Description
"Retro Menu" is a Multi-Language solution to configure game preferences. Its identity was designed for Android and iOS devices, and its code is intended to be relatively simple to understand and modify.
Main features:
Controls:
- Compatibility with Touch Controls and Gamepads. Both settings are handled by the same algorithm.
- Automatic Input Recognition: Prevents "On-Screen Controls" preferences from being overridden by Gamepads' and vice versa.
- Instant loading of preferences: When detecting the change of controls, it automatically loads the last configuration saved for it.
- Smart commands remapping: Prevents the insertion of duplicate values in controls. (So the user doesn't look silly looking for a non-existent command during the game)
- Interactive Debugger (Controls): A feature offered in graphical mode, which aims to assist in implementation tests. With it, you can:
- View the names assigned to the keys/variables of the implemented commands, and thus, analyze their coherence and consistency in relation to the documentation guidelines (Touch and Gamepad).
- View the last saved values (Touch and Gamepad).
- Possibility to test current commands with customizable text output (Touch and Gamepad).
- Possibility to show/hide "Virtual Keys" - A feature that can help you redefine touch interaction areas.
- Possibility to reset controls to default.
- Possibility to return to the menu.
Language support:
- Portuguese (Brazil), English (US), Spanish, French and German.
- Possibility to add more language files in JSON format. Using this methodology has the following advantages:
- Reading, understanding and editing this project's JSON files is as simple as taking notes - it can be done in any text editor, by virtually anyone.
- Text files are decoupled from the code, and therefore can be delivered directly to translators if convenient.
- The implementation of new translations happens dynamically: Just copy the language files to the indicated folder, run the project and test.
General:
- Credits screen with a background inspired by arcade "space shooters", which can be edited easily: Just enter the text you want to show on screen.
- Audio group controllers (general, effects and music) that apply changes instantly.
- Game difficulty selector that can be linked to a script, with a few lines of code (an example is provided in the project)
- Data persistence for all configurations
- Documentation with code examples, step-by-step instructions and several functions for debugging code and outputting information.
