Let's review what was changed: https://github.com/vleue/bevy_workshop-rustweek-2025/compare/0-zero..05-intro-to-bevy

Adding a Start Menu

We'll add a new plugin to handle the start menu. It will be very similar to the splash screen plugin, with different text and with a different condition to change state.

Tips:

• Create a new file for the new plugin, you can copy splash.rs as a starting point

• Change the state conditions and state scopes to GameState::StartMenu

• Modify the text to display a start menu instead of a splash screen

• Create a new variant of GameState for the game

• Modify the condition to change state to check for a key press instead of a timer

  • The system parameter for key press is Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>
  • Checking that any key was just pressed can be done with keyboard.get_just_pressed().next().is_some()

• Add the new plugin to the application
