Yeah, probably could've, but I was thinking more along the lines of the Main Menu, and how I've kept it all small and simple. It's a case of "Pick a mode, Pick a difficulty, Just Play", as opposed to "Here's a long list of levels, pick one if you can be bothered to, then repeat that one over and over again, unless you then want to spend another 20 mins making a map list in an order that'll appear."
I didn't want to do that, and I still don't want to.
Simplest way was "Here's a bunch of levels made by people at GBATemp"

In addition, I got to slap "GBATemp" all over the game.
Normally I don't like putting other site's names on my games, but in this case.
...
Well, lets just say that I really hate how certain sites view GBATemp.

"Euw. Pirates are there! They have idiots! Euuuuw! Nooo! Don't mention that site.. You're not ALLOWED to mention that site..."


By slapping GBATemp on the titlescreen, on the menu, and even on the Boxart, I've managed to get GBATemp vaguely mentioned by a whole big bunch of homebrew sites.
And I'm really really proud that I managed to sucker them into doing it, too!

Good old f'you to those site

Stage builder + Stage select, see above. I was going to quickplay.
 
No problem, I was just pointing it out in case it interested you. Hope I didnt seem to strong/harsh.
No hard feelings?
 
if you don't want a stage select, maybe you could have a level mode with just random custom stages that you made
 
Update's going to have to wait a wee while.
My Pc's having a total freakout, right now. Started about a week ago with CoolEdit (sound editor) going a bit quirky. Wasn't sure why, tried "turning it off and on again", and the Pc didn't turn on again.
munkynuts!

So, new HardDrive and a nice little HDD Dock thing, a gradual restart, reorganising files, using other systems, yada yada.. you guys know the drill!

The MainPC is kinda half dead. It can boot for a few hours before it goes wonky again. As I write, on my MacMini, my Pc's is NOT downloading my regular day's worth of TV, and I'm probably going to have to find a decent newsreader for the Mac.. ..Either that or miss Stargate tonight!!


Meanwhile, I'm still reorganising stuff, trying to rescue bits and pieces, and remember where I stuffed all those all-important files.
Update soon, once I'm all sorted.

(sorry!)
 
For those interested, my Dev Center is currently at about 85%. I'm starting to get to grips with having to manually back things up, and handle about 70-odd versions of different files, on a variety of hard drives and thumbdrives and smeg knows what else..
(I previously had the main PC sitting switched on all day, and it did all the backups, and handled everything. I'm very much at a loss without it!)

I'm getting a grip on my new chaos, and I'll be ready for DS stuff shortly.
Another week or two and I should be sorted.
 
PC's Dead dead dead dead dead, and probably no chance for a new one until WAY after Xmas.. (you know the deal. It's Xmas.. Time for spending cash on everyone else, and leave sod all for yourself!!)

I'll see what I can do over the next week or so. Time off should help. .. maybe.. ?!
 
i have an idea for a extra part in it, a practise level, (make it so you cant get loads of points, but you can go through each stage upon completion. With no enemys.

Or a Random mode, Where you have say three levels one after the other, and you have to get a higher score then the Computer (aka a preprogramed score) then if you play again you have to beat your own ?

i dunno i think i confused my self.
