Contributions summary:Edward primarily focused on improving the user interface and functionality of the pygame-menu library. Their contributions included fixing typos, refactoring code for better organization and reusability (e.g., the `configure_widget` method and refactoring the `check_key_pressed_valid` method into a utils module), and implementing new selection effects such as the left arrow. They also updated the example scripts to avoid deprecated warnings and included grammar fixes in the comments/docstrings.
