okay, I've ran into a problem
There seems to be a bug in the engine itself :<
If we were to use the proper loading flag we could manipulate it
which wouldn't be what we want
which means I'm probably forced to just refer to the loading screens again :c
In case someone's interested into a more technical explanation: You can actually already spam your action button which you use to enter a level during the map animation. Instead of checking if you're still in the animation before setting the loading flag, the engine sets the loading flag first, then checks if you're allowed to enter the level yet and then changes it back to false.
Which means we could spam our action key during the loading animation like a madman which would result in the engine flagging us as in a loading state
Now what I could do is just pause the timer during the loading/discovering animations aswell but that's not really the ideal way because you're technically able to do inputs during that time
which means it shouldn't be counted as a pause
Speaking of... I could also just ignore the loading flag during the map animations 😮
That would be a way in which it would work
freaking KAL engine

Anthony is now 10th on the leaderboard 😱
I remember it was hard at the beginning to beat him ^^
Something seems wrong with my game all of a sudden :/
