Where's a Clone Machine When You Need One?

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Very nice, very illegal. :)
<John Lewis> I've been able to solve it - and I'm using the latest version of Escape on Mac OS X. (By the way, the player file recovery was successful - thanks, Tom!)
<gary> Tom, please move this level to quarrantine as this is impossible.

I saw the POPE in a mirror!

Wait, did I say I was done with effectively bringing new tiles into the game?

True, radiant, this is more fun! ;-)

And to finish off my little demonstration, at least for now, I think I'll put it to a bit of good.

Anyone who's solved Brokoban 1 can just Ctrl+0 into this as the levels play identically, it's just that now we don't have to use broken bots (and the limit of 15 that arises from using them).

I really ought to write a handler so that I can stop parsing ESX files mentally.

This was made to be a bit more of an actual challenge, so you can have some fun with the level before it heads off to quarantine.

<Tom 7> Oh, you scoundrel! :)

I did know this was possible but figured I was safe. You're right, the sanitizer should reject this level for violating the bots before bombs numbering rule. Thanks for pushing the envelope...

Okay, so #1 was a fairly tame demonstration, and if you accept the legitimacy of levels like that, it's obvious that the solution is supposed to work.

By contrast, the solution here is obviously _not_ supposed to work. Sure I know _why_ it works from a mechanical standpoint, but you can't tell me that this is the intended behavior. (Heck, it may be a good part of why the editor doesn't accept levels like these in the first place.)

<radiant> (SPOILER) I can't guarantee that the level sanitizing function will keep this solvable in future versions of Escape, not least because I'm not Tom and thus don't control the source code.

In any case, this is just a proof of concept that'll end up deleted soon, and...do we really have to go all the way back to "Modern Art Gallery" to find a level that was uploaded in a form that couldn't be made from within the editor?

Mucking around with binary files is fun!
