Here is some basic code to show you how it works.

gameState variable is the screen you want (start menu, main game, try again, etc.)

You add a button and text over the button, then add touch input to make it switch to different gameState.

In an actual game, the play screen will link to the main game, then when the game is over it will change gameState to the back screen, which has the score and high score or whatever and links back to the play screen.

displayMode(FULLSCREEN)
supportedOrientations(PORTRAIT_ANY)
function setup()
    button=readImage("Cargo Bot:Dialogue Box") -- store button graphic as variable
    font("Futura-CondensedExtraBold") -- font style
    fontSize(128) -- font size
    fill(0, 0, 0, 255) -- font color
    gameState=0 -- first screen that loads
end
function draw()
    if gameState==0 then
        background(0, 0, 0, 255) -- black background
        sprite(button, WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2,512,256) -- place button and determine size
        text("PLAY",WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2) -- place text
        -- if touch happens in location that button covers then change scene
        if CurrentTouch.state==BEGAN then
            if CurrentTouch.x>WIDTH/2-256 and CurrentTouch.x<WIDTH/2+256
            and CurrentTouch.y>HEIGHT/2-128 and CurrentTouch.y<HEIGHT/2+128 then
                gameState=1
            end
        end
    end
    -- same as above
    if gameState==1 then
        background(0, 0, 0, 255)
        sprite(button, WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/4,512,256)
        text("BACK",WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/4)
        if CurrentTouch.state==BEGAN then
            if CurrentTouch.x>WIDTH/2-256 and CurrentTouch.x<WIDTH/2+256
            and CurrentTouch.y>HEIGHT/4-128 and CurrentTouch.y<HEIGHT/4+128 then
                gameState=0
            end
        end
    end
end

@Perscirious Have you seen the “Wiki” choice at the top of the forum… There’s a lot of info in there as well.

@Reefwing has a good tutorial on a menu (tutorials 1-5 on this site). Once you understand the basics of how that menu works, you can design your own based on the basic template those tutorials show.
