Creating Random Menus, or random anything!

Scripting Random Menus

A new tutorial on the site deals with a number of ideas for making random menus appear for the user. You might well ask what the point is in making this kind of thing, but it is all about enriching the user experience for your disc.

Consider the scenario where you want to reveal slightly different information each time the user visits a particular menu. Or how about adding an easter egg button to only one menu in a set of 10? What about just for visual interest, changing the background image every time that menu is accessed?

The tutorial shows you ways of achieving all of these things, and with your own ideas added in to the mix there is a lot that can be done to improve the quality of your projects. There are files available for download, and the scripting is all explained in the tutorial. It’s very short, and pretty simple, but does rely on using the ‘Item Values’ for menus. If you are not sure about this, you can find out more about item values on this site, too!
