Hi everybody !
In-game interface of netpanzer is quite a mess. Lack of functionnalities
(current selection, outpost list).
Functions are hard to find (like outpost production) and it's getting
worse when we add features (like my
patch to change output location for new units, the way you choose the
location is not at all intuitive).
I think we should reshape the interface and use "standarts" of RTS
games, like the propostion of
Matze. I made a more precise sketch :

As Matze said, feedback would be interesting.
The main problem is that the code of present interface is rather ugly: a
lot of static function to handle inputs -> difficult to extends and
debug, ...
So I'll start a new framework for in game interface. Here is a starting
point :

Again, feedbacks are appreciated.
