The cool part about grinding through all the non-fun parts of learning to make games is when something like this used to take me more than a day to figure out. Now, 20 mins.
Before: "I want to show the save file name....um....hmmmm..... (googles for 2 hours) ok, I think I know how to show a filename, but how do I show it without the extension? .... (googles and tests for another hour)..... "
Now: I'm all "Let's see, I want each save game to contain all this information, I'll just grab it from an index file I'll create in the save file structure...I want it to highlight when you mouse over, but I also want it to stay highlighted so you know what you're loading/deleting....and I want the logos. tap-tap-tap-tap DONE!"
