I made the login screen with the help of a friend but I'm kinda stuck now I don't know how to follow up :(

turf/title_screen //the main title screen graphic
icon = 'Login.dmi'

//each button is a separate obj
obj/title_screen_button
icon = 'buttons.dmi'
newc
icon_state = "new"
load
icon_state = "load"
quit
icon_state = "quit"

obj/title_screen_button
icon = 'buttons.dmi'
newc
icon_state = "new"
Click()
usr << "You create a new character!"
...
load
icon_state = "load"
Click()
usr << "You load a character!"
...
quit
icon_state = "quit"
Click()
usr << "You leave! Bye!"
del usr

WSHGC	Ignoring the code(for now) What you do after is honestly up to you. There's something you may want to do that others may not do, so it's best to say specifically what you want to do after your creation screen for more help.

Teixeira15	WSHGC, sorry! Its just quite frustrating I've only started to code today but its so hard to learn...and sadly I have no one that can teach me. Well I made the Login work, it has new load and quit but none of them has any real purposes like new is suposed to give the player entry to the game as for example asking for what gender they want to be or class ect..

I would've preferred a different way to show you, but eh you're just starting, so as an example

mob
    Login()
        var/choice = input(src, "New or Load?") as null | anything in list("New", "Load")
        if(!choice)
            del(src)
            return
        if(choice == "New")
            var/user_gender = input(src, "What gender?") as null | anything in list("male", "female")
            if(!user_gender)
                user_gender = "male" //forces male if they don't decide
            if(user_gender == "male")
                src.gender = MALE
                src.icon = 'male.dmi' //only if pre-made base made
            else
                if(user_gender == "female")
                    src.gender = FEMALE
                    src.icon = 'female.dmi' //only if pre-made base made

I'd suggest reading some tutorials and using F1 anytime to help when and where you're stuck.

Also, start putting your code in dm tags.

<dm*>code here</dm*> (without the *)
