Time for action — creating the menu screen

In the menu screen we create, the game title will also be displayed at the top.

  1. Insert a new method called CreateMenuScreen into the game class.
    Method CreateMenuScreen:Int()
  2. Set the the default layer to layerMenu.
    eng.SetDefaultLayer(layerMenu)
  3. Add a dark-gray-colored box that covers the whole canvas.
    Local b := eng.CreateBox(cw,ch,cw/2,ch/2)
b.SetColor(55,55,55)
  4. Now, add a text object that will display the game title and scale it by a factor of 2.
    Local t1 := eng.CreateText(font1, strTitle, cw/2, ch/2-100, 3)
t1.SetScale(2.0)
  5. Now, add three text buttons. We need the buttons Play, Score, and Exit.
    Local bt1 := CreateTextButton(font1, "Play", cw/2, (ch/9)*4, btnPlay, layerMenu)
Local bt3 := CreateTextButton(font1, "Score", cw/2, (ch/9)*5, btnScore, layerMenu)
Local bt6 := CreateTextButton(font1, "Exit", cw/2, (ch/9)*7, btnExit, layerMenu)
Close of this method.
Return 0
End

What just happened?

To set up the menu screen, you just need to call the method once in the OnCreate event of the game. If you need more menu entries, just add them here. The menu screen will look like the following screenshot of the game:
