the simplest way would be:
1-create an image which will be your button (in photoshop or gimp or whatever)
2-load it (dbLoadImage)
3-show it on screen as a sprite (dbSprite(in a loop))

and if you want to take an action when the user clicks, you can either create another TRANSPARENT sprite, and keep positioning it over the mouse position, then check for collision between it and the button, or you can just check if the mouse is inside (SpriteX,SpriteY,SpriteX+SpriteWidth,SpriteY+SpriteHeight)

The key feature in a button is the mouse-vs-area collision algo:

You can use any 2D/3D object to represent the button visually.

I think the above has to be this:

if(mousex > buttonx && mousex < buttonx + buttonwidth && mousey > buttony && mousey < buttony + buttonheight)

Now the plot thickens, the fps decreases, and the awesomeness goes through the roof.

in the comment place, put something like this:


note that dbSpriteCollision takes two arguments, which are the IDs of the two wanted sprites, it checks collision between them, if they are colliding it returns true, otherwise false
in case you dont want a sprite over the mouse, and you want to use the actual mouse position for calculations, simply replace dbSpriteCollision with a mouse position check, for example you can write your own mouse collision function like this:
