how do I make a menu screen for iphone game

Postby Irondan75 » Tue Apr 05, 2011 12:47 pm

Do I create the menu in my games .ged file OR is the menu a seperate .ged file?
I have read the tutorials for making a game menu and looked at some demos...but the tutorial seems to lead me to having two separate .ged's and
the demos I have looked at show the menu in the games .ged

Any explanation or links would be awesome

This depends on whether you are able to reset your game within one single .ged file.

1) Its easy to re-load a "level ged" and you get everything resetted.
2) On iphone you can load another ged file but one single ged is easier to deploy.

Thanks AKR, I would prefer to do the single .ged method that is easiest for deployment. Do you have any links or guides that describe this method?
I have been looking at the demos that use this single method but I'm scratching my head ?? :?

I'll give you a quick explanation:
1. You find a place where you build the menu.
1.1 Just add some buttons there and so on.
2. You set your view to the menu.
3. You script the buttons, so they lead you to specific x and y positions of the several game "roooms".
3.1 You can find out the position easily by putting your mouse over the room and looking on the bar.
Finished!
