Title: Main Menus
Post by: SirCmpwn on June 09, 2010, 01:09:15 pm

Hello,
I wanted to discuss all of your opinions on how to best approach a title/menu screen.  As you have probably seen from my previous Axe programs, I like to have an AI play the game in the background, and just give the player control over the game when they hit go.  What are your opinions?

Usually old games idle on the title screen then after 10-15 seconds this is when the AI starts, but you could have it starts immediately. Just make sure your program won't end up too large, though (use routines).

Well, take a look at snake for instance.

yeah that would be a nice idea ^^

(I think it ran slower on title screen, though. It might be nice if you want the game AI demo to be slow motion on title screen, though.)
