Yes, you probably already know I was going to make one of these. I PLAN (ooh, but that's such a strong word) to make a fully operational GUI for Dos, to be used by older computers to save space. This includes a scripting language. But enough of this. I'll keep you updated as much as possible.
For what it's worth, the GUI will have a main loop. So each time through the loop, a few things will happen. One, the mouse position and status (Left button clicked, Right button, etc.). Then whatever needs to be done accordingly will be done. Everything that needs to happen is put into an action queue. All of the actions will be processed, then the screen will be updated. I'll be using pages (courtesy of UGL) to prevent flickering as much as possible.
Wish me luck. I have a tendency to start a project and not finish it, so please keep me going as much as you can. I don't want to stop this.
