XNA Level Select Menu
- by user29901
I'll try to explain this the best I can. I'm trying to create a level select menu for a game I'm making. The menu is basically a group of blocks numbered 1-16, similar to something like the Angry Birds menu. What I've done is created a cursor, basically just an outline to surround a block, that the user can move to select what level they want to play. What I want it do is move from block to block instead of simply moving around on the X and Y axes as it does now.
So my question is, how can I get the cursor (highLight in the below code) to move from block to block(destinationRectangle1 etc. in the code)?
/// Field for the "cursor"
Vector2 highLightPos = new Vector2(400, 200);
///This is the Update code
KeyboardState keyBoardState = Keyboard.GetState();
if (keyBoardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Up))
highLightPos.Y--;
if (keyBoardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Down))
highLightPos.Y++;
if (keyBoardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Right))
highLightPos.X++;
if (keyBoardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Left))
highLightPos.X--;
/// This is the draw code

PS, I'm aware that this code is probably inefficient, cumbersome or that there's a better way to draw parts of a tile sheet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
