ah ok ok.

What do you mean by a different World Menu? Different options? a different
way to create it? or something else?

Why couldn't you get the same with the selector? Maybe I'm missing

In the last cs that Juan pushed I improved it a little, let me know if you
can follow it now.
I'll make a few changes more to use submenus

The disussion was really good! the problem is not being together to talk
about this things in person, for sure we could get better results
