You need a gui library, and which one is best for your needs depends on what you want to do and what operating system you are using.

A very simple one is included with glut, on windows, mfc is the standard, on linux it’s motif, and a newer one that runs on linux and windows ist QT, although the windows version is not for free.

You are talking about having these options located in the center of the screen like many other 3D games?

You can ether just draw text to the screen or use a predrawn image with the options.

Then just read the mouse input and based on the location clicked on is the option selected.

To give more details would have to know what OS and language you are using.
