Task: Menus

[Metabolix]

Here is a draft:

• New game
  • List of maps (initially a dummy list)
  • Settings, if any.
  • Provide a way to choose either local game or a network game. Some possibilities:
    • Microsoft style: select single player or multiplayer from the main menu; people can join even before the map and settings are set and discuss things.
    • Blizzard style: first make the game, then wait for people; while waiting, show only minimal settings like teams and races.
    • Something else, what?
• Join game
  • Either enter an address or select from a list of known servers.
• Settings
  • Widget::TabPanel or something.
  • Some possible tabs:
    • Graphics (resolution, fullscreen)
    • Sound (music, unit sounds)
    • Gameplay (scrolling speed)
  • Make this good so that it can be used during the game as well!
• Credits
  • Make it look good. ;)
• Exit
