I’m pleased to announce a new extension: arcade-mini-menu! If you want to try it out, open the extensions dialog and search for this repo:
riknoll/arcade-mini-menu
This extension allows you to add menus to your game. Some of its features include:
Menus that can be used as sprites (with all the blocks in the Sprites category)
Support for both text and icons
Automatic scrolling when space is limited
Flexible menu layouts including single-column, single-row, and an x-y grid
A wide range of menu style options to match the look and feel of your game
Here is an example program that shows off how to use it in a few different ways:
All of the blocks should have help pages. For more info, right click on a block and select “Help”.
If you find any bugs or have any feature requests, please file them in the repo or just @ me in this thread. Just like my other extensions, once this has had a chance to be tested for a few weeks I plan to move it over to an official Microsoft repo that will show up in the default extension list. Please let me know if you have any feedback before then!
Is it possible to have an option to change the default style for all menus, so we don’t have to repeat the style code for every menu we create? (and then unset options for all created menus in the future will inherit the styles)
@richard is it possible for their to be personal menus for multiplayer games so each player could have their own individual shop, or so the menu will only pop up on one players screen not all of them when the menu is activated?
