Developments

A simple and easy titlescreen has now been added to the levels.
At the moment it simply says World XXXX Y Z, but in future I'll have it showing stats and icons and things, too.
I'll try, of course, not to make it too cluttered, but it does at least need an icon for the level style, alongside a your current number of remaining lives.


Anyhoo, a lot of yesterday was spent reorganising the level loader, so that Android devices don't do that annoying Stuttery thing. The level loader acts as a Stutter Barrier, and things appear to be much smoother once the level's actually got going.
It also uses this padded time to load new instruments and prepare the music engine, too.
All in all, Loaders are handy for hiding slow stuff!!

Meanwhile, the music engine's had a few more tweaks, and I've been trying my hardest to pick selections of instruments that don't horrifically clash! There's now a little rule in the loader where I can define clashes and it'll (hopefully!) avoid them.
Seems to be working just fine!

It's all coming together nicely, which is roughly when cracks start appearing, and the whole endeavour falls to pieces.

Today, Super Mario Maker should be arriving, so expect the next few day's updates to be something along the lines of "I played Mario Maker all day!"
FACT : Super Mario Maker is the first console game I've bought this year. I only realised this when I considered that the last game I bought was Smash Bros Wii-U.. Yikes!!
