im making a game and im making the menu from the top of my head
im trying to use my skills and not help to make sure im doing it myself.
so i made this menu with this coding so far:


i want it to be that if you click one of the buttons/images you will go to the next bit
i read tdks tutorial but it says if u click on the coords and some other confusing things
but not what i want

you code won't work because it'll only wait 1 second plus there isn't a if image clicked anyways heres my method that uses sprite collision.

steps:

1.first put sync on and sync rate and stuff

2.make your buttons and make a custom mouse

3.load all you images e.g.
and so on

4.then you need a loop


5.make sprites in your loop and place the mouse sprite last




6. set up sprite collision



when done it should look something like this


and thats all to it

Note:you can add scale sprite to it when the mouse sprite is over it to make the sprite bigger this doesn't do anything but does make it look cooler also if you want perfect pixel collision I recommend windowskillers ultmate collision which can be found here

Ok, dont actually put the quotes where the mx and my stuff is...lets say you do have your image at 0,0 and the image is lets say 10x10.
It would look like:

You can make your own cursor...what you need is an image, load it, hide the mouse (using "hide mouse") then set the sprite with the image number to MouseX() and MouseY()

Ok, for the press up thing, when you use the print command after loading sprites it doesn't show up too well. Sometimes it doesn't show up at all and if you put it in a do loop then it just annoys the crap out of you. for printing text (it's not much better) but for now use the "Text" command.

it is used like this:


I don't see where "delete sprite 1" would go in your code though.

Wow, it certainly is...red! =P

Ok, here is a tip. Don't put your sprite positions in a do loop...it is useless memory usage. Only put your cursor sprite position in the do loop. Take out that cls after the sync, all thats doing is updating the screen and deleting it.

EDITh and a good idea would be to place all of your images in a folder, called "Images", "pictures", or "Media" whatever is compfortable with you. This will make your stuff much more organized.

Well...not that I know of, as far as I know a loading bar is just an animated sprite.
