Home, Loading and Level select screens

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I have been practicing with a lot of tutorials and examples, but seem to have missed a section! :confused:

For example, I made a balloon pop game but now want to test out making it with a home screen, about this game and a level select etc.

If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Thanks! [import]uid: 134652 topic_id: 32379 reply_id: 332379[/import]

thank you both for the direction.

Is there a certain time when scenes should be used over a storyboard, is it based on developer preference?

Not sure what you mean.

Storyboard uses scenes, you either have each one in a separate lua file or you bundle everything into one lua file (bit messy).

Load up the Storyboard sample app, there use to be a template.lua file in the same directory to help you get started.

If you mean Director over Storyboard then it’s preference only. Both are as good as each other in terms of functionality at this stage from what I’ve seen, though Director is simpler. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 32379 reply_id: 129136[/import]
