Menu Builder Template

Don't want to spend hours developing a menu system for your new game project? Then try using this template. It provides many functions such as playing intro scenes before the game starts, mapping keys, adjusting mouse, game, and sound settings, and having a credits section.

As an added bonus Social's FPS template now comes packaged as an example of how to apply the menu to a game.
For a tutorial on integrating it into your own game, see the Tutorials section.
