Feature request: ingame command-line interface / game console #235

Open x-qq opened 4 years ago

x-qq commented 4 years ago

I feel like something a command-line interface (some form of text console) in the game could help in many ways, most obvious currently being access to various functionality that Linux users miss due to there being no menubar.

~ To show/hide, pgup/pgdn to scroll.

Do you happen to know why Linux builds don't render a menu bar?

It simply is not implemented. On Mac, menus are written using the mac-native framework (Cocoa). On Windows, using windows-native menus (windows.h). On Linux the necessary functions are simply empty so there is no implementations.

There has been some discussions about trying to integrate wxwidgets or gtkmm menus into openboe, but nothing concrete so far.
