Create Game Menu in Py.Processing

hamsandwich

Hey all! I'm trying to create a simple game menu in my py.processing game, where I have options to view game instructions, a high score list and an option to start the game.

def draw():
    if game.State == "Menu":
        loadImage(path+'/background.png')
        if 200<= mouseX <= 310 and 150 <= mouseY <= 170:
            fill (255,0,0)

        else:
            fill(255)
        text("Play the Game!",300,200)
        text("View High Scores!",100,300)
        text("How to Play",30,50)

    elif game.state == "Play":
        game.display()
    elif game.state == "inputName":
        text("Game Over! Save your score:",200,100)
        text(game.name,300,200)

This is what I have so far. A menu displays just fine, but I can't give unique options to each feature. Any advice?

generic answer: you need to make buttons and then when the mouse is pressed in state Menu, check in which button the mouse has been pressed and set state accordingly with game.state = "Play" or so.

The buttons are rects (can be invisible) that enclose the text "Play the Game!" and "View High Scores!" etc.

you have state and State - make sure, you use only state

this is in JAVA processing

// moves ellipse by ScreenButtons for the Mouse 


final color Green_C = color (2, 222, 2);

int q=300; // x
int w=100;  // y
int s = 45;  // radius 
int s2 = 110;  // radius 

// =======================================

void setup () {

  size (800, 880);
  strokeWeight(1);
}


void draw() {
  // delete screen
  background(111);

  // line color black
  stroke (0);

  fill(222);
  rect(60, 300, 60, 60);  
  fill(22);  
  text("UP", 70, 320);

  fill(222);
  rect(120, 300, 60, 60); 
  fill(22);  
  text(">", 130, 320);  

  fill(222);
  rect(180, 300, 60, 60);  
  fill(22);  
  text("Dn", 190, 320);    

  fill(222);
  rect(240, 300, 60, 60);      
  fill(22);  
  text("<", 250, 320);  

  stroke(Green_C);
  fill(Green_C);
  ellipse(q, w, s, s2);
}

// ========================================


void mousePressed() {
  if ((mouseX>60) && (mouseY>300) && (mouseX<120) && (mouseY<360))
  {
    w = w-60;
  }
  if ((mouseX>120) && (mouseY>300) && (mouseX<180) && (mouseY<360))
  {
    q = q+60;
  }
  if ((mouseX>180) && (mouseY>300) && (mouseX<240) && (mouseY<360))  
  {
    w = w+60;
  }
  if ((mouseX>240) && (mouseY>300) && (mouseX<300) && (mouseY<360)) 
  {
    q = q-60;
  }
