Mr. RPG

Anything different about these functions now?

Currently, I only have the iOS (and HTML5) modules. While I want to make use of my iOS module I do not have a Mac (costs way too much). However, I decided that I could use my brother's MacBook Pro to test with the iOS module. I was originally going to do this however..

 

I currently have a bit more money to spend because of my birthday (which is today) which is enough for me to get a Nexus 10, since I also want to develop the same game for Android. Do you think I should save up for a Mac mini or just get the Nexus 10 now and wait for a Mac mini when the Macs get a hardware refresh? I should be able to test without actually having the Android module correct?

 

I really need to make a decision soon, so I am curious as to what you guys think I should do.

Yeah, this should be an easy solution, but I cannot figure it out and it is causing me to get stressed over it. It's really frustrating.

 

I made a menu, currently it will draw one column, but if the menu_size (amount of options for the menu) of the menu has more than 3 options, then I want the next 3 options to be drawn in a new column. This is pretty much what I am trying to do, but I can't figure it out.

 

I won't even bother to post any of the code I have, it is just a horrid mess. I somehow managed to make extra columns, but they just draw the same options over and over. It's just depressing that I cannot figure out something so simple.

I'm currently using a nifty script that I named "collision_mouse". It is pretty obvious at what it does.

return (mouse_x > argument0 && mouse_y > argument1 && mouse_x < argument2 && mouse_y < argument3);

The problem is, that I cannot use it "properly" for a menu so you can use touch or mouse with it.

[size=2]            if (collision_mouse(x,y,x + menu_width,y + (i*global.font_height)+4))[/size]
            {
                draw_text(x,y + (i*global.font_height)+4,string(i) + ">");
[size=2]            }[/size]

This is a part of the script that loops everything that is in the menu[] array. The problem is the mouse will sometimes hover on multiple items at once. However, seeing the whole thing is always better. So here it is.

Use Enter to create a new menu. Check the Draw Event of oMenu. You'll notice in the game that if you hover your mouse over one of the selections it will hover over everything.. Now I was thinking about increasing the height of the selections but I can't seem to get to work correctly.

Also, I have another question. How do I make the width of the menu window the width of the longest string of the menu selections? I was going to do a loop to check for it.. but if there's a faster way I would love to know.

What are these? Are these functions for getting images from the camera roll?

They aren't documented yet so I would have no idea on how to use them.
