<Max> 'The Dalek Question' uploaded by Max.

<OCTweak> Very good!! Congratulations Joshua! I recommend it!

<Max> (SPOILER) Cook: This level is very pretty and has a cool theme, but it's either loose to the point of being trivial, or just sloppy such that it is easily cookable. I suspect that it's the latter, and if this is the case, if you cleaned it up a bit this would probably be a pretty cool level...

<Max> This is a very good letter series level.

And then there were Three...

Might as well condense it a little if I'm gonna have the speed record!
<Max> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 1359 moves (old: 1449).
Wow, this is a great level! I love the ending. It's true that the hidden information of the panels is a slight weakness, but this is a very strong level nonetheless. Nice work!

<Zoogie> (SPOILER) Three days and far too many hours wasted, I finally got it. You really do have a knack for turning a group of smaller problems into one big problem, bravo :)

<Tom 7> Ah, finished the series.

It seems that these levels were actually from a 1996 sokoban collection by Yoshi Murase, who published a paper (in Japanese) about how they were generated. I think I can imagine some algorithms for such small level sizes.

I think I've got to add a notice in the game that people should only be uploading their original work. Although these levels (and others taken off the web like IQ Carrier and that MacSokoban one) are from sources that don't seem to mind sharing their work, I can't safely distribute these levels with Escape under a license like the GPL. What I'll probably do is move them to a different collection that's only available from the website and not included with the game.

Anyway, if you upload work that's not your own, at least post a comment so I know.

<Tom 7> I also found this one particularly hard.

<Joshua Bone> (SPOILER) You're quite right about everything except for this level's impossibility.

<Max> (SPOILER) Whoa... The first two puzzles in this one are very easy and the last one seems provably impossible!

To access the two grey steel in the bottom right so as to push them into the electricity and get rid of them, you have to activate three panels, each corresponding to a space on one of the three main vertical columns of electricity. None of the green panels (except maybe for one in the lower square that seems only accessible by the red steel) activate one of these spaces (except for one adjacent to another electricity making the path impassible). I must be missing some crucial detail!

<Tom 7> This was a particularly hard one.

<mjn> Wow, this is some crazy shit. I'd love to see the program that did this.

Man, it was only a month ago that I thought I was getting close to beating all the levels, but as soon as I thought that, the new-level rate blazed past my solving rate...

<Max> (SPOILER) It had better be, cause it doesn't have much else going for it! (Aside from the fact that it's not too hard to imagine Michael Stipe setting this title to music...)
