<Mazur> (SPOILER) Ah, so "cook" in this context means something like "shortcut". That's ok, in the design I was thinking of those puzzles of 5x5 letter-square slides with one hole, and you had to slide all the letters in place to form a slogan. But in Escape, you can't place a panel and another object in the same place initially, so I had to think of a way to move the balls in, and I provided the top-right panel to enable a fully closed puzzle. The idea was not possible anyway, unless I had made a 25 long feeding column, and even then one can freely place balls when not fully filled yet. And steels won;t work because yo can't shift half a steel column. |

<gary> Excellent level, John Lewis! <Gil Anthony> ok,I did it! |
|
|
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) The cook involves bypassing the panel in the top right corner - you don't have to worry about holding down the panels that activate the yellow block or the corridor it slides down. <Mazur> Tom 7: Eh? I do not understand what you're saying. |

<mm> (SPOILER) Added solution "Martina's Solution": OMG, now you called me like that as well... ;-) <John Lewis> (SPOILER) Thanks for the compliment, Your Highness! :) I would love to see the alternate solution. It's funny, but while I was originally designing it, I was just hoping for it to be solvable...and then once it got to the final room, it turned out to be more "revenge"-ish than I expected. ;) Glad to know there's another way to solve it, though! <mm> (SPOILER) Hi John, excellent level! It reminded me very much on pieguy's revenge levels... ;-) My solution is slightly different than the original and I didn't touch one of the green blocks. Do you want me to upload it? <Gil Anthony> yea I almost licked it but fell just a bit short,will try your 2nd level tommorow. |
 |
<gary> That was a great level! |
 |
<Gil Anthony> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 235 moves (old: 240). Yea, simple as far as esacpe levels go.235 moves is the shortest solution I've found so far. Gil Anthony |

|
<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Cook: The yellow block and the creation of its corridor aren't necessary. |
 |
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 650 moves (old: 656). Six moves down, two to go |
 |
<Gil Anthony> I'd like to see if you can impress the inventor of Escape Tom VII.Each level is getting a bit harder for me to complete and I like the little mental workout it takes...Make'em harder! GIL ANTHONY |
 |
<Gil Anthony> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 262 moves (old: 263). One false move less than the other guy <Mazur> I know, however, there's also a difference between an Escape level and something that can be totally bypassed. The intent of any level should be to pose a challenge, and when yuo find your challenges completely bypassed, the level is flawed. Mine still is, I knew that, but I'm learning... <radiant> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 263 moves (old: 430). You know, there is such a thing as "straining too hard to force the player's hand". |
|
|
<radiant> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 215 moves (old: 219). Closer still... |
 |
<gary> (SPOILER) Cook: Blocked the lasers using wires and all spheres remained unused. <radiant> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 218 moves (old: 222). How did that part stay in? <Gil Anthony> yea, thats more like an escape level! |
 |
<Mazur> As it is, I don't see how it can be solved. If only the teleport would put me just above instead of in the hugbot, I'd be home free. Mazur. |
