C++ - Creating\Handling SDL Menu To Start Game How can I implement a main menu?

I have been following the tutorials at http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/index.php and although they are all very well written and I have learned more than I would have on my own, I am blind tonot sure how I could implement these tutorials, or where to go, to build about building a basic main menu that has the normal, New Game, Settings "new game, Exit" "settings" and "exit" options.

New Game would navigate through a few additional menus to setup the game.

How would I handle such a menu inside of a normal game loop and are there any decent examples of "basic" games like Chess or Checkers?
