Bug: Animation Hesitation Wed 20 Jul 2005 10:18
<Tom 7> OK, it was really easy to fix.
<Tom 7> Weird. Well, I haven't given much thought to the player turning (I had intended to animate him), so it doesn't surprise me that there are inconsistencies. I'll take a quick look at it, but if it's a complex problem it will have to wait until there are animations for pushing gold blocks and/or turning.

<shamu.b> (SPOILER) Cook: you can use the yellow blocks in the middle to position the blue balls, so you don't need to move the blue steel blocks in the upper left.

<Tom 7> Yes, I wish I could solve this one so that I could give it a great rating.
<John Lewis> This whole level has me baffled! Definitely one of the most stylish ones out there though...

R.I.P.
<Max> 'Bug: Animation Hesitation' uploaded by Max:
This bug seems to be a cousin of the other animation hiccup I pointed out. When pushing a gold block into certain combinations of panels referring to certain places, sometimes the escapist will stay still and turn *after* bizarro world flips over, and sometimes the escapist will turn right away. In this case, hesitations occur next to arrow tiles, while non-hesitations (in comparable situations) occur next to stop signs.

<mjn> Forgot to mention: I love the timing mechanism. I think it's funny that the robot has this big open space in which he can seemingly move freely, yet he's still completely under control...
<mjn> Aww, I kind of liked this one. Oh, well--one less hard level on the unsolved list, I guess.

Something that might make this a little less frustrating would be some kind of earlier feedback. Like, right now you it's hard to know if you're "on schedule" until you're pretty close to move #450 (or whichever it is). It'd be cool if you could know how good your progress was around moves #150 and #300, too. Then you could solve the level a segment at a time, rather than trying to optimize your whole solution at once.

For example, if there was a particular square that you had to walk on before #150, but you didn't need to afterwards, that square could get turned into a stop sign or something at #150. (Of course, having not solved this, I don't know if there are any such useful squares in this layout.)
<Tom 7> Are you uploading a new version, or deleting it in shame? I actually think this is a pretty good level, especially considering that there is apparently some slack..

<John Lewis> Wow! Someone solved it...I thought this would beat DT17 as the longest unsolved level! Brian, was it you? :-)

This concept wasn't that great to begin with, I guess...

Huh? A speed record?
<Max> At least it was cute! I was hoping for a bit more action, though ;).

This was a silly exercise, indeed.

<mjn> This is a great level. (I finally solved it now, after like 4 months...)
