Hi! Can I somehow access menu options from code (volume, brightness, show stats etc.)? It would be nice so I don’t have to do it manually each time I restart the game.

What do you mean @bosnivan  
Those settings work on the gaming controllers thing.

Brightness should automatically save on hardware.

You can modify (and get? I think) volume in music category. There is settings extension to save small amounts of data.

Thanks. I totally forgot about Music’s setVolume command. I don’t use show stats option too much so I can live without it. 🙂
