Inspired by FriendlyCosmonaut's Menu videos
She shows how to create a Settings Menu and how it could be used. There are sliders, toggles, and something she calls a "shift" that allows you to pick from a few different options. She also shows how to connect those settings to how it would be used in a game.
This is a great tutorial.
Note: It looks like she changed some variables halfway thru the video. (ex: ds_grid -> ds_ )
Future possible add-ons/changes:
- ini file to save/read settings
- set the initial room size to one of the possible resolutions
- add sound when navigating/changing option
- add simple game to show how to integrate it (splash screen, start, rules, etc.)
- refactor code so all colors are in one place (black, yellow, white, orange, etc.)
- add a background image
- change font
- try making ESC doing the resume/back
