This is about what happens, except that (1) the original contents of that
window have been removed 
(the alternative being to disable everything before adding the new stuff)
and (2) it is moved 200x200 pixels to make it somewhat better accessible.
And, yes, it is briefly out of sight.
It should be easy to tweak it your way - go ahead, I would say.

That button already exists: it is the New Game button.
