Menu

[trufun202]

Right now I'm writing a game in C#, so I'm taking advantage of the use of delegates (function pointers). So when I add a menu item, I pass in the function that will execute when it's selected, such as:

Code: Select all

TitleMenu.MenuItems.Add("Battle Mode",
                delegate()
                {
                    TitleMenu.Visible = false;
                    currentScreen = Screen.CharacterSelection;
                    InitializeGameMode(GameMode.BattleMode);
                    startingMatch = true;
                    gameState = GameState.Running;
                });
TitleMenu.MenuItems.Add("Credits",
                delegate()
                {
                    TitleMenu.Visible = false;
                    currentScreen = Screen.Credits;
                });
TitleMenu.MenuItems.Add("Quit",
                delegate()
                {
                    this.Exit();
                });

In Golvellius, I'm essentially doing the same thing by specifying Lua methods with each menu item - which I prefer, but I'm not using Lua on this game so delegates are a happy medium.

Sounds like my plan back when I was designing my RTS. Haven't waded through the code, but how's that method working for ya? ;p

It works well! ...and I was proud enough of it to share with others, so that says something I suppose. :P

honestly, I don't even know anything about anything. I'm just learning C, and I suck at it.

That's what we're here for.

What do you suck at? If you're working with some code and can't figure out what's going wrong just post it on the forums.
