[SUG] Multiple player profiles

[Blitz]

Suggestion: I understand icho a bit but I also have a
start or at least one option and that is that you can have multiple profiles that are all saved in the game files but you can create a profile for example get what you want to be called etc
BUT i know it may sound stupid! 
the game will save this profile as a separate file like it does with lix like the trophies file but here's the catch it creates a whole new copy so it copies all the folders that are assigned to the user and it creates a profile folder which means we have for example Blitz and you can find the profile in the users folder and when you go into the profile you see replays,settings,level completions etc and then we have new profile 1 for example and it's been recreated which means we have a new profile. b and he was newly created that means he has nothing there are folders like settings etc in it but when you open the game it gives you an option either you play Blitz or profile 1 or as GUEST and what would also be good as security maybe if you can make passwords optional but possible.
it would bring more order and it would be more tidy.
I hope it would be possible BUT it's just an IDEA okay?

Multiple profiles could be do-able...

copies all the folders that are assigned to the user

Can you be more specific about what you mean here? Do you mean copy all the folders in the directory (levels, replays, etc) or do you mean create separate settings (userdata, settings, hotkeys) files for each player?

I'm guessing you mean the latter. That may be fairly easy to achieve and I can see the benefits if multiple players use the same system (families, for example), or if a single player wants multiple player profiles to track different records.

The simplest way I can think of to achieve this would be to append the "userdata" title with the player name (so, "userdata_blitz" for example) and create a separate one for each player. A "select player profile" dropdown in the Config menu would likely be suitable for quick profile-switching, showing the names from each file. Then, wherever the userdata file gets read from/written to, check which profile is active.

Then, do the same for the other settings (settings.ini, hotkeys.ini)...

Decent idea. Anyone else in support of this?

I don't see any harm in it existing.

One slight suggested change to your "how" though - instead of having multiple "userdata_XXXXX" folders, have subfolders of "userdata" for each user.

Yeah that's what I meant...
