Enter High Score Board

I have decided to include the following items in this screen:
  • Title of screen
  • Three letters that can be changed
  • An OK button to confirm the name and move on to the next screen

Here is the initial design for the screen, created on the computer.









The design of each button includes:
  • Main colour fill
  • Highlight colour along the top edge of the button
  • Highlight colour down the right side of the button
  • Lowlight colour along the bottom edge of the button
  • Lowlight colour down the left side of the button

There are three types of button:
  • Upper button
    • Above the letters
    • Go up one letter when the crosshair is held over the button for two consecutive frames
  • Lower button
    • Below the letters
    • Go down one letter when the crosshair is held over the button for two consecutive frames
  • OK button
    • Larger than the other buttons so that it is visually obvious
    • Has “OK” written on it
    • When crosshair is held over the button for two consecutive frames, allows the name to be saved to the external text file, the order of the scores and names are reorganised in the external file and the View High Score Board screen is then displayed.
The final version of the Enter High Score Board.
