Suppose the menu goes deeper you can just push the next menu onto the stack and update and display that one. Since we're only updating and displaying the top of the stack the 'game settings' menu is shown and manipulated. If the player picks the game settings menu we push that menu onto the stack. The menumanager will only update and display the top of the stack (this is a 'peek' at the top of the stack). Start with the stack by pushing the base menu onto it. Choose language -> push language menu on stack.Audio Settings -> push audio menu on stack.Graphic Settings -> push graphics menu on stack.Game Settings -> push gamesettings menu on stack.Your controller and display logic should only display the menu that is on top of the stack. If a nested menuitem should appear, push the new menu class on the Stack.
This implements the stack: it can add or remove menu's but only displays and updates the top item in the stack. Then you create a menumanager that controls what menu gets updated and displayed in the gameloop. This should be a basic menu implementation. So the basic idea is: you define a menu class with update() and draw(). You only add items to the end (push), remove the last item (pop) and can interact with the last item (peek). Similar behavious can be created using an Array. I'm not familiar with Ruby, I think there is no 'stack' object. If you have nested menus, you can use a stack. How would a professional game programmer architect/design this? require "components/first_menu" It seems like I either need some sort of "menu screen manager" for keeping track of the previous selection and transitioning between menu screens, and/or I need to pass the controller input handling down to the menu objects, since I want to use up/down on one menu and left/right on the other menu. When the user makes a selection, I need to transition to the next menu screen. I am interested in learning how this is typically structured in professional game development.Ĭurrently I handle the controller inputs from the main file and have individual classes for each menu screen. I am designing a game that starts by taking you through a series of menu screens.
I am getting started with game programming.
