Main menu

[chaos]

How would i go about creating a main menu ehich includes play,settings, and instructions for a game?

Please elaborate...in GUI?

You need to put everything into separate procedures, ie the game is in a procedure, instructions are in a procedure, settings are in a procedure, etc. You then need to create some way of allowing the user to call those procedures, weather by text or buttons.

I understand connecting that part, but its the part of connecting what procedure to what procedure that confuses me. I might start out with text first, and then convert everything to GUI

okay so have it set up so if "ESC" key is pressed, "brings up the menu" // lets you change things in this menu. when your done, you go back to the game... Heres a VERY basic idea.

code:

proc menu      loop           menu stuff here           exit when menu stuff is done      end loop end menu loop      inputs      if inputs = menu call then          call menu      end if      game stuff here      draw game stuff here end loop
