<mjn> Pretty cool-looking. Do the blue panels correspond to actual lakes? |

<Eric119> Nice. I still don't understand what the cook is though.
<Doom> I just noticed that there's a small design flaw. You can push one set of blocks to the top right or top left even when the first disc spot is full.
I'm not sure how serious that is. Should I delete this before too many people see it and make a fix when I have more time?
<Doom> Two-block sets would cause problems, because when you turn around, the colors will change order. This causes problems at least in this implementation.
That's why I made all of the patterns symmetric.
<Tom 7> Well done--I tried my hand at this last night but fell asleep before I could make the mechanisms for rounding corners work. Mine were more complicated, anyway, using teleports. I really like the slider gate in the middle in particular.
Did you find it necessary to use three-block sets in order to make the mechanisms work? It does show how the level can scale better, but to do five (or nine) platters you can get away with two-block sets. |

<Eric119> Yeah, I thought about using multiple crates. But I haven't yet found a way to do this. If I do I'll probably make a version with 5 disks.
<Tom 7> A very slick embedding!
It might be possible to create more discs by using pairs of colored steel and ensuring that they're never separated. I dunno, though.. |

<Eric119> This level appears to be partly based on level 1 of LaserTank (named "Boot Camp"). |

<RC> My levels are usually pretty loose(not always on purpose). There is usually an easy and hard solution and one I catch later :-).
<mm> I was so glad that my speedrun did not cook version one! This level seems to be even cooler! (: I was hoping to find a original RC-mod very soon, thank you for doing it! (I don't have any idea how to solve it yet.) |

<John Lewis> Just curious, who gave this level a difficulty rating of 3?! |

<Doom> Isn't this one of the original Sokoban levels? 23, according to my sources. I don't think these clones are really 'that' cool. Especially when the levels contain nothing but block pushing. |

<mm> I think this level is opticully more confusing than the first one - once it's zoomed out and everything gets very small, it's really hard to clearly see what's going on, especially because teleports, arrows and normal "streets" are all grey. Whereas without zooming out, it's to hard to keep orientation.
<Doom> As a matter of fact, I find this version even more confusing than the first one. How am I supposed to see anything in this sea of teleports?
It's anyway interesting to see in how little space this can be squeezed. It was more tricky to implement without becoming enormous than I thought. |

<Tom 7> I appreciate the thought, but the cost of the hard drive is not really the issue; this machine doesn't have room for any more drives, and I don't really want to touch its fragile configuration. It's more just an issue of the machine being on its last legs, and just wanting it to survive without maintenance until I replace it when I finish grad school and move somewhere.
Anyway Escape isn't the thing that keeps filling up the disks, it's the damn log files for snoot.org! |

<John Lewis> I was wondering when we would see this. Nice implemention! I still haven't solved the original CC level yet...btw, David, it's the only possible one in your original "pi" level set I haven't completed, along with "too many keys" and "the most insane level ever!" |

<John Lewis> I'm hoooooome!
This is a pretty cool level, very reminiscent of classic Escape. I have to wonder...is this the fanaticiest of fanatics himself, Eric Schmidt of Chip's Challenge fame? ;) (The "Hoola" character sounds familiar...) |

<Payton> this level is retarded, after over 5,000 moves I still had not solved it. All you can do is move up or down and hope you make it towards the exit (which I never even saw.) |

<mjn> Oh, hey, and something that occurred to me last time: what would you say to us Escape-players chipping in for a new hard drive? I know I've gotten lots of value out of this quite generously free game, and I'd bet some of the other folks would also be happy to... |
