Filter Achievements in Pause Menus

📋 Summary

Enhance the LaunchBox and Big Box pause menus by adding the ability to filter or sort achievements, making it easier for players to quickly find the achievements they care about while in-game.


🎯 Feature Overview

  • Add filters in the pause menu achievements view:

    • Locked vs Unlocked

    • RetroAchievements-specific categories like Progression, Win Condition, and Missable (already shown via icons).

  • Optionally add a sort by status function, showing locked achievements at the top.

  • Provide quick toggles so users can focus only on the most relevant achievements mid-play.


🛠 Example Use Case

  • A player pauses a game and only wants to check which achievements are left to unlock. They apply the Locked filter and instantly see their remaining goals.

  • Another player wants to avoid missing achievements while progressing. They pause and filter to Missable achievements only.


📦 Benefits

  • Streamlines achievement tracking during gameplay.

  • Reduces scrolling through long lists of achievements.

  • Makes RetroAchievements criteria more actionable, preventing missed unlocks.

  • Improves the utility of pause menus by surfacing the most relevant information at the right time.
