Detailed Description

A HUDActor is drawn in screen-space rather than world-space. You can treat it just like any other normal Actor, but both its position and size are described in pixels instead of GL units. The screenspace coordinate system starts at the top-left of the window.

For example, to have an actor be 100 pixels wide and situated in the bottom-right quadrant of the window (assuming the default window size of 1024x768):

 HUDActor *h = new HUDActor();
 h->SetSize(100.0f);
 h->SetPosition(974.0f, 718.0f);
 theWorld.Add(h);
