Ok, I'm only a noob really when it comes to making games (doing it for three years, but only in game maker) so I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to make a menu? i.e. items, etc.

Be more specific...
You don't just make menus... what language are you using, etc.
Using OpenGL, SDL, DirectX, etc.

Things like that...

Also if you're using C++, Java, C#, BlitzPlus, DarkBasic, etc...

I think XNA is just a libary for C#

Well, we're programmers... If we can program, we MUST know how to use game maker!

Not that I have anything against it; game maker just isn't "manly".

But how "manly" are you? manly and "manly" are two very different things. One's in quotes and one isn't.

Yeah your right... I think we should stop...

If you want a Game Maker menu then you should probably be more specific as to what you want... instead of

I want a menu help me make one

Ok, I should have been more specific. I haven't Even used GM lately. not enough time. I did mean it for GM, but I guess I'm not gonna get to it through
Never mind, and thanks anyway. I can't believe I sparked such a big debate.

Sorry, Game Maker's not something I have any experience with, so I couldn't help you make a menu with it. A basic menu involves advancing an index through a list of options when the player pushes a certain key, so if there's any scripting, you could do it that way. Although I sort of find it hard that something called "game maker" doesn't come with a built-in menu tool.

Haha don't mind Ginto and eatcomics.. they're both just being jokesters. They can find a way to debate pretty much any topic you can think of so don't take it personally.

Like marauder said many of us don't have much (if any at all) experience with GameMaker, but if anyone here does I'm sure they'll do their best to help.

Try googling "Game Maker Menus" or something of the sort, also maybe this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRoMj0eVd_w will help?
