Mortem suggestions
« on: March 29, 2011, 17:55 »

If the player exits a level within five seconds of entering it, add a line to their history: "He hurried through level X." Mostly to poke fun at the players who homing phase through scary caves or the last few levels. :)

If the player has advanced in rank during a given run, that character's mortem file should reflect the advance. It's kind of lame to pull off a bunch of kills or get enough new medals and then not be able to show the rank off until you've started a new character. Heck, I'd even go as far as to say that rank advancement should be specifically noted in that mortem as a landmark ... something like "He advanced in rank from X to Y!" just above the 'he played for blah blah time' line.

Custom mortem files. By which I mean, a few config options that allow you select which parts of the mortem you do or don't wish to see. I don't feel this is actually necessary at the moment, but the upshot would be that you could then add options to display more arbitrary statistics for curious players. (Like ... a table showing how many of each enemy were killed in each level, or the total number of keypresses made in the process of the game.)

The first one was just implemented :).

The second one is kind of tricky, but I'll keep it in mind.

For the last one, I'll probably allow the player to influence mortem generation as he wishes, with a lua-generated custom section. That'll allow all the customization one will need.
