Reformatting the menus and other aspects of the game to look better, and to fit in 800x600 displays, is almost complete. Soon, the initial script for the base's menu will be complete and it will be easier to create the remainder of the building menus, as well as those for squadrons. In addition, I've been adding a chat system, so by pressing the ENTER key, you can now type a message and make it show on the screen in the upper-right corner.

I will soon start tackling the items, and getting them to work. The current idea I have is to show little icons for all the items that can be equipped onto a building or squadron, and then have them equipped as soon as you click on it. Then, to use the item (if it can be used in the economy phase), click on the icon again.

Once I complete the base's menu, I might even post the first screenshot or two here. Interest perks more often when there is a visual aid to confirm ideas.
