Left and Right for Player One, Z and X for Player 2. Try to avoid the flying circles^^.

Hello,
Just programmed a simple "Menu Manager" and I thought, it can be useful for others. :)
It presents a way to write your own Menu, moving a cursor with Arrow-Keys (Up/Down), select an Entry (X) and call a Function.
The Sourcecode is well documented.
EXAMPLE
menu={}
function menu.update() --Copy from Cartridge
function menu.draw() --Copy from Cartridge
function _update()
menu.update()
end
function _draw()
menu.draw()
end
function entry_one()
cls()
print("entry one selected!")
end
function entry_two()
cls()
print("entry two selected!")
end
function entry_x()
cls()
print("entry x selected!")
end
cls()
menu.entries = {
"text entry one", entry_one,
"text entry two", entry_two,
"text entry x", entry_x}
cursor(26,40)
menu.start()
|
Again, the Sourcecode is well documented :)
HOW TO USE IT
-
Make sure you place
menu={}
on your Sourcecode. Not in a function, not even in _init(), it must be placed on the "highest level". -
Copy every function, that starts with "menu.", from that Cartridge to your Sourcecode. Thats
function menu.start()
function menu.update()
function menu.draw() -
Make sure to call the "update"- and "draw"-function in _update() and _draw(). Don't worry, these Functions won't do anything, they only react after calling another Function ("menu.start()"):
function _update()
menu.update()
end
function _draw()
menu.draw()
end -
Set your Screen-Position using "cursor" (it must be done at least once).
cursor(0,0) - Fill up the "menu.entries"-Array, representing your Menu.
That Array contains at least two Values: Value "One" is the shown Text, Value "two" is a function that will be called, if player selects the Text. This goes on for Value "Three" (Text), Value "Four" (function) and so on...
menu.entries = {
"start game", start_game,
"options", show_options,
"credits", show_credits,
}
6. Make sure these functions at least exist, otherwise the Menu wouldn't shown properly:
| function start_game() [...more code...] end [...same for "show_options" and "show_credits"...] |
- Finally, call that Menu:
menu.start()
SOME MORE OPTIONS
You can change some Variables before calling "menu.start()":
menu.cursym = ">" |
Change the Symbol used as Cursor.
menu.curclr = 10 |
The same for the used Cursor-Color.
menu.backclr = 0 |
Color to remove the Cursor-Symbol after moving it.
menu.cancel = [function] |
A function that will be called, if the Player press Button "4". If this is set to "nil", nothing will happened.
menu.pos |
Use it after calling "menu.start()". You can set the preselected Entry with this Variable. 0 means the first Entry, 1 the Second Entry and so on...
All this code is free to take, use, change, adapt, or whatever.
As said, I thought it can be useful for others^^.

Hello there,
Just presenting my other game here^^. "Spikes and Jumps" is a Platformer. Your Goal: Reach the end of every level and avoid everything that hurts.
It's some kind of a Standard-0-8-15-Jump'n Run. The Player doesn't have any special abilities, he can only walk and jump. You have infinite Lives, and you're walking from the left to the right^^.
Controls
Arrow-Keys to move.
Z to jump. Hold Z to jump higher.
