Docs/Menu, difficulty and modes

/arcade opens a protected inventory containing every enabled and permitted game. Each entry displays its board size, controls, selected difficulty, play mode and the player's best score.

The bottom controls cycle difficulty and preferred mode. The preference is remembered until the player leaves. If a game does not support the preferred mode, the menu selects a valid mode automatically.

#Difficulty

EASY uses more forgiving speeds, layouts or AI behavior.
NORMAL is the default intended experience.
HARD increases speed, hazards, AI accuracy or puzzle size depending on the game.

Difficulty does not apply one global multiplier. Each game uses it in a way appropriate to its rules.

#Play modes

Mode	Availability
`solo`	Snake, Tetris, Breakout, Flappy Block, 2048, Minesweeper, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Frogger, Simon Says, Lights Out and Doodle Jump
`bot`	Pong, Tron and Connect Four
`local`	Connect Four hot-seat mode

Local Connect Four alternates two players on the same screen and controls. It does not connect a second Minecraft account.

#Availability checks

A menu entry can be unavailable because the game is disabled, the player lacks its permission, the world is not allowed or a required resource pack is not loaded.
