# gLife's options

`gLife` has three main menus, explained below:

## The file menu

Parts of this menu are only accessible at different times.

Start simulation

  Starts a new simulation. The only menu option which is accessible initially. It is only accessible when no simulation is running: either actively, or paused.

Restart simulation

  Restarts the simulation from turn one again, using the same animals and terrain. It is only available when a simulation is running but has been paused.

End simulation

  Ends the simulation and clears the grid.

Exit

  What it says. Exits `gLife` and closes the window. This option is always available.

## The settings menu

There is only one option available on the Settings Menu: that of Preferences. See the section about things to fiddle with for details.

## The help menu

There are two options on the Help Menu:

gLife Documentation

  This option is what brought you to this guide to `gLife`. Well, probably.

About

  This option brings up a `dialogue box` with information about `gLife`: its author, copyright details, version number, and website location.
