With the code maps, we could bring back the chronom missions. Just make a standard of using the "today" date as a code with a preset date format...

Maybe MM/DD/YYYY  or YYYYMMDD (for sorting dates)

But I do not believe there will be highscores for codemaps (or will there be?)
Don't make a slog just because. Be like Master Mapmaker SPIFFEN:

(...)Difficulty is subjective. (...)
SPIFFEN chooses to rate each map as trivial because they believe that the difficulty of the map depends on the capability of the player.
BAD RATING: MEASUREMENT OF MAP HARDNESS.

There is already a "today" button for code maps, in the format of "June 14, 2011", along with a random phrase button. :)

as for highscores, im not too sure, but it could be possible.

that would be a LONG list. The only way I can see it being possible is if you had little wheely things like they did for chronom on the scoreboard, but for every letter... and however many letters are possible.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. The smart left a long time ago.
Check out the amazing A Tragedy Forgotten CW2 map series!

It's just a normal text input line, like the browser's address line that you can enter whatever you want into and get info about the map+preview ;)

If the maps were put into categories (easy, medium, hard)(or something like that), then I'm sure it would be easier than having a bazillion named maps with 1 score on it :) (assuming of course the "like type" maps are all pretty much the same game play idea, so one cant complain how a person only got 5 minutes when they got 15 because its harder or something like that). There could be 10 levels of difficulty, or what not.. Anyways, just my two cents worth...

oddly, that's pretty much what virgil did
We have become the creeper...

I guess also adding the name of the "code" or map name to that list might get other people picking same map to try and do as well or better? :)

Yeah, did not dissecate the code missions screeenshot. But how do you know the date format it writes?

Sssh! I'm just messing with him since he seems to think he needs it "RIGHT NOW!" and that the map editor is "as good as its gonna get." As he has expressed in the chat.
