Recently I've been adding in a little of the game framework using a 'state stack'. The architecture is quite simple but suprisngly powerful. I want to demonstrate how powerful it is, so there's a small section in the book that creates the scene shown below.

The image above demonstrates the use of the textboxes on the statestack and a simple fade state. The rest of this chapter will be about creating the in-game menu.
As always I'll be keeping this blog up to date with my progress and if you want to be notified when the book is coming out please visit the promo site below:

Nice to see your book progresses.
I have a question. You use some opensource game engine for this book? If this is not secret info, of course.
Yes there's a engine that handles displaying windows, rendering sprites, text etc. The source will be released with the book.
At some point I'll probably write some posts about it.
