New description:

 == Outline ==
 We currently only have 4 HUD elements:
  * Bar (SpeedBar, etc.)
  * Radar
  * Navigation (shows where the selected enemy is)
  * simple Text

 Your job would be to write new items like different Bars, image sequences
 (to show different weapons) etc, and/or to improve the current HUD
 elements.

 == Framework ==
 You could either use CEGUI (which is more powerful) or the classes
 OverlayGroup and OrxonoxOverlay to design your elements. These can easily
 be loaded by XML and have some console command to move them around via
 Shell. More information about the HUD framework can be found [wiki:HUD
 here].
