Create a Start Menu Screen For Windows Form Games in C# and Visual Studio

In this tutorial we will go over how to make a start menu screen, game screen and help screen for any windows form games also we will load up the flappy bird game and add a start screen to it.
The start menu screen will technically solve a lot of problems for the game for example it can be helpful for people to be introduced to the game, you can have useful information there for users to read. it can also be used to restart the game when people lose the game if you dont have a restart function built to the game already.
Written tutorial - www.mooict.com...
Every game we do in Windows Form if you want to share it with others than its a good idea to make a title screen, game screen and help screen with it. It adds to the accessibility of games and games programming.
Hope you find this one helpful and keep programming.

Hey i really like your videos keep going. i have a question i have a count in the main screen game and the second screen doesn't recognize this counter.what should i do to fix this issue?

[@mooict]

Hi, take a look at the speed reader tutorial. I've worked with multiple forms on that one and it changes texts from one form to another I think that'll be helpful for your app.

How do I make it so the start window closes once I press play?

[@UmongusSussehFrusseh]

Add "this.Hide()" at the end.

[@eamonburns9597]

@@UmongusSussehFrusseh That works to hide it, but how do you make it show again when you close the game or help window?

It isn't the main focus of the video, but I was able to figure it out using the technique for referencing different forms.

What if the game was a project.cs and not made in forms

[@gbril3403]

watch at the second part of the toutorial... it shows how to do it

[@jaeger2918]

Hi, thanks for this very informative video! I am having an issue where the game runs in the background even before I click my "start game" button. How would I fix this?

[@ghostnoodle9721]

The fastest way would be to tie your start game method to initiate AFTER the start button is clicked, rather than on initialization of the whole program

Hi Moo ICT please How to set form2 to main window ?

[@mooict]

In the solutions explorer open Program.cs file inside of that replace Form1() to Form2(). That should open form2 when you run the app

[@mooict]

Hi you can do that 5 game in a similar way long as. They are all done in separate forms inside of the same project you can simply add buttons in the title screen for each form. How have you organised the projects so far?

[@vidhirughani489]

@@mooict i have make 5 separate projects for each game and for each game i have created starting page ..

[@vidhirughani489]

@@mooict now can i add this 5 game in one same project directly or i have to do the whole process again ??

[@UmongusSussehFrusseh]

I'd also like to throw in that you can close the startScreen when opening the helpScreen by doing this:
HelpScreen helpWindow = new HelpScreen();
helpWindow.Show();
this.Hide();
