Jordan. Listen to me carefully. You've spammed several of the forums on this site with the same questions and useless programs, never really trying to work one out before re-asking it along with your next problem. You're going to be banned if you keep doing this, which wouldn't be bad at all. Spend some time reading the tutorials in the Newcomer's Corner forum. You are very inexperienced with everything you're trying to do, and things like GUI menus and online play are far, far beyond you. Based on your other threads, it doesn't even seem like you read the replies that actually offer help, which means you don't understand basic programming concepts. Take some time off from the forums, maybe even some time off from Dark Basic. Read up on some tutorials, learn about the simple things, and try to not come crying to us when your complex online menus don't actually compile.

Love,
Quoth

Yes, Jordan, it is indeed good to see a keen developer, but you now have nine threads on the first page of the DB board alone, it seems to me that you are not thinking logically, or reading the help pages.

A menu could simply be: a bitmap the size of the screen, and several clumps of writing on top of it.

Load the bitmap file first.
then set the cursor to a point on the screen and use the print statement to put some text at that point. then a little do - loop. in this loop, check the current X and Y positions of the mouse cursor. if the user clicks and is over one of the words, then act accordingly... a little example (untested)
