Sorry your browser is not supported!

Hello. I would like to make a main menu for my Breakout clone. And menus need buttons. Unfortunately I am both incompetent and lazy so help would be appreciated .

In my experience, there are 2 types of buttons. Buttons which are activated by clicking the "down" key until the correct button highlights then pressing enter (I can do this), and ones where you click on them with the mouse (I cannot do this). I realise the seconde one has something to do with getting the mouse location and if it is over the button, wait till they click, if they dont do nothing. But I am too incompetent and lazy (As i have said before) to put all this into code.

HELP!

The Ringmaster,

Hope this code helps you. This code is good for 4 buttons and all the combos of those buttons while clicking. I am just going to put the code right here in the msg, I don't know how to do those snippets, maybe some one could tell me.

Dangerous,

To do a snippet, all you have to do is click on the "code" button on the top right corner of the post window. copy/paste your code, then hit the code button again. Just ask if you wanna know how to...

a)insert piccies
b)make a quote
c)make a hyperlink/website addy

Hope I have been of assistance.

I dont mean to come across as being rude, but hey...

You have posted two posts asking for help, showing no sign of initative or try. In both posts you have said you are too lazy to look yourself. Well I guess your honest! People will quickly stop giving you help if you keep saying you cant be arsed to do the work yourself. Im guessing your next post will be "I want to make the next final fantasy or halo but cant be arsed to code it, can you make it for me!!"

Well, since I have not been getting much help, I have been coding, and I have worked out how to do the buttons from the glossary. Here Is the breakout I have worked out so far (WITH BUTTONS)



Uh, note, It is in DBC. I have the maps in another file.

By the way, I want to make the next final fantasy or halo but cant be arsed to code it, can you make it for me!

omfg rofl!!! if I went through every thread in this forum I would find a bunch of irritating, agitating, smart alic flame wars!! Lol but they are all funny. (Sorry, i just had to)

Any way, here is the button thing you needed :


*La la la* As easy as sunday mooorning!
Lol.

Thanx a bunch!
