hey guys i have this code, and i have been working on it for a while. Its a game that when the start button is clicked a bunch of buttons pop onto the screen and one button is highlighted, if the player clicks the highlighted button the player gains score but if the player doesn't click the correct button the player loses score. The game works fine, but when i tried to make the main menu is where things went wrong. When i click the start button it opens the window where the game is supposed to be(it has the correct window name so i know its working), however there aren't any buttons. Can someone please help since i have been stuck on this problem for about a week.
Thanks
