[gameprogrammer] Re: Source Code Peer Review?

Hey guys,

Ok I'll be the guinea pig on this one :p  I wrote up what I worked on
this weekend here:
http://gameprogrammer.com/gpwiki/UI_20widget_20access_20to_20game_20data

Its part of my game's UI that lets the UI display data from the game
logic objects. The code is pretty big and makes use of a lot of
personal libraries I have so instead of posting the code, I posted the
design. Hopefully its written well enough to explain everything. If
you want to do some peer review on that, I'd like to see what stuff I
missed :)

I do currently have all this code working in my game creating my UI.

Thanks
-Jeremy
