<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Oops...I meant "So far, I haven't found any alternate solutions yet." :-) (ambiguous indefinite pronoun reference mistake...)
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) That's good...I was really worried someone would find a clever alternate solution to this one. Originally, I didn't even have a trap one space below and to the left of the left-most switch. Also, instead of two-way traps, there were gray blocks to fill up the holes (which didn't quite fit in with the color scheme :-)). Therefore, it was possible to push the two green blocks on the bottom left corner, go all the way around to the top and around to the middle bottom area, and finish with one trap left over. (The intended solution uses every single trap.) So...I added in the extra trap on the left side (which made the level even more confusing and caused me to wonder if there was another solution lurking out there). So far, I haven't found any yet. Thanks, Doom!

<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Yeah, I noticed the "cook" when I did the 78-move speedrun...I wonder if I should do something about it.

<Doom> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 59 moves (old: 60).
And a massive optimization to the end.
<Doom> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 60 moves (old: 70).
More optimizing.

Cook: You can use the bot to replace one block.

<Doom> (SPOILER) Now that I look at it more closely, the level seems to be more rigid than I thought at first. No. I don't think that there are other solutions anymore.
<Doom> My solution was exactly as long as the original. I have no idea if there are different solutions but in a level like this, it's surely a possibility.

This level was kind of pointless to begin with...

<John Lewis> So far, I've found only one way to solve this level. If anyone manages to come up with a different solution, please upload it!
 
My Friend Sat 02 Jul 2005 20:13
<John Lewis> Hopefully a better use of the block puzzle from "Drawing the Line." :-)

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 109 moves (old: 114).
Cook: Also, you can beat it by just blocking the lasers. (There goes my cleverly optimized speed record..)
<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 114 moves (old: 130).
Well, it's kinda fun to speed run, but this level is too easy to solve with 'undo' around and I think even the "real" solution is too transparent, since the title just tells you. Perhaps it would be better if it was less clear which panels were useful and which were useless?

Indeed they can.

Testing to see if uploaded levels can now come with messages.

<bpotetz> (SPOILER) > A 18th panel could be added two squares above the 17th.

Yeah, true. I didn't want to add any more cheat-panels than already existed, though. Anyway, this was a fun original concept, Doom.
<bpotetz> Phew! Thanks, noname - good job. That certainly is not the hardest level ever, but I'm claiming the title for longest unsolved level, at 98 days. Who dare challenge me?

I guess maybe I should submit some new levels, now that mine are all finished. Maybe over vacation I will.
