Hi Ron,
the new Monty engine does support 4 skill levels from easy to insane
which should allow players plenty of room to beat there records. Plus
the four bonus levels will help in that as well.
Of course, since it is classic arcade many things are not random which
is easy to code, but does lack for something new.
Although, I am thinking of changing some items like snakes. In the
original and in James version the snakes just laid there and you jumped
over them. Why not make the snakes be able to chase, attack, etc.
That way you might have to jump, sprint, etc to get away from them.
