Progress #7

As I get closer to completeing the game I found another sidetrack!

I've decided to use an ".INI" file so users can track their progress.

A defeat of each enemy, finding all the hidden characters, witnessing or triggering certain special events and completeing each chapter will count towards a percentage amount displayed at the end of each game.

This would also save the chapter progress (so no password system will be needed).

I think it will give people who finish the regular game incentive to keep playing to find all the percentage points.

I may even use this to unlock an inbuilt information gallery/database.

But first back to programming the villain's special abilities (or handicap in the case of Starscream).
