FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi,
Is there a mod that adds gui pictures to the game?

Here's the function: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L696

Is the poll related ?
If you're planning to make the inventory show like minecraft's, feel free to do so, but this should be in a mod, or, even better, a game (like MiniTest).

Is there a way to make the 3D player appear in the inventory GUI? It would be next to some armor slots, and would look where the mouse cursor pointing (Im doing something for my cubes game)

In c++ coding, you can put a camera in front of a player and make it display as a texture, so it is possible in concept.

Unfortunately, no such lua call hooks exist.

Actually, i think i might have seen a way in irrlicht to display a single model (ie, the player) in a texture, which the user can move with their mouse... (a model viewer)... idk

So its possible in C++ but not in Lua? Too bad i don't have any coding experience with C++
Is C++ hard to learn?

C++ isn't hard, but it is quite low-level, and even strings get tedious and repetitive. The thing is that you need to recompile(often an insane pain) to add a C++ change, wile adding a LUA mod requires putting files in a folder.
