Help Making a Menu Screen

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi all,

I need help making a menu for my game that I am developing.

I am fairly new to coding in LUA. I have the basics down and I am getting a book from my local library to learn the full “jist” of the language, but I won’t be able to get there until next week and I have made a deadline for my menu to be made, and the deadline is on Thursday.

I have the whole UI drawn out on paper. All I need to know is how to make a Play button to go the levels selection menu. Then how to make a High Scores button to go to a page that has all the High Scores on a separate screen. Finally, an Options button to obviously go to a Options screen.

If you can, can you show me also on how to make the screen for the Options screen for sound to be adjusted, and also to put in like info on who made the game and copyright info.

Also I am developing for both Android and iOS, so because some of the code is different, could you please give both because I know some code doesn’t work on both platforms.

Sorry that I am asking for a lot of info, but I just want to understand how to do it, and so that I could apply it in the future.

Thanks!

Hey there Landon - code will be the same between iOS and Android :slight_smile:

Until you can start with some books check out http://learningcorona.com/

The Corona for Newbies tutorials from http://Techority.com/ (my website) are great for new users. There is also one on Techority relating to scenes/screens which is probably exactly what you want for understanding logic of a menu, level screen, etc.

Let me know how you go with those.
