Awesomium Menu System
A Demo of the menu system can be found here - May take a bit to load the audio/ images
The credits screen can be found here - May take a bit to load the audio/ images)
The original menu source can be found here (Took me ages to find a HTML based menu system that resembled a game menu – thought I would have to make one myself 
)
The menu system took a fair bit to time to get together, mainly because I was jumping between Awesomium versions because we wanted video support (Hatef demanded a intro screen ). I concluded that implementing video support with flash mainly because I would either have to hope the person had flash install or distribute our engine/game with the flash .dll – which is against there terms of agreement (read that somewhere). So after research, I found that there was an Awesomium Apha version that supported html 5 video. However it lacked a majority of the features, including documentation, so I went in blind and succeeded in implementing it.
There were some issues, i.e. how was I going to determine what button the player clicked on (initially figured I would use java script, however I found out that it wasn’t implemented). I then realized that I could just do it the old fashioned way – by getting the arguments of the specific page i.e. mainMenu.html?page=startGame. It was a hack and slash way – but it was easy to implement and worked fairly well.

UML Diagram
The diagram was done before the project started. It wasn’t completely completed however it did serve as a solid foundation for our game engine. The diagram was done by me in Star UML, it does share a few similarities with the XNA framework i.e. SpriteBatch, Content Loader, etc

Awesomium 1.7 Alpha (HTML5 Support) – Last minute implementation
Physics: Bullet
Sound: Currrently not implemented, going to use FMOD though.
Texture Loading: Devil
Majority of the models: YoFrankie – The assignment was focused on the game engine not the game. Although we did model a fair bit.
Awesome HTML Menu System:http://tympanus.net/codrops/2010/06/28/awesome-cufonized-fly-out-menu
Took ages to find, well worth it. It was been slightly modified and a slideshow background has been added. The same font and blue hover is also used for the credits screen.
