, timing of scaling, movement and bitmap frame changes, movement control, collision detection, storage and retrieval from disk, etc.

EDITSPR.EXE: (Edit Sprite) VISUAL EDITING UTILITY:

* Visually edit all frames of internal animation:
* Adjust center of each frame.
* Adjust collision rectangle for each frame.
* Adjust speed of internal animation cycle.
* Adjust 4 sets of attach points: (eg: the point at which a bullet appears when shoot gun).
* Preview how the animation will look in your application.

TILE MAP ENGINE:

* Background tile maps larger than screen size with:
* Tile maps can be created or modified with VISUAL EDITING of maps without re-compiling application. Can replace or modify the maps for an existing application with no change to source code.
* Maps include following elements:
* background tiles of any size (width in 4 pixel incr's)
* dressings (larger bitmaps) attached to map, drawn both under (low dressings) and over (high dressings) sprites
* anims (animated bitmaps) attached to map
* Animation engine support (hooks)
* Object-oriented map instance data structures with user modifiable attributes to support drawing and erasing, movement and bitmap frame changes, movement control, collision detection, storage and retrieval from disk, etc.

OTHER FEATURES

* Interrupt driven Mouse I/O
* Easy mouse drawing
* Use any art for mouse pointer
* Joy Stick support
* Complete keyboard handler
* multiple key presses
* handle wierd key-presses easily access via general event queue and array of 'down-keys'
* ALL Input goes into one easy to handle event queue
* Debugging support register deinit functions, printf to an MDA (second monitor), track memory, check for memory overwrites,hot keys to display all allocated mem display on-exit functions
* Fast 3D Polygons, Clipping,Solid colour, Texture maps
ACK!!! no polygon editor...
* Script language to make simple intro screens
* Move and scale sprites
* Automatic clipping
* Time or position control

* Completely Missing! (and not coming soon)
* Sound
* Doom-ish type stuff

Special thanks to: Themie Gouthas for writing the original Xlib. Micheal Abrash for the fast 3D polygon code, and being the 1st to publish xmode code (that I know about).
