It's been a few days since my last devlog. Between work and family commitments I've been really exhausted, but I've managed to make some changes to the main menu, and added a couple of other levels of sub-menus. The main menu now includes a settings menu. The settings menu includes the following options: Difficulty, Sound, Main Menu, and Quit. The Sound menu option is currently disabled, but the plan is to let players enable/disable music and sound effects. I have to re-code a bunch of code in order to implement the sound menu, so this is disabled for now.

The difficulty menu now includes several speed options: Slow, Normal, Fast, and Insane.

Slow and Normal have the same turning speed, but the normal setting ups the thrust/movement speed. The Fast and Insane speeds up both the turning and movement speed. At this point I haven't increased the point value for objects, but I'm considering increasing the value of the Asteroids and/or UFOs.

There's still a bunch of tweaking needed on the user interface, but things are coming along. I haven't uploaded the new options yet and I'm working 9am - 9pm tomorrow, so I won't likely be able to upload the new binaries until the weekend. By the weekend I'll hopefully had a bit of sleep and chance to tweak some of the menus so they're a bit more uniform.
