<KWM> (SPOILER) Nice. I like the way that your timer can cycle and start over. When mine is done it would only be possible to cycle the last digit. <mjn> '84' uploaded by mjn: I went and finished my attempt anyway, since I was pretty close to done. Pros: no setup time, possibly requires a little less space (I think). Cons: more robots needed, 6 is ugly (I couldn't find a 4-robot scheme that didn't disfigure at least one digit). |

<KWM> Right. I think it might even be possible to get 4 digit numbers with this method and that limit is based on the number of different metal sliders available. But that would require a massive board, plus a lot of "set-up time". I think a similar method could be used to make more digits scroll across, like: 0001, 0012, 0123, etc. <mjn> (SPOILER) Hey, you beat me to it! Your method is better than mine, I think. I was gonna have separate robot tracks for each digit, and four robots per digit. But instead of larger spaces and more robots, this one only requires larger spaces, right? <KWM> Darn it :) I'll just leave it as-is this time. <Alois> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 91 moves (old: 107). Two steps saved :) |

<KWM> Moved to graveyard: This one allows a solution that is much looser than I wanted. D'oh! <Tom 7> Great! I wasn't sure that was possible, but this seems to be a pretty scalable solution... <Tom 7> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 89 moves (old: 105). <Tom 7> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 105 moves (old: 111). <KWM> 'Tick Tock! Bonus Style Points' uploaded by KWM: I couldn't resist the multi-digit challenge. With a large enough board I think this method would allow a count down from 99. Of course credit goes to bje for the original. |

<Doom> (SPOILER) ...Or another version. mjn's solution is just too easy. <Doom> (SPOILER) oops, heh... Yeah, I just noticed that the few panels in the end are useless because I could just go to the exit in the original version too. Good job with the break-less solution, Brian. I had no idea that would be possible. One thing, that I had in mind at first was to block the exit with 2 holes instead. I couldn't do it while testing, but it's propably possible after all. This level has propably potential for a mod. <mjn> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 117 moves (old: 188). ...a little faster <mjn> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 188 moves (old: 248). Cook: only used three hearts <bpotetz> (SPOILER) Added solution "Unbreakable": A solution without using any breakable blocks. <Doom> 'Four Corners' uploaded by Doom: Quite tricky playing with a hugbot |
