The '''Panel Editor''', shown in the image to the right, is a tool included with the C4 Engine that is used to create and edit graphical user interfaces of two different types. First, the panel editor can be used to create windows, dialogs, and heads-up displays that are rendered on top of a game on a two-dimensional desktop, and these interfaces are saved in individual panel resource files.

An expression method holds a text string representing a mathematical expression that gets evaluated when script execution reaches the method. For an expression method, a text box is displayed on the left side of the Method Info window where a textual expression may be entered. (The Method Info window is o..." current

A script does not require the use of any textual programming language. Instead, a script is shown as a graphical representation of the actions to be performed and their interdependencies. Scripts support local and global variables, conditional execution, loops, and expression evaluation. For information..." current

The values calculated at the vertices are smoothly varied across the interior of a triangle through a process called perspective-correct interpolation. Hence, these values are called ''interpolants''. The list below describes each of the interpolants available for use in the Shader Editor under the Interpolants tab...." current

The first method is to simply configure a set of predefined attributes in the Material Editor. This is the easiest and fastest way to create a new material, and most ordinary materials can be made using only those attributes. A more advanced method is to use the Shader Editor to define the exact calculations used by the engine to render a material. The Shader Editor provides you with the power to crea..." current
