Options and Player Settings
When the game restarts at the GardenLevel1 scene, the player no longer has access to the StartMenu
scene. By creating a new scene for the main menu and settings menu, the player will be able to
access either from inside the game. The settings menu will be accessible from the main menu.
The Main Menu
Let's begin by refining the MenuBase scene that you stared earlier in the chapter. It provides
continuity between the various individual menus, yet allows for some quick differentiation. By
combining 2D with a 3D background, you will be able to incorporate a few of the 3D elements into
the scene as well.

Toggle the Scene view to 2D.

the terrain (Figure
