    Reply Quote
    I am just starting out with XNA and am trying to design my first game.I have watched all the 2D tutorials and am wondering how to make a main menu so the game doesnt just start up into gameplay. If you could explain it it would be helpful. again, i am just starting out. Thanks.

    You could check out George Clingerman's The State of Things tutorial to get you started. Or you could dive right into the GameStateManagement sample, provided by the XNA team.

    Well instread of starting your game level when you run the program have it run your start screen.

    StartUpMenu();

    //something like that


    Then within the startup menu you can have an option to start the actual game from there. Try something simple at first to get the machanics in. Maybe just a picture with the words "Press start to begin".
