Alas, at this point in time, the app is pretty much going to remain straight
C. I have a feeling porting it to a higher-level language would not only be
unsatisfactory operationally, but also from a performance perspective unless
the software renderer were replaced with, say, OpenGL bindings. This is of
course non-trivial and not really something I want to embark on right now.

If you mean i itemtype, that would just be a big mess with modern menus.
However, I am planning a sort of HUD or at least tooltip display to get
more information on objects in the scene. If you have any ideas about that,
lay them on me.
