public class LudoMenuController
extends MenuController

LudoMenuController.

Extends MenuController to manage the Ludo game setup menu. It is responsible for initializing the menu view with Ludo-specific options, such as allowed player token types (typically circles for Ludo) and colors. It uses a LudoBoardFactory to create and provide different Ludo board variants (e.g., Classic, Small, Large).

This controller handles player configuration, including creating LudoPlayer instances from the menu input. It also defines the minimum and maximum number of players allowed for a Ludo game and supports loading player configurations from a file, ensuring only Ludo players are imported.
