Title page issue

gmost

I've been trying to make a decent title page for the past couple of days and i've tried many ways to do it and I can't seem to get it to work with my code, or it will work and stop other functions. i'm using global variable int for stage..and I'm using 2 if conditions the first stage for the title page and i copied and pasted the rest in the 2nd! Now the game itself isn't working. Please help me out, i can't seem to understand why!

float gx = 300;
float gy = 100;
float gw = 50;
float gh = 5;
float gSpeed = 1;
int score = 0;
int miss = 3;
int stage;
int maxscore = 3;
PFont font;

/** Variables for Soccer Ball | b in the variable stands for ball
 ================================================================ */
float bx, by, bySpeed, bSpeed;

/** Increment the speed of the ball with each kick
 ================================================= */
float i = -6;
PImage soccerField, soccerBall, startGame;
// End Global Variables

/** Begin Setup
 ============== */
void setup() {
  size(600, 600);
  startGame = loadImage("startgame.png");
  image(startGame, width/2, height/2);
  //background(startGame);
  theBall = new Ball(bx, by);
  theGoalKeeper = new GoalKeeper(gx, gy);
  soccerField = loadImage("field.png");
  //image(soccerField, width/2, height/2);
  minim = new Minim(this);
  kick = minim.loadFile("kick.wav");
  block = minim.loadFile("block.wav");
  crowd = minim.loadFile("crowd.mp3");
  goal = minim.loadFile("goal.mp3");
  font = loadFont("Champagne&Limousines-Bold-48.vlw");

Chrisir

in draw() say

if (stage==0) {

// draw start screen

if(keyPressed) stage = 1;

} else if (stage==1) {

// what you have in draw now

}

THANK YOU!!!

Chrisir

Stage is often referred to as state

You can also name 0 and 1 to

final int stateStartScreen = 0;

final int stateGame = 1;
