Game menu design

[Macera]

Heya,

Does anyone know which type of utilities might be needed for designing a game menu?? (Should be able to work in conjunction with vc++ instructions)

Or any utils for making a menu would be huge help

Thanks in advance

shouldn't you just learn how to program?

It's quite a trivial problem, but google is your friend..

Sounds like you don't actually know how to help him, so you rather just spew some retarded crap filled with insult and sarcasm.

I can program thank you very much, but this is my first time working so much with graphics, my previous experience only includes basic gui and databases, hence why I'm asking, and I obviously DID try google, but didn't find anything concrete, I am still looking on google as we speak, but I thought I'd ask some of the people here, as I know a few tho have made custom menu's (Shrimp's UnWheel Mod has its own menu, or it looks like it)..

Have a nice day

Regard

No, it sounds like he has made two of the worst possible mistakes

a) Asked for something without showing he has a clue
b) Specified vague parameters whilst demanding a precise solution

Both of those tell someone like me that the person asking the question lacks so much fundamental knowledge that all the answers in the world will not assist them.

Honestly, a menu is as obvious as a simple case-select statement.

I didn't ask for how to program a menu, im asking what do you do it with? You use the graphics engine? Or do you use some extra utility?

I LOVE KARNAUGH!!! :clap: <-------- *Sarcasm*

Good luck Macera...

just FYI... if you are using the dxsdk.. it has some basic stuff to make a simple hardware accelerated gui which you can use to make game menu's

it has some already coded controls, option's, checkboxes, select boxes etc etc...
the source is there in the sdk, you can check it out and build your own.
