can I use maxGui to code the Gui for a game? Or is it application only.

secondly, for example, can I make an icon on a HUD, and if clicked, perform the code associated with the clicking of that icon?

Can I easily add a GUI on top of my existing game? Merely putting the buttons(graphics) like (click to raise shield) onto the screen, and putting the code which I have in certain key presses (input received from the player) into the action performed by said button when clicked by user?

MaxGUI is application only. Games in windowed mode don't work that good and GUI must be windowed. As well the GUI can't be skinned to look "game like"

If you need an ingame GUI, I can really advice HighGUI3
