<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 269 moves (old: 294).
Very fun level.

<Tom 7> The first two parts are kind of loose/cookable, but a good first level. (The bot/slider puzzle is creative!)
<Doom> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 361 moves (old: 389).
Cooked slightly the second part.
<mjn> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 389 moves (old: 559).
I think I cooked the second part (I only used three blocks).

Nice level, though, especially part 3.
 
When Push Comes to Love (v4) Thu 25 Aug 2005 03:07
<mjn> (SPOILER) This is a cool level.

(BTW, I did this without shoving, but that's not supposed to be impossible, right?)
 
Skills Training: sphere pushing (200) Thu 25 Aug 2005 02:08
<Adam> (SPOILER) I have proven using A* that 200 moves is the length of an optimal solution. Unfortunately, I have not been able to figure out why the solution works.
<mjn> (SPOILER) Added solution "Alternate":
Huh, apparently there's more than one way to do this! My solution is different, although still exactly 200 moves. (although I'm sure this will cease to be surprising once I figure out the theory behind this...)

<John Lewis> I love this level! Neat concept, btw. I'm attempting to make a level that uses a similar behavior with transponders...

Only 80 levels left to solve!!! :-D
 
No Shoving Wed 24 Aug 2005 12:35
<Doom> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 65 moves (old: 96).
Ignored the bot in the bottom right corner.
 
When Push Comes to Love (v3) Wed 24 Aug 2005 12:26
<Doom> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 52 moves (old: 58).
Ignored the bot in the top left corner

<Doom> (SPOILER) Well, this level isn't really 'based on' the transponder trick. Did people really not know about it yet? There's at least Brandon's Escapealooza (or something) that includes this trick. (although it's not important part of that level) I don't think, that's where I got it, though.

<Jeek> (SPOILER) Cook: Didn't use the teleporter at all :)

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) You beat me to it.. I had been working on a level based around this one-way transponder behavior.

Nice level!
<mjn> (SPOILER) Hey, that's a neat trick with the transponder.
<bpotetz> Extremely cool idea. Nice design.

<noname> > do you have a computer program that generates all these routes?

No. I just played the level several times, gradually improving my routes. The solution replay feature is also helpful, since I can just watch the replay and realize what I missed. And it also helps that the game is untimed, since I can just pause at anytime and recall what needs to be done next.
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Oh man!! noname, I often wonder, do you have a computer program that generates all these routes? :-)

<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 179 moves (old: 215).
Nice!! I love this level!! :-)
 
The Chamber (v2) Tue 23 Aug 2005 22:14
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 177 moves (old: 200).
Wow! I actually beat one of noname's records?!
 
Gradually, A Shot Rang Out Tue 23 Aug 2005 22:13
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 100 moves (old: 171).
Interesting concept!

<Max> (SPOILER) Cook: Didn't use the upper right part of the level at all.
 
Skills Training: sphere pushing (200) Mon 22 Aug 2005 19:23
<Max> Yesss, I have sphere-pushing skills!
 
my new level Mon 22 Aug 2005 09:37
<Tom 7> OK, I deleted it, but Brandon can upload again if he changes the author to be accurate (or just non-impersonating!)

As for moving all of his levels into sophomoric/, I do think they are generally on par with those. But I don't want to be cruel to eager new players, because that can be discouraging...

Still, it seems, Brandon, that people would appreciate more care taken with your levels.
<mjn> Hey, I *thought* this seemed a little too easy for noname. Man, impersonation ain't cool.
(Accident, maybe? Perhaps he opened up one of noname's levels to see where the panels went and then just went on to make this without remembering to change the author...)
<Dorothy> Why all the hate for Brandon? So he doesn't make a level to your taste, let's not be immature about it.
