In which state should I add the main menu, or should i make it into another separate state? My main confusion here is how I manipulate states properly. Im a phaser/gamedev noob and I dont know how to start a game from the main menu syntax and mechanics-specific.
My idea for a main menu would be a simple background picture with a start button. But then, how do i jump start the game when the start button is clicked?
just for details, Im showing you this :
var game = new Phaser.Game(800,600, Phaser.AUTO, 'phaser-demo', {preload: preload, create: create, update: update, render: render});
