NAME

       init_menu - Low level initialisation of a menu. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       MENU_PLAYER *init_menu(MENU *menu, int x, int y);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  provides  lower  level  access to the same functionality as do_menu(), but
       allows you to  combine  a  popup  menu  with  your  own  program  control  structures.  It
       initialises  a  menu,  returning  a  pointer to a menu player object that can be used with
       update_menu() and shutdown_menu().  With these functions, you  could  implement  your  own
       version of do_menu() with the lines:

          MENU_PLAYER *player = init_menu(menu, x, y);

          while (update_menu(player))
             ;

          return shutdown_menu(player);
