Settings layout
For my game I added a extras and a settings screen for the player to view extra content and also change some game settings so it can improve player experience while playing the game.
Here is what my current options screen looks like in-game. Most of the buttons on here are just text boxes which the player clicks to change options. I ahvent done a lot of the coding for this page as ive worked on other areas of my game and only finsihed the visual side to the options screen. This screen is how the finished version of my game should look like, minus the buttons dont share the same font as the title and text along the left side of the screen as that is a font i use in illustator.
For the finished options screen i wanted selected options to have a highlight box or backgound behind the buttons which inicate to the player which options are in use for simple feedback along with sounds when i button is clicked too. Only the back button has those features currently.
Settings issue #1
I found out construct 3 doesnt allow options to the player to change screen resolution, screen size or have the developer add it as a feature to the game.
I looked on the construct forums, youtube and google for any help on allowing the player to change screen options for changing the screen resolution to any desired width and legnth. that and the screen mode such as fullscreen, windowed or boarderless. Nothing i could find that was useful to help me implement these features into my game.
Form the screenshot above I will remove screen resolution sizes, screen modes and shaders from the list fo things from my options page. this will leave a large open space which isnt ideal as it will make the page look empty and unfinished. I could, as a solution, add a list of controls so player can see them and start the game with basic knowlage of the controls without having a tutorial. Though if i had more time I would add a tutorial but this is better than figuring the controls out as the player goes along.
This i what the options page looks like now withou the features which i cannot program due to construct 3 being restrictive of changing the settings or allowing me to create a system to let the player change the settings in the explorted game.
