# Two of the three entries only exist when the game is run from Godot, so a
# shipped build shows one entry and an editor run shows three. There is no
# Quit: a web build has nothing to quit TO, and on Android the system back
# gesture already does it. Fixed
# offsets would leave holes where the hidden entries used to be - the same
# failure the HUD's button columns had, where a literal y meant "below the
# thing above me" and stopped being true when that thing moved. Here the
# stack is measured instead, and centred on whatever it ends up containing.

# produce through load(). The project's scripts and scenes reach each other
