I don't know where to post this since it doesn't really fit into any of the disscusion pages but hopefully I'll get some answers on here. this is my project and I'm in the process of updating and improving it. I want to make more space for an upgrade page (or button to open the page) and other stuff, does anyone have any siggestions of where to put it? (I'm also going to probably swap out the variables for sprites at some point)

Maybe you could create like separate menu for it entirely….. like a drawer system

For instance, during gameplay, you could display a subtle arrow button at the bottom center (or wherever fits best). Clicking it would expand the menu options upward, keeping the screen uncluttered when they aren't needed.

I used a similar sliding layout in my latest project, to keep the list from covering up the main interface. Feel free to check out how the bottom toggle works there if you'd like a visual example!

I was thinking of that but I'm not sure where I would really put it the button and how much the menu would cover when open Thanks for your idea though!

you may also keep the buttons to the side, or make a scrolling system
