Hi Holger,

This is a good idea to have a random level selector (intead of
sequential) but if the user just enter a random level without more
information it does not help much. Taking the geography as an example,
it would be nice in a random level changer to see the title of the maps.
In balance box it should show a level preview (which should be renderer
from internal data without box2d).

On the user interface side I don't like the idea to pop a virtual
keyboard for that. If we have a preview then a level change could show
it in a small area on top of the level button. Then after a second
without level change the level is started.

What do you think?

Bruno.
