Booking app gui as a jam project

[Orrexon]

Booking tables at a restuarant is not very difficult and most have some way of doing it on their web page. Some have caledars and a list of how many tables are free given how many chairs you need for a given date.

Some times you can call/visit and they will customize a bit for your booking if you want to book for many people.

What I am thinking about is you have a top down-ish view of the rooms of the restuarant where you can select a table and get booking information and book it by clicking and writing your name. A calender would pop up and you would pick from there. In the same view you could, if you would prefer to, instead set a day on a side panel and change time and the tables would update their colors to indicate if it was booked or not.

There are many ideas around this concept, such as being able to request putting specific tables together by actually dragging them and so on (all though without it going too crazy) but I think above mentioned features would be a reachable scope for a jam.

Why would any body want to do this? Well it could help you plan dates or work related events better, since you can visually see where in the restaurant you'd sit and how the surrondings are going to be without even having been there before. Some times you want to be far away from the toilet and other times closer for example.

I am thinking dear imgui, C++. Not too many C++-specific features :) some place holder images and simple lighting effects, some imgui windows in which to change dates and input text.

I don't know how much time I have to spend at the jam but I want to participate some time :)
