Track which levels a secret exit opens and which exits the player has not found

Some levels have two ways out, and each leads to a different next level. The map must show only what the player earned, nudge them about the exit they missed, and the designer must be sure that no level is cut off for good. Here is how to keep track.

Why this works

On a map with several ways forward, what the player has done is the doors taken, not the places finished. Keeping exits as the record shows what is open, what was missed, and, by walking the whole map once, what nobody could ever reach.

When not to use it

Skip it for a plain line of levels with no secrets, where finishing a level opens the next. A simple counter does the job, and the extra record only gets in the way.
