From a small search i was doing on the forums i saw that a ps2 xmb styled menu got a lot of you excited , hence im creating this small tutorial on how to create a really simple menu in Lua.
Im using PS2 Lua Player v0.20(R3)
Heres how your program will look:
main.lua
Coding:
Happy coding.-- images used for navigation/menuicons
pic1=Image.load("Theme/1.png")
pic2=Image.load("Theme/2.png")
pic3=Image.load("Theme/3.png")
pic4=Image.load("Theme/4.png")
pic5=Image.load("Theme/5.png")
pic6=Image.load("Theme/6.png")
pic7=Image.load("Theme/7.png")
pic8=Image.load("Theme/8.png")
--menu
selected=1
maxselected=8
while true do
pad=Controls.read()
--How Controls react on left/right
if pad:right() and oldpad:right() ~= pad:right() then
selected = selected+1
end
if pad:left() and oldpad:left() ~= pad:left() then
selected = selected-1
end
if selected > maxselected then
selected=1
elseif selected <=0 then
selected=maxselected
end
if selected==1 then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,pic1)
end
if selected==2 then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,pic2)
end
if selected==3 then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,pic3)
end
if selected==4 then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,pic4)
end
if selected==5 then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,pic5)
end
if selected==6 then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,pic6)
end
if selected==7 then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,pic7)
end
if selected==8 then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,pic8)
end
--Actions for each icon selection
if pad:cross() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross() and selected==1 then
dofile("Enter Here your next lua file")
end
if pad:cross() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross() and selected==2 then
dofile("Enter Here your next lua file")
end
if pad:cross() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross() and selected==3 then
dofile("Enter Here your next lua file")
end
if pad:cross() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross() and selected==4 then
dofile("Enter Here your next lua file")
end
if pad:cross() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross() and selected==5 then
dofile("Enter Here your next lua file")
end
if pad:cross() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross() and selected==6 then
dofile("Enter Here your next lua file")
end
if pad:cross() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross() and selected==7 then
dofile("Enter Here your next lua file")
end
if pad:cross() and oldpad:cross() ~= pad:cross() and selected==8 then
dofile("Enter Here your next lua file")
end
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
oldpad = pad
end
