Alright, it's time to implement the main menu.

Features:

  • game title (titscrn_1)
  • three buttons (New Game, Load Game, Quit Tone)
  • probably, parse configuration file describing the UI
  • button mouse hover behavior
  • sparkles!
  • after a while, the title starts scrolling up, with the credits and lore (credits.txt) appearing on the screen:
    • starts scrolling after 27 sec,
    • the title gets scrolled up at 38 sec,
    • looks like this (note intervals!): image image image

  • click sound

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement the scrolling title with credits and background music as described. Study the existing UI configuration parsing and button handling code to replicate the pattern for the new scrolling behavior. Add audio playback for background music and click sounds using the game's audio system.
