Build a Space Shooter with MonoGame – 6

Now that we’re done with the classes for our game object’s, let’s create one more class for our menu buttons. Add a new class named MenuButton.cs. In that class, add the usual two using statements. This class does not need to extend anything. Next, add the following fields and properties: private Game1 game; private Vector2 position; private Texture2D texDefault; private Texture2D texOnDown; private Texture2D texOnHover; private Texture2D currentTexture; public Rectangle boundingBox; public bool isActive { get; set; } public bool lastIsDown = false; private bool _isDown = false; private bool _isHovered = false; Then we will add two methods for setting whether the button is pushed down or not, and whether the mouse is hovering over the button or not....

The last two classes we’ll add will be devoted to the scrolling background system. Create a new class, and name it ScrollingBackground.cs. This class does not __need to inherit anything. It will still need the two usual using statements. We will want to add two fields containing background textures and layers: private List<Texture2D> textures = new List<Texture2D>(); private List<ScrollingBackgroundLayer> layers = new List<ScrollingBackgroundLayer>(); The step is to add the constructor. We will be creating a vertical “stack” of three backgrounds, but we’ll be creating two more layers of backgrounds on top....
