(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); How do you make the menu open and closable? I just have it now to where it fades away but when it's faded away whatever menu option you were on can still be activated. I don't like it. Also is there a away to not to sacrifice any buttons? Right now I can't use any of the DPAD buttons for normal game use because i use them all in the menu. Anyways, can someone please answer these questions in a n00b friendly way? Thanks in advance.

Yes, what you have to do is make a standard layout you will be using the whole game. Then a layout that specifically activates when you open the menu. Then a line that reverts it back to the old layout when it closes.
Beyond that you'll want to make your menu non-fading.
