Improve game screen/menu #24

Closed ExcaliburZero closed 9 years ago

ExcaliburZero commented 9 years ago

Currently the game has a built in sub-menu that appears while the game is being played. Unfortunately, the default sub-menu does not looks very good, and overlaps somewhat with the game screen.

The sub-menu can be seen at the bottom right of the following screenshot.

I have seen other Ren'Py based visual novels, such as Katawa Shoujo, that have opted to remove this sub-menu and replace it with a similar menu that pops up when the right mouse button is clicked.

An example of this can be found in the following screenshot.

Since the pop-up sub-menu seems to look and work a bit better than the current default sub-menu, I think I will try to implement some sort of pop-up submenu.

I've started working on the in-game menu using the add-game-menu-24 branch. It's going well so far.

Once I get some of the problems with it fixed I will merge it into the master branch.

Here's a screenshot of the work in progress in-game menu:

I've gotten the in-game menu working fine. However my implementation of it has messed up some other menus, as shown in the image below.

I think I'm going to try doing the menus in a method whereby they all pop-up over the current screen rather than being all on their won screen. I'm not sure, but I'll continue looking into the issue.

I've gotten most of the problems with the menus fixed so far. I think I'll finish the odds and ends up, and then hold off on doing any more modifications to the menu system for a bit.

ExcaliburZero commented 9 years ago

I have gotten the menus all set for now, and have merged the branch I was working on into the master branch.

Since I have added in the in-game menu, I will close this issue.

I have done a bit of work on getting an alternate method of implementing the in-game menu working. This method should be a bit more simplistic and work better.

ExcaliburZero commented 9 years ago

I think I've got the in-game menu working better now, using the new method of implementing it. I have now merge the changes I've made into the master branch.

Here is what it currently looks like:

Since I've gotten the alternate implementation working, I will close this issue.
