How to open a window after pushing a button

I could not find the right answer after a long search.

This is my script:

%% Create a figure window
fig=uifigure();
%% Create the 'PLAY GAME' push button
play_game = uibutton(fig,'push');
play_game.Text = 'PLAY GAME';
play_game.Position = [100, 490, 170, 50];

How can I open another window after pushing the 'play game' button?

Thanks

Check out the description for the ButtonPushedFcn in uibuttons.

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.ui.control.button-properties.html#d122e1486694

play_game.ButtonPushedFcn = @(src, event)myPlaybackFunction(src, event)

function myPlaybackFunction(src, event)
    % do stuff
end

I've done this:

play_game.ButtonPushedFcn = @(src, fig2)PlayGameFunction(src, fig2);

function PlayGameFunction(~,~) 
 % do stuff 
fig2 = uifigure(); 
end

It works but I'm not sure if it is correct

Are you doing this in App Designer? If so, you should pass in the app (play_game?) handle like this,

play_game.ButtonPushedFcn = @(src, fig2)PlayGameFunction(app, src, fig2); 

function PlayGameFunction(app,~,~) 
 % do stuff 
end

Your function is just creating a uifigure. If that's what you want the "play game" button to do, then the approach looks file, outside of app designer and assuming you don't need the two inputs.
