It's pretty much perfect for my needs though, so I'm hoping there's an easy fix that enables simply closing a menu when an item is selected. Or if anyone happens to know of another menu library, one that ideally: - allows for menus to be easily opened and closed - allows more than one column of menu items - allows for graphical elements in the menu items I'd love to hear about it. > On Sun, Sep 23, 2018 at 11:10 PM Alec Bennett <wrybr...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I'm trying to add the beautiful menus from Pygame-menu ( >> https://github.com/ppizarror/pygame-menu) to my project, but having >> trouble.
