Covers the full implementation: a data struct for menu items, a static math helper class for layout calculations (center, radii, segment angles, icon positioning), a custom visual element that draws filled and stroked ring/pie segments with gradients, and a MonoBehaviour controller that handles input, opening/closing the menu, icon placement, hover highlighting, and selection events. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
