# 1. Main Menu
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What is Main Menu?
|
|
Main menu is the first menu you see after the Intro Sequence, as well as the pause menu.
|
|
|
|
This menu is also used in Help & Options.

# Design Choices
|
|
## 1. Vertical Layout (Controller first)
|
|
Most of LCE's UIs are built for controllers, this is a prime example of it.
|
|
|
|
On the start menu, it's a 1:1 copy of Java, however, on the pause menu, instead of following a Grid layout like Java (which hinders the controller experience on consoles), it follows the same layout as the start menu.
|
|
|
|
| Java UI | LCE UI |
|
|
|:--------:|:------:|
|
|
|  |  |
|
|
|
|
If, let's say, you want to navigate to **Achievements**, on a controller you would typically want to go down, then left (assuming that going down moves to Statistics), compared to LCE UI's vertical button layout, which just lets you go down 3 times.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Reusing the Main Menu
|
|
|
|
When selecting **Help & Options**, it does not open an entirely new menu. Instead, it opens another variation of the Main Menu, with the buttons replaced by options relevant to the selected section. |
