Quick Tips for Gamemaker Part 4 StartEnd Screen Quick Thoughts. In my last Quick Tips gamemaker blog post, I covered how to keep and display a score for the user during your game. Today, I will show you how you can add simple start and end screens. This is not a complex idea but is very important as almost every game out there, whether it be super simple or super complex, has some sort of start and end screen. The start screen typically includes some sort of button that allows the user to start playing the game. It might also have a button for an about page or something similar, but today, we are going to focus on adding simply a play button. As far as the end screen, we will add two buttons, quit and restart, that will allow the user to either go back to the start screen or restart their game.

Project games on the big screen play as a class. In Game Maker how do you make the screen follow more than 1 object since I made a part where your character can get in car but i have to change the speed so i change. In gamemaker, the idea here is to basically have three different rooms, one for start menu, one for playing the game, and one for after the player loses or finishes the game. The play button will be added to the start screen and the  restart and quit buttons will be added to the end screen. We will start by creating the three individual buttons that will be added to your rooms. For this part, choose a simple image that relates to your game. For example, in my game  Rain Dodge game, I chose a cloud. We will use this image to create the following three sprites  sprplaybutton, sprquitbutton, and sprrestartbutton. I will lay out the steps for creating the first one, and the second two will follow suit. First, create a sprite named  sprstartbutton, and load the image that you chose to use for these buttons. Now, we need to set a couple of the properties for this sprite. Under origin, click on center to set the origin for this image at its center. Secondly, click on modify mask, and then under shape, click on precise. It should look similar to the below snapshot. Now, you want to add some text on top of your image. Click edit sprite, and you should see this screen. Double click on your image, and another screen should pop up. This is where we are going to add the text. Click the T symbol see the first arrow, and then you should see Font box like the one below. You can click on the font box second arrow to bring up your choices for font, size, and style. Make those choices and add the word Play by clicking on the image. You might have to play around with the size a couple of times to get the best fit, but once you do, go ahead and center the text. You should see something like this. Very nice.   Now you can save this and create the second two sprites quit and restart in the same manner. Just follow the above steps but obviously change the names out. Now, we need to create the objects for each of these sprites. This is actually pretty simple. For the play object, create an object called objplaybutton, and load the corresponding sprite. Save, close, and do the same for the other two sprites, again, changing the names appropriately. Alright, so we now have the three buttons, but we need our two additional rooms, start and end. Im assuming you have already created your game room. That said, lets start with the start room no pun intended. Create a room and call it, yepyou guessed it, startroom. Click on background and then choose a color that suits your app. Lastly, add your play button here. Save and close.   Should look similar to the below screen. Similarly, we are going to the same thing for the end room, but we are going to add two objects, the restart and quit buttons. Because you are adding two buttons here, they might need to be resized a little to make them both fit. Should look something like this when you are done. Alright, we are down to the last few steps. Here, we need to do add the event handler for each of the buttons. So, open back up the three button objects. For each, we are going to add the mouse left pressed event, and for the event we will add the go to room action. It can be found under the main. It is the room with the down arrow, shown below. For the start and restart buttons, we want to go to the gameroom,  but for the quit button we want to go to the startroom. Make sense Now, youre probably asking how to get from the game to the end room  Well, that part is up to you. It might happen when your player collides with something or runs out of time. Whatever the scenario may be, simply add another go to room action under that event, and choose to go to the endroom. OkLAST STEP.   We just need to make sure that your start screen is the first screen that appears when you start the game. To do this, ensure that startroom is the first listed under Rooms on the left. You can just drag startroom above gameroom. Should look like this. Alright we are done. Whew  Now you have a game that has movement, score, and start and end screens. We are making progress. Feel free to go back and look at any of the previous walkthroughs.
