I am developing a fruit ninja style game using the samurai ninja template , and I have made a menu but want to slice the button on the menu but the fruit I slice on the game mode is in a table and I want to slice the menu buttons
So my question is how would I implement the slice function to slice a button , this is the code from the main game file
