Okay, It’s been busy at home lately. I’ve been moving it. But I’ve been trying to find a little time every day to work on my XNA stuff, and I’ve got a much more complete menu system now.<\/p>\n

I’ve made some changes:<\/p>\n

– The menu now shows a default “Return” choice at the bottom of each list. This can be turned off by setting the “showBackChoice” boolean.
– The menu now has two types of choices, Normal and LeftRight. Normal choice will show their child choices as a separate menu when they are executed. LeftRight choices will show their child choices as a list to the left of the parent choice when they are SELECTED.<\/p>\n

I’ve also made the sample code show a bit more info in the console as you are viewing the menu. The sample code initializes the menu as follows:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

mainMenu.AddChoice(“Choice 1”<\/span>);<\/p>\n

MenuChoice<\/span> choice = mainMenu.AddChoice(“LR Choice”<\/span>);<\/p>\n

choice.AddLeftRightChoices(new<\/span> string<\/span>[] { “one”<\/span>, “two”<\/span>, “three”<\/span> });<\/p>\n

\n

choice = mainMenu.AddChoice(“Sub Menu”<\/span>);<\/p>\n

choice.AddChoice(“Sub choice 1”<\/span>);<\/p>\n

choice.AddChoice(“Sub choice 2”<\/span>);<\/p>\n

\n

mainMenu.ChoiceExecuted += new<\/span> Menu<\/span>.ChoiceExecutedHandler<\/span>(ChoiceExecuted);<\/p>\n

mainMenu.ChoiceSelected += new<\/span> Menu<\/span>.ChoiceSelectedHandler<\/span>(ChoiceSelected);<\/p>\n

mainMenu.ChoiceDeselected += new<\/span> Menu<\/span>.ChoiceDeselectedHandler<\/span>(ChoiceDeselected);<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So there you go. Pretty simple. If I make any more changes, I’ll be sure to post them. Possible changes could be:<\/p>\n

– using a proper spriteFont to display the text (so we could use something besides Times new Roman).
– making background images actually work.
– something I overlooked….<\/p>\n

I’ve realized as I’ve been working on this that is might have been easier to just implement it using a full on tree, rather than a bunch of sneaky lists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
