[SUG][PLAYER] Display the number of buttons in a level

[∫tan x dx]

As the title suggests, the number of buttons in a given level should be displayed. If a level does not feature any buttons, then this information is simply omitted.

I propose three places where this information would be located:

• Level select screen - In addition to lemming counts, skill counts and other requirements, an icon for buttons would also be present with the appropriate number next to it.
• Level preview screen - Similar to above, the extra button requirement would also be displayed.
• Ingame info bar - The small part of the UI dedicated to lemming counts and the timer could also be used to display a button count. I propose it would act as a kind of fraction that updates when a button is pressed, i.e. "0/3", "1/3", etc.

I'm open to this if there's enough interest. Added a poll.

I think this is a very good idea, but maybe the best way to display it would be above buttons in clear physics mode?

With 6 votes for, 1 neutral and 0 against, I'd say this is a clear "should happen". So yeah, let's start talking about the "how" - tying it into CPM sounds like a good idea, my gut feeling though is that it should be displayed near locked exits rather than near the buttons themself?

[Proxima]

That was my first thought, but then I remembered that exits can already have numbers on them, if they accept a limited number of lemmings.

+1 for this. Brilliant idea

Preview screen text would also be nice, but not essential if it's displayed in the info bar and/or CPM.
