Tutorial 18: Heart Framers

Tue 26 Apr 2005 00:35

<Tom 7> Huh, I'm surprised it wasn't fairly obvious, but maybe that is just my Lolo background. ;) I wanted to do it in one level, but the problem with things that affect exits is that you only get one chance to do something before the level is exitable! I'm interested in thoughts from others...
<Max> Wow, cool tiles. This tutorial is a good early challenge with them, but it doesn't really do a good job explaining quickly what they do. Maybe this should be preceded by a part 1 where there are only sleeping exits and hearts and no other variables...

Self-destruct Panels

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 71 moves (old: 77).

Safety Glass

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 151 moves (old: 179).
This is an optimization of Max's mild cook. In the original solution I didn't push the red block into the gap from the top, which makes you have to jump through slightly more hoops.

<mjn> Whoops, forgot to mention: Tom, would you please delete this old version?

Square Peg (v2)

<Max> I think this is my favorite version of this one...

CP Violation

Mon 25 Apr 2005 17:05

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) iain's speedrun is a cook, because it doesn't activate all the panels on the bottom left. but it's pretty close to the "right" solution.

Handmade 037

<Tom 7> Well, it would suggest at least that people haven't been sued for it, which is good. I should be able to at least safely have them up on the website, if not as part of the GPL'd Escape.

Unlike trademarks, copyright protection doesn't expire merely from lack of enforcement, even for 25 years. 25 years is also way too short for the copyright to expire on its own--that's something like 100 years, now. (This is assuming that sokoban levels can be copyrighted, which I believe they can.)

I wish the world were such that I didn't have to be a hardass about copyright stuff, but alas, it is. Anyway, part of the point of Escape is to create a game that everyone can play (and copy) without worrying about this kind of thing, so let's do it by making new levels. Thanks!

Escape from Tetris

<littlekenny> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 106 moves (old: 112).
I built this from Max's solution.

Handmade 037

<nushae> Well... the existence of numerous shareare and freeware games that include the original levels would suggest so, wouldn't it?

Besides, any company still owning the rights to these levels and trying to excercise them, will have to explain why they haven't done so for well over 25 years now. Under such circumstances it becomes "pretty hard" (that's a legal term, ahem) to make a case...

But as I said, I won't upload anything not by me ;)
