First off, it dosnt even have a GUI(only text).
2nd, Its very limited(I mean VERY limited).
finally, it dosnt even give you any source .
It is much better for someone to make thier own menus(as this dosn't help AT ALL)


Note: The above I didn't say, your just crazy.

It does make the source! When you create the menu (which is soooo limited ) And you go to play or load or whatever butons you made.Then a screen comes up and says press s to save e to exit!
then it saves the source in c:\Menu Maker and since you say it it so rubbish would you give me any tips on how to make it better! Not vague ones thou. e.g - limited....

Its limited in the fact that you cant pick how many options for each thing and whatnot. I think this would be better as a library then an app

Something to doing?

thx matt coz of how i can improve it - i will do tonight - how do you get it so if you write a piece of code whiich lets you see what the number in a variable is then gives you the amount of options.
To make it not limited to number of options
and
thx squid for the encouragment it was meant to be simple anyway!

I just think its way too limited(your better off coding it yourself).
I would understand how limited it is if it was a WIP, but its not.

oh ok... it just didn't seem as if you meant it that way. But i don't know how to do how do you get it so if you write a piece of code which lets you see what the number in a variable is then gives you the amount of options!

The word "MENU" has been reserved in U5.7. I'm wondering if something is on the way. I discovered this when I was making my own menu system, and it fell apart at U5.7 until I changed my variable names.

Come on scott (refering to Mr Naughty) you've got to post your annoying prog on here, see if anyone can work out how to quit (although it is pretty easy) I loved that

Can anyone tell me the theory of knowledge?

This menu maker is a greate idea, but it needs work. I could give you some advice, coz iv'e been working on a 3d editor and it helped me alot with app programming.

Ok, i'll give you somthing to work with

1. Get rid of the text based creation
2. It's allways important that you can "choos" the things you want to do in a editor, Like Drag And Drop based editors.
3. Make sure you can load images into the program so that you can place them onto the screen, make sure when you save the source that you store the cords etc
4. Also include text in the program, and add a drag and drop function on that to
5. Make a GUI with optins to make it easyer for the user.
6. Experiment with other things for and example: adding 3d effects to the screen

Well, good luck!
Oh and if i come up with enything else i'll give u a tell

Mrnaughty,
this is something like what i woz lookin for. mabey needs to be a bit more powerfull. i reckon have a look at the flash IDE. www.macromedia.com. i wouldn't try and incorpoarate it all but have a look at the way they implement the buttons and the frame based editing. i think it would be really cool

to all you peeps my friend mr naughty is not as good as you guys at coding, he is a newby, kinda like me, i'd say from what i've seen of his, annoying mouse program, text based footy game and text menu maker, is pretty good, give him a while to catch on to DB more then he'll proberly do a great menu maker, see i can't code a drag and drop, theres a snippet in the help files of DBPro for you scott where you can use the mouse to move your object, maybe you could try to edit that and use the same principles and then you may satisfy these peeps

Not really, its actually what you see as supportive.
I could have said
"This is a great program. I find this helpful."
which would be lying (I'm sure you know allot about lying) and why would lying be supportive?(to some people it is)
Sure what I said might have been grouchy, but my criticism is not suppose to be cheery.

Criticism doesn't always have to be what you want to hear.

I was like that last night lol, I made a menu system completely made out of functions (oh and a main loop to contain it in) now i see how much easier life is when you make your own function

hmm if only .rc files worked in dbp and then u could use microsoft dialog editor(something that designs .rc files the vb way)

quit hiting the computer; computers can only do what they are told so we must be telling them to do wrong things

i think the easiest way to go about doing something like this would be to write a function in Darkbasic that will work something like file reader. In the function, give it capabilities to load a image set.. (ie a folder containing all the images for your gui). Then using a template file that might look something like;
begin menu:
form_size = x,y
button 1 = x,y,img
button 2 = x,y img
background = x,y,img
eof;
Darkbasic could then read this file, parse it, and display it.. i guess in my head this works really simply..it will just take a little work on the reading part, and most of the work done on the editor you can easily write in vb or c#( or c++ if you savy enough) anyway that would be my personal basic way of doing something for distrobution..otherwise i just write a menu system for myself that is usually not user friendly. o_0
