<Dave> (SPOILER) Oh dear (to put politely)! I've just seen the speedrun on 2.2. We have a problem: 2.2 doesn't force the bit I want to force, 2.1a doesn't force the bit you want to force. 2.2 has to go but first I need to decide whether to just fix it or mod 2.1a. Ideally, it should force both bits, but I don't see a way yet.

By popular demand. Or in other words, as suggested by Mark.

<Dave> (SPOILER) It happens Mark, I did exactly the same thing with LOT16.1, which is why it currently shows 3/3 solved instead of, correctly, 2/2. I'm quite surprised it is so low but these 'Grab the Dalek'-esque levls do seem to cause a bit a trouble.

So, as you requested, I have modded Rook's Tour to 9x9, maximal being, as you know now that you are in the Doughnut Club, 472 (or 474 steps in the implementation. Upload coming shortly. I have not been able to find any solution online, so this one will have to be solved properly. To be fair, it's actually not that hard if you approach it right. This is a good thing because any attempt at a brute force solution would take until next Easter! Also put blue back to red, I think it is safe this time.

Not looked at Improv since your comments, will be in touch ...
<mark> I've rated my own level by accident(Improv 2.1a)so I reset the score to 5 5 5 I will average it out after it is solved.
I was scoring the one below which i had not scored straight away as i could not decide.
I got very lucky on it and did not know to put.

<mark> (SPOILER) Dave when i got up this morning i awoke to a few levels and improv 2.2.
Last night i had already made a better version of 2.1 but left it as i've deleted enough levels lately.
When i saw your 2.2 and it was similar looking to what i'd already made i deleted hoping it was not a spoiler for yours.
Spent about an hour trying to mod your level then i found a flaw (check speedrun) easy fix i guess.
Anyhow i've reposted 2.1 with the different ending version 2.1a.
Sorry all for messing about but i do like this level,and i can still see harder things to come.

I wanted to make a non-trivial 1-by-something level, but unfortunately this is one of the few types that pose any challenge whatsoever. apologies in advance in case you find it annoying.

<mark> (SPOILER) I thought improv was too good to give up on so i've had another go.
I see that you have been very busy with your own level Dave so i've tried again.
Your new level is to me even though solved is very hard to see how it works.Iv'e not rated yet as i knew how to do it but 9 or 10 for style and effort.
Discovered another flaw in escape,and that is if someone delete's a level your bookmarks get lost.
I had a short go on rooks before i went out and managed 327,just needed fine adjusting.
I was desperate to see Jim's lucky find but i was a little bit merry and my brain won't work after a couple of beers,so i had to wait till today and start all over again.
My solution not like yours at all but there are probably many.

Anyhow after talking to you last time i managed to get all 15 books on pdf for free.

Without you saying what the level was about in title i might not have twigged.
As for what is next could you strech it to a 9 x 9 i don't know how that is done or if there are any answers available.
All in all another great level but as easy as knoting doughnuts together.
Cheers have fun.
