I'll design the frontend for the Football Manager Game based on the project overview and requirements you've provided. We'll focus on creating a sleek, modern UI that works well for both web and mobile platforms. Let's start with the Dashboard/Home Screen, which will serve as the central hub for the game.
I apologize for the oversight. Let's fix the navigation issue and create basic pages for the other sections so that all menu items are clickable and functional.
Let's start by updating the main navigation component to use Next.js routing properly, and then we'll create basic pages for each section.
These changes should resolve the navigation issues and make all menu items clickable and functional. Here's a summary of what we've done:
- Updated the
MainNavigationcomponent to use Next.js routing and highlight the active page. - Created basic pages for Tactics, Transfers, Matches, Finance, and Multiplayer sections.
- Added the
MainNavigationcomponent to all pages, including the main dashboard and the Squad page.
Each page now has a basic structure with placeholder content, which you can expand upon to add more detailed functionality. The navigation menu should now appear on all pages and correctly highlight the active page.
Is there any specific section you'd like to focus on next, or any additional features you'd like to add to these pages?
