[Xx-Ashutosh-xX]

sorry for not being to active @ajaykumarr123 , lets work on this issue together :)

[Xx-Ashutosh-xX]

I am currently working on a Start menu type of a thing where the user can change the colour of the coin.

@Xx-Ashutosh-xX Go ahead.

[bymayanksingh]

you will have to design a bunch of new colored svg coins.
you can straight away give the option to change color of the game board from blue to something else.
you can check if filling in a pattern instead of solid color can be achieved through pygame. (you will need to define those pattern)
at first you can assign a shortcut key to change the aesthetics randomly (I will suggest you this first, then you can integrate it with #9 )

are you creating new screen for colour change or providing options in starting screen?

[ajaykumarr123]

@code-monk08 is it looking fine check once and any suggestion??

[ajaykumarr123]

[Xx-Ashutosh-xX]

I am thinking of something like a window where the users select their colours and then proceed

[bymayanksingh]

are you creating new screen for colour change or providing options in starting screen?

you can provide options in starting screen itself, keep the current design consistent.

[ajaykumarr123]

@code-monk08 I mean color change option on starting page and different color, save option in new screen as shown in previous screenshots.

[Xx-Ashutosh-xX]

are you creating new screen for colour change or providing options in starting screen?

you can provide options in starting screen itself, keep the current design consistent.

Let's just keep one screen where a player could change their colour then start the game

[ajaykumarr123]

I think that save option would be more proper for this and after press save button go back to starting page

[bymayanksingh]

Let's just keep one screen where a player could change their colour then start the game

I completely agree with this.

[ajaykumarr123]

@code-monk08 I have completed first part and opened a PR #35 .

[Xx-Ashutosh-xX]

@code-monk08 I modified ajay's code and opened a PR #38
I have combined everything in one screen and also added the logo

[ajaykumarr123]

@code-monk08 @Xx-Ashutosh-xX ya, I was thinking the same btw thanks for modification.
