How do I make a simple 2d menu using images or sprites.

I just end up with endless of if-endif's to check if the mouse is over the sprite.

I get it to working, but is so many much coding.

Well get used to it. Big projects are a lot more than 10 lines of code. Make a function for that mouse over, that would always make it shorter. Other than that, there isnt too much you can do.

Big games, have long code. If your really dedicated to this, you wont care how long it is. Think about how cool it will look when its done, and think about showing off all that code to all your friends so they can think WOW.......

yeah, it isn't exactly a problem, but I know there is an easier way using arrays. I just cant figure it out. I know I'v seen an example of it here somewhere, just can't find back to it.

The way I do it now is the long way. Chech the image width, check the screen width, check if mouse x > screen width/2 - image width/2,check if mouse x > screen width/2 + image width/2 ......and so it goes on.

If I just could see an example of a 2d menu using images. I guess I could figure out how to build one myself.

I tend to do it using arrays to store the width and height and the x and y positions of the button, like this...

If you make it a regular menu (ie sections are equal sized)I usually use a lengthy equation to make a variable 1-number of segments.
