Better maps screen. #23

Basically, a better way to view what maps you've saved.

There are two main issues here:

  1. The color palette is currently the only indication of which map you will play.
  2. The actual navigation is horrendous. From the sorting by oldest, to being unable to backscroll to newest, to the inability to actually name the maps.

You basically play a memory game to get back to the map you love, and then you have to deal with #2 all over again if you were wrong.

I see a fix for the first thing by possibly just storing a screenshot of every map's beginning (maybe cropping cause the FOV and haze would get in the way of seeing it), or maybe having a replay of a top trail play as a video? I imagine you can retrace the trails with a camera placement.

The second is harder. A grid is good, but naming is already half the battle...(while still seeing the seed)

Thanks! I wish I knew how to do this kind of stuff to help, otherwise I would. All the best, thanks for making me cry a second time from Superflight. The first was a feeling, you made the second a realization that I can live the experience I was missing from the base game.
