In this chapter, we will cover:
- Rendering text to the screen
- Rendering images to the 2D layer
- Playing a movie file
- Creating an interactive user interface
- Making the user interface data-driven using XML
Apart from its 3D rendering capabilities, the Panda3D engine also has features for drawing two-dimensional graphics. This may be useful if you want to build a simple, side-scrolling platformer, but also when creating spectacular 3D action games. Score overlays, head-up displays, and movie clips all need the engine to draw "flat" to the screen, which is exactly what you will be learning over the course of this chapter.
