In the previous version the camera and background didn't quite match between drums and strings. It looks much better now. Also the octopus wasn't showing up for guitar. That is also fixed
In other news, I was playing drums a while ago and I played a song I had already FCd, and I FCd it once again. Then I FCd another song I had already FC, so I thought - it would be nice to track how many times a song gets FCd. So that's new. There is no visual representation for this, it is only getting recorded, but there will be in the future.
But it won't be as straight forward as just counting how many FCs there are. Because FCs in other than Expert are counted, I couldn't just add to the FC count because you could potentially FC a song in Expert, then FC the same song on Easy several times and that would appear like you FCd the song in Expert that many times. So the way it works is that the FC count goes up if you remain in the same difficulty (say you got 3 FCs in Medium), but if you get and FC in a higher difficulty like Hard, the count resets to 1 (so then it would show 1 FC only in Hard).
The only issue remaining is because the database starts the count at zero, if you FC a song for the second time, you will only have 1 FC counted. That's just the cost of moving forward. :(
I was gonna write some code to check if an FC was achieved prior and reflect this on the score, but I decided to keep it simple.
