Menus - Pygame Tutorial

Menus (or different "screens") are something I get a lot of questions about. Menus are actually pretty simple to implement once you understand the basic concept behind them.

would love to see a full series on how to make RPG game. Like basic mechanics, systems.

Actually figured this out on my own surprisingly. Saw this vid and wanted to compare our code, turns out its pretty similar! Thanks for the videos!

[RobinNeville]

You legend. Giving each screen its own game loop is such a good idea.

I thought this vid was fantastic. I'm trying to get into the whole programming language thing almost from scratch. I've done a couple of really good python tutorials on line so I can get the gist of what's going on here. But this is many levels on from my current ability and it is truly inspiring and exciting to watch.
An amazing vid in my opinion. Thank you so much for posting.

Great video that explains using different screens perfectly!

[MSTennis]

Need more of this! If you could and have the time I’d like to see how you make a fully developed menu.

Thank you for this, wishing you best of luck

[dubpperofi]

[keerthipranavi]

[SchwiftyFingers]

You are amazing. ❤ Even Chat gpt doesn't make it this simple

[angelluisgarciaguzman]

This is the part where you clutch that sweet-sweet inheritance quirk

[WiddleGwoblin]

I somehow understand this now, so thanks a lot!

[FoonDeath]

No questions, just want to say I enjoyed the info and examples man. Thanks from someone using pygame and eyetracking for his thesis

I was testing and running before the whole thing finished and I was getting weird errors about syntax for "button_2 = pygame etc...
More specifically the "b" in button was highlighted, but it had no problem with button_1 = py..etc
I checked all my other syntax and I couldn't find a reason but I copied the pastebin and it was the exact same, no issues! lol. Thanks! This helped me grasp the refreshing of the screens while switching functions/menus/screens.
