Tloz, you are brave for attempting to even consider messing with the Win32 API.  I hear it's painful :/

Hmm I'm not familiar with the Windows API. Is it just some sort of software to code for Windows or more like a library?

Indeed, but aimed at graphical user interfaces GUIs for Windows. It's what Wabbitemu uses. It makes things not cross-platform though :(

Tloz, you could use a library instead of the direct API. I use SFML personally but there's also wxwidgets, and qt for GUI stuff.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

I think a tutorial on Menus in Axe (such as the Psyche or Tag menu for example) would be amazing.

well, technically, all you need to do is draw something cool in paint, convert it, and write the code for selecting options like you do for custom menus in BASIC.

I can do this in my spare time I guess.

You can always try doing a menu like thepenguin's older games have.  They look very clean, yet they're not too difficult to make.
Examples:

http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/429/42901.html

(If you'd like to see an Axe adaptation, check out Axe Snake in my sig.  The source is included.)

Good luck. :D

Yeah menus like that are kinda easy. The only issue is that your game then has a very dated look because that's how every game menu were made on calc in the '90s. :P

I wish I still coded so I could convert my ROL4 menu engine in Axe. It was dynamic.

I remember the graphic background for the ROL4 menu (or ROL4ever, to be specific on the attempt) looked awesome :)
