Game Dev Update 8

Medium At Work

I made a few small changes to the game the other day, and I cleaned up a lot of the code. I had been looking up some other systems that I wanted to include as well which I will outline below.

Saving and Loading

The game now has a basic save and load function that runs in the background without the need for player interaction. When a player completes a level the system will check if this level is the highest completed, open the new level and save the game.

When they load the game again it will read the save file before anything else, and the dynamic level select screen will open the right levels before the user even notices anything.

Level Select

The whole menu has an overhaul now, and shows the correct levels and numbers. I am still working on button sizes, but the test level is no longer listed.
