Disabling animation of calculating score for each second left

Got a cool idea that should be in R'n'D? Let's hear it!

Disabling animation of calculating score for each second left

Post by mat »

There's no point-reward system playing original Supaplex levels so counting the time to 16:39 after solving a level is not needed. Especially since the original game doesn't do anything with time.

It could be done this way: if an interface doesn't contain the level score, just skip counting.

There's something similar to what you're asking for in the R'n'D setup menu.

Code: Select all

R'n'D main menu > 'SETUP' > 'GAME & MENU' > 'COUNT SCORE AFTER GAME' > 'ON'/'OFF'
I suppose it could add a choice like:
'ONLY IF REMAINING TIME AFFECTS SCORE'(with doing this for all levels as default), or
'EVEN IF REMAINING TIME DOES NOT AFFECT SCORE'(with doing this just for the score effecting ones as default).
--- Strike a balance between generating new things/ideas, and being good/organized, somewhere between a gibberish mess and nothing said/done. ---
--- I've completed the built-in R'n'D levelsets, and lots of R'n'D downloaded levelsets; Finished enough? ---

Yep, you are right -- counting time in Supaplex levels is indeed a bit pointless.

I'll have a look at this again ... until then, BryanFRitt's solution will work fine.
