Good question.  The screen layout isn't final, of course,
and I'm open to suggestions.  (Also, there will be a short
descriptive text for the countdown and how to pause it.)

I think it might make sense to provide an additional action
using the <Esc> key that leaves graphics mode and displays
the old text menu instead.

Best regards
   Oliver
