Ball Dispenser

Tue 05 Jun 2007 20:54

<Milton> (SPOILER) Thanks. As I said, the main point was just the dispenser.

To be honest, by the time I had the mechanism down, I had lost some interest in further implementation. I basically just randomly added a bunch of colored switches, rough, and the yellow stuff (what's it called again?) and made sure it was solveable. I actually made a mistake with the one extra remote that appears - I had intended for it to actually do something, but I must have forgotten. But by the time I had finished solving it in 4000+ moves, I didn't feel like doing it over.

I agree that this level would be better with more care given to the lower portion and without the extra switches (sorry about that - I don't know what I was thinking). Maybe I'll redo it in a few days, but anyone else who wants to mess with it should feel free in the meantime.

FYI, the ordering of the bots is important, as I'm sure you can see when you think about it . . .

<Swivel Maste> Thanks Tom7 :) I like levels that aren't insanely hard but are just clever in a way that makes you go "oh, of course!" when you figure it out... instead of going "oh it's THAT stupid combination!" and slapping your forehead. I also like the idea of putting all the options right in front of the player from the outset and then letting the player figure out what order to go in.

<mm> (SPOILER) The creation and idea of a dispenser is great! Concerning the level itself I agree with wowei.
<wowei> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 3931 moves (old: 4214).
nice "suspenser"-mechanism, but a little loose. i also missed a little logic in deciding, what is a red herring and what is not.

Still room for some improvement I think.

Um, yeah, what's the point of this level exactly? (Initial run, didn't try to optimize.)

<Tom 7> That is meant to be a compliment, of course. =)
<Tom 7> noname, you have patience beyond my understanding.

Trigger Happy

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) SM: The easiest way is to download the speedruns. (When playing your level, click bookmarks and then download solutions. After you select one, rewind to the beginning and press play...) In this case the problem is that you don't disable the button at the very left, so it can be used to trigger the last remote as soon as it appears.
<Swivel Maste> How can I find out how you guys are cooking my levels? :( I want to fix them!
