Making my own GUI

[Pumaman]

problem 2: never noticed this in previous tests...but it turns out RawDraw paints under the character sprite.  So if the character is in the middle of the screen, they will be overlapping parts of the inventory....gah!  the graphic overlays DO paint over the sprite...but the cap is a mere 10.  that means things are goign to get a little funky no matter what option I choose.  I could use overlays just for the items, but it would crash the game if I pulled up an overlay inventory when I had 5 or more overlays already on a room (because inv could have 6).  So Il just keep it all RawDraw.

RawDraw is for painting onto the room background, so yes it will be behind any characters/objects.

There is a limit on 10 overlays because they are not really designed for this sort of thing. What's the main reason that you can't use a GUI for this?
