Additional Start Screen Option for Seeded Start

Open btaylor84 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Right now, starting the game with a seed requires holding the CTRL key and then clicking the Start Game menu option. When you hold CTRL, the Start Game changes to "Start Game(custom)" and if selected, leads to a dialogue to enter the chosen seed. Although this has been traditional for Brogue, it's pretty hidden functionality, basically only discoverable by reading documentation.

For the iPad version, a seed icon was added, but really, this is pretty obscure too. It could at least have a label "Seed" or something.

Why don't we just have a new start menu item "Start Game with Seed" in addition to "Start Game" ? It would need a different key assigned to trigger that entry, perhaps "G", which can be highlighted. Or to make it more consistent: "(G)ame Start with Seed" ?

I'd like a new, clearer button or something as part of #489, so this would also help towards that
