Alright - i need to make a main menu and want to have a start button, exit button and a highscore button (which pops up another menu). The thing is, i know how to make a button. But i can’t figure out how to make this button function with the switch statement.
My problems and questions right now:
-
I’m using methods to draw the start, exit and highscore button. But what is the best practice for it? Cause it’s confusing me a lot right now.
What i want to know is: how can i get the XY, width and height values from startButton() to mousePressed() to use the if statement to make a button. Am i overthinking this? I might have a solution to just copy paste the X,Y variables in the mousePressed area and use that to make invisible buttons and just draw the rectangles via a method. Is this how it’s supposed to work? Wish there was a best practice book somewhere
(or is there)? -
We’re not allowed to use Classes.
-
is the void runGame(); and runMenu(); a good practice to use for the switch statement? Or is this utterly bad?
