Cocos2dx: Menus

In .h:

class HelloWorld : public cocos2d::Layer

{

public:

   

    static cocos2d::Scene* createScene();

    virtual bool init();

    

    // implement the "static create()" method manually

    CREATE_FUNC(HelloWorld);

    // The menu items:

    void Play(Ref *pSender);

    void Highscores(Ref *pSender);

    void Settings(Ref* pSender);

    void ImageButton(Ref *pSender);

   

};

Implementation:

bool HelloWorld::init()

{

    if ( !Layer::init() )

    {

        return false;

    }

    

    Size visibleSize = Director::getInstance()->getVisibleSize();

    Vec2 origin = Director::getInstance()->getVisibleOrigin();

    

    auto menu_item_1 = MenuItemFont::create("Play",
                       CC_CALLBACK_1(HelloWorld::Play, this));

    auto menu_item_2 = MenuItemFont::create("Highscores",
                       CC_CALLBACK_1(HelloWorld::Highscores, this));

    auto menu_item_3 = MenuItemFont::create("Settings",
                       CC_CALLBACK_1(HelloWorld::Settings, this));

    auto menu_item_4 = MenuItemImage::create("CloseNormal.png", "CloseSelected.png",                    
                       CC_CALLBACK_1(HelloWorld::ImageButton, this));

    

  

    auto *menu = Menu::create(menu_item_1,menu_item_2,menu_item_3,menu_item_4,NULL);

    menu->alignItemsVerticallyWithPadding(visibleSize.height/4);

    this->addChild(menu);

    

    return true;

}

void HelloWorld::Play(cocos2d::Ref *pSender){

    CCLOG("Play");

}

void HelloWorld::Highscores(cocos2d::Ref *pSender){

    CCLOG("Highscores");

}

void HelloWorld::Settings(cocos2d::Ref *pSender){

    CCLOG("Settings");

}

void HelloWorld::ImageButton(cocos2d::Ref *pSender){

    CCLOG("IMAGE BUTTON");

}

Alternatively, you can do this instead of menu->alignItemsVerticallyWithPadding(40) :

    menu_item_1->setPosition(Point(visibleSize.width/2,(visibleSize.height/5)*4));

    menu_item_2->setPosition(Point(visibleSize.width/2,(visibleSize.height/5)*3));

    menu_item_3->setPosition(Point(visibleSize.width/2,(visibleSize.height/5)*2));

    menu_item_4->setPosition(Point(visibleSize.width/2,(visibleSize.height/5)*1));
