<Milton> Tom - The only things that seem to be wrong are (1) I cannot download new levels until some amount of time after they've been uploaded. It's weird - sometimes it will be a few hours, sometimes a couple of days. I check the site for comments and I always glance at the most recent levels list to see if I should download any. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. And (2), sometimes escape acts a little weird when I delete levels . . . for example, I can upload comments for deleted "Holey Transporter (v2)" and for the as yet undownloaded v4 (using my "my levels" list), but not for the deleted v3. Weird. It's not that big of a deal because I can always get the new levels eventually and work around the comments issue, but since you asked . . . =) |

<Max> John, you totally cooked this level! Damn, nicely done, but I don't know how I missed that. Glad you enjoyed it but you may like this level even more the real way so I'll upload a fix. |

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 138 moves (old: 999999).
More pointless speedrunning (testing something) |

<John Lewis> After seeing Brian's solution to the previous version of this level, I've decided to make it even tighter... |

<John Lewis> (SPOILER) This is one of the few levels that gets a style rating of 10 from me...
I really love this level. The concept is interesting and the entire thing manages to be fairly challenging. I am wondering if I cooked it, though...I never used the far right green panel (with the "1" next to it). Or was this intended? :-) |

<Doom> (SPOILER) It seems that I found finally the correct solution :) It was a lot more unobvious in the earlier versions but the cooks had to be fixed somehow... |

<Tom 7> It didn't show up? You should be able to upgrade and update on any platform now, so if not, then let me know because there must be a bug. |

<Milton> v3 hasn't shown up on my triage list yet, or I'd have left this comment there and then deleted it. I'll delete it as soon as the game allows me to download it there.
Max - thanks for uploading your solution.
Tom - sorry for once again needing so many versions, and thank you very very much for giving us admin access to our own levels - I would hate to have to pester you for every single mistake I make - especially when I make so many =). |

<Milton> This one should fix all the cooks I've seen so far . . . |

<Max> (SPOILER) Cook: You can totally cook this by pushing three of the gold blocks from the "e" in a row to the right, and then pushing the third one up to block the laser, thereby only having to move the left dalek! |

<Max> (SPOILER) Added solution "Max's Cook":
Not using the bottom left quarter of the level in a new way...
<Max> (SPOILER) Cook: Sorry, Milton -- forgot to upload it. Yes, it works on this one, too. |

<Milton> v3 should fix Dorothy's cook - was yours the same, Max? You didn't upload your solution, so I couldn't fix it specifically.
<Dorothy> (SPOILER) Added solution "Untitled":
Another solution. |

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) It's good that they follow a pattern, but I agree with Max that it would be better if that pattern were simpler.
On the other hand, I didn't find it necessary to look at the alternate layer to solve this one. (Though it took me 700 moves..)
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) *hits self on head*
Now why didn't I think of *that*? :-) Actually, the reason why I skipped columns of wires was because I originally planned for the level to be 18X10 and for only three columns of wires to be used. Then I decided to add the other three, so I built more panels on the other side of the wire matrix. I'll upload a new version...
<Max> (SPOILER) This is a cool concept but its execution is a little problematic. It's a bit of a pain to solve even when you know which tiles you want turned over (anybody solving this without knowing that "y" shows you bizarro world will certainly have an extremely hard time). Why not just have the panels on the left half of the level refer to the left half of the wire matrix and the right half refer to the right instead of confusingly skipping wires? Neat idea though. |

<John Lewis> And for those who don't know what "E" is...you'll probably learn in Calculus. :-) |

<John Lewis> This is one of those levels that's not really all that great...but I must admit - it was fun making it. :-) |

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) That's because you don't have the new version of the game yet (wait about 2 minutes). The bug was a very rare combination of pushing, panels, and traps, as seen when you push the broken bot out of the cage at the right. Since you push him over a trap, the trap should fall, but it doesn't because it gets swapped into bizarro land before the game checks if there was a trap there. Since panel swaps are supposed to happen at the very end of the motion, this was wrong.
This (and noname's bug ask) were the only levels that used it--at least in the original solutions. |
