Simple Menu Utility

[ppill]

So here's a request

Could anyone write a simple menu/selector operated via mouse/joystick.

Here's a list of features I have in mind:

- Opens a custom screen (doesn't have to use system's ModeIDs, just needs to be PAL/NTSC aware).

- Can use colour bitmap fonts for list entries and a custom background (or a starfield, copper effect) and set the palette accordingly.

- Uses a simple text config file (Label, 'Command to execute').

- Can navigate through menu entries using joystick/mouse (fire/click to choose).

- Can scroll through entries if they don't fit on a single screen.

- Quits, frees memory and runs the command.

Anyone interested in putting something like this together? It would be used in a WHDLoad related project I'm currently working on.

It would basically be a copy of those old bootblock menus form the A500 days. I know there are programs that can turn a bootblock to an executable file but most of these bootblock menus need a separate, custom preference program and probably would cause problems on modern machines and the text config file is a must since it would be dynamically generated.

I'm sure this kind of utility would be a breeze for a seasoned coder.

Anyone interested?

Pretty please!
