    9. Game #8, Treasure Chest > Time for action — showing the menu

    Time for action — showing the menu

    The menu screen is shown using the following steps:

    1. Add the method ShowMenu into the game class.
      Method ShowMenu:Int()
    2. Set the game mode to gmMenu and activate layers with it. Then, close the method.
      gameMode = gmMenu
ActivateLayer(gameMode)
Return 0
End

    What just happened?

    We created a simple method to display the menu layer.
