INTERFACE MainMenu is the level where players have options to choose from: seeing the controls, checking the help page, exiting the game, or starting a new game.

7 INTERFACE MainMenu is the level where players have options to choose from: seeing the controls, checking the help page, exiting the game, or starting a new game. There are several menu items, so a variable should save the currently selected item. private SELECTEDITEM SelectedItem = SELECTEDITEM.NEW; where it could be one of these values: enum SELECTEDITEM NEW, HELP, CREDITS, EXIT, BACK And the spotlight s direction (explained later) will be direction and the menu item saved in the variable SelectedItem. This level has three sections that are displayed separately, so we must create a variable that saves the section that the player is currently in: private MAINMENUSTATUS CurrentStatus = MAINMENUSTATUS.MAIN; where it could be one of these values: enum MAINMENUSTATUS MAIN, HELP, CREDITS 7

8 There are five menu items: New Game, Help, Credits, Exit, and Back. Depending on the game status, saved in the variable CurrentStatus, only the needed menu items will be used. This is done in the switch cases in the Update and Render functions. To add interface items, add the highlighted code of to each of the tasks below: File Name = Game.cs Class Name = class Game Constructor = public Game() Replace the highlighted code public Game() Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(Application.StartupPath + "\\Assets\\"); Sound.Initialize(); CurrentLevel = new Level1(); With the following code: CurrentLevel = new MainMenu(); File Name = MainMenu.cs Add all of the following code: using System; using System.Drawing; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO; using Microsoft.DirectX; using Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D; using DIRECT3D = Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D; using System.Collections.Generic; using Microsoft.Samples.DirectX.UtilityToolkit; namespace PucThePirate enum MAIMENUSTATUS MAIN, HELP, CREDITS enum SELECTEDITEM NEW, HELP, CREDITS, EXIT, BACK class MainMenu : BaseLevel private List<MenuItem> MainMenuItems = new List<MenuItem>(); private MAIMENUSTATUS CurrentStatus = MAIMENUSTATUS.MAIN; private SELECTEDITEM SelectedItem = SELECTEDITEM.NEW; private List<Cookie> MainMenuHelpCookies = new List<Cookie>(); MenuItem BackItem = null; protected override void InitializeGraphics() //these meshes are used in the main menu level LevelMeshHolder.AddMesh("NewGame.x"); LevelMeshHolder.AddMesh("Credits.x"); 8
