Nice. I still don't understand what the cook is though.

Moved to graveyard:
Oh yeah, that's the known trick.

I'll fix it in a week or so and reupload unless someone else has made a working version. (Some busy things to do in the next few days)

Small cook.

I just noticed that there's a small design flaw. You can push one set of blocks to the top right or top left even when the first disc spot is full.

I'm not sure how serious that is. Should I delete this before too many people see it and make a fix when I have more time?

Two-block sets would cause problems, because when you turn around, the colors will change order. This causes problems at least in this implementation.

That's why I made all of the patterns symmetric.

Well done--I tried my hand at this last night but fell asleep before I could make the mechanisms for rounding corners work. Mine were more complicated, anyway, using teleports. I really like the slider gate in the middle in particular.

Did you find it necessary to use three-block sets in order to make the mechanisms work? It does show how the level can scale better, but to do five (or nine) platters you can get away with two-block sets.

'Tower of Hanoi Expanded' uploaded by Doom:
My implementation of the Hanoi Tower with five disks.

There was one main problem in constructing this level. Keeping the blocks together at all times. I found this solution partly by experimenting, and it looks like it works pretty well.

I think that the arrow block in the middle should be enough to prevent trivial solutions, and I'm hoping that nobody will manage to prove me wrong.

Thanks to Eric119 and Tom 7 for inspiration and ideas for the design of this level.
