Instantly bonks every icon entering the Geometry Dash main-menu background — and properly counts every single one.

Tiny mod. Maximum bonk energy. ⚡

✨ What it does

Instant Menu Kills watches the animated main-menu background and destroys each incoming PlayerObject as soon as it reaches the visible edge.

It is designed to work with:

• Geometry Dash's built-in menu player.
• Extra menu players created by other Geode mods.
• Reused player objects that teleport back to the left side after leaving the screen.
• The normal Destroyed Players statistic.
• Multiple menu icons appearing at the same time.

It only modifies MenuGameLayer. Your player inside actual levels is completely untouched.

🧸 Features

• Continuous kills: it does not stop after the first icon.
• All-player support: finds extra PlayerObjects added by menu customization mods.
• Real death path: calls Geometry Dash's own MenuGameLayer::destroyPlayer().
• Reliable counting: verifies stat key 9 and adds one only when another mod suppresses the normal increment.
• Instant edge detection: kills icons on the first frame they reach the visible left edge.
• Simple toggle: enable or disable the mod from Geode settings.
• Offline and lightweight: no networking, accounts, or background services.

📦 Installation

1. Download the newest .geode file from Releases.
2. Open Geode's Install From File option and select the downloaded package.
3. Restart Geometry Dash when Geode asks.
4. Sit on the main menu and watch the counter climb. Bonk. Bonk. Bonk. :3

🧠 How it works

The mod schedules an independent scanner on MenuGameLayer:

1. It recursively finds every PlayerObject in the menu layer.
2. It tracks each object's previous X position.
3. A large jump back to the left rearms that player for its next pass.
4. When the player reaches the visible edge, the mod temporarily points MenuGameLayer::m_playerObject at that exact object.
5. It calls the game's genuine destroyPlayer() function.
6. It checks the Destroyed Players statistic and only applies a fallback increment when another mod blocked the normal one.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the nerdy version.
