The main menu is the first thing players see when they join your game. This guide builds one from scratch in Luau — a ScreenGui container, a centered panel, a title, and Play / Settings buttons stacked automatically with a UIListLayout. You can also start from the ready-made main-menu template in the editor and customize it.
1. Create the ScreenGui container
Every on-screen interface lives inside a ScreenGui. Put it in the local player's PlayerGui so it renders on their screen, and set ResetOnSpawn to false so the menu survives respawns.
2. Add a centered panel and title
A Frame acts as the menu background, a UICorner rounds it, and a TextLabel shows the game title. AnchorPoint 0.5,0.5 plus Position 0.5,0.5 centers the panel exactly on screen.
