Enhancement: Randomize Challenge

[sigma144]

I've made some progress on trying to randomize the Challenge, but there are still issues to be ironed out. Mainly the fact that when the game tries to randomize the panels using the mod's dynamically allocated arrays, it often crashes. Hopefully I'll have this fixed in the next release.

That sounds wonderful! Can't wait for the update.

I mean, you can just remove the "randomize on power on" attribute from the panels. Then you should be able to do whatever you want.

Thanks. I don't see that in the list from Randomizer.h, do you know the offset? If not, I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to find.

Thanks, that helps a lot!
