Here's a similar thing made for #Minetest for the game jam. It's even more impressive given how limited the UI API is for Minetest - this is actually done using the HUD API using the player camera movement to get mouse movement

2023 Minetest GAME JAM

#Minetest 5.8 will have an improved settings menu

The new design should be much easier to use. Settings are organised in a more logical way, and you can see more settings without digging into a huge advanced settings tree

#Minetest no longer ships with a default game.

For a long time, Minetest shipped with a default game called "Minetest Game". This was a fairly barebones survival game and gave a bad first impression. Minetest is all about customisation, the choice of multiple games is a big part of that. Now, new users are directed to choose a game using ContentDB

We'll be making further improvements in the future to make this process easier to understand

We're now in feature freeze for #Minetest 5.8! This is a period of time before a release where we only do bug fixes

Highlights:

* Minetest no longer ships with a default game
* A redesigned Settings GUI
* Improved Android controls, can place nodes with single tap
* Improved antialiasing filters
