Simple: each cell requires 8 output pulses and 2 display pulses = 2.5 bots per cell = 6 cells max |
| |
Maybe I don't understand, but can't you make that with a bot and a button? |
| |
New idea:
Stuck Button
Simple, emits a pulse each step(after all bots move).
Would help to finish the structure for a working life cell. |

i think 0xCAFEBABE reminds me of a Juliana Hatfield song. And I mean that in a good way (in case you're not a Juliana fan). |

I THINK IT IS A WORK OF ART, AND YOU SHOULD TAKE A PHOTO OF IT AND FRAME THEM AND SELL THEM. IT LOOKS LIKE A FLOWER FROM OUTER SPACE. BEAUTIFUL. SCH |

Okay, impressions grab-bag time. The attributes I think I get are the Black Rock and Cow Cud is a Twin. I got a real Lincoln-era TMBG vibe from Text me where's the Rite Aid at, maybe because of the whimsical-sounding delivery masking what seems to be earnestly sad content. The way many of the songs segue together is lovely, making this album sound more albumy than others. I definitely think songs with both drums and singing have way more gravitas, so I was happy to hear some of those. So yeah! Definitely your best album since sk7 or die!!!
Man, fully half of the 2009 music releases in my iTunes are bands where you are in the band or you are the band. Not sure if that means you are awesome, or I need to explore new music, or both! |

Mosquito Romance and Why Won't It Melt in head all day!! |
| |
Great! Yeah, that one is stuck in my head today. I won't try to explain what fault you should find with it. |
| |
Also I love Mosquito Romance. Whatever you thought was jarring doesn't bother me. |
| |
This is fun stuff. The two you mentioned are great. I'll Be Acquitted is easy to love, with the stupid jokes. I also like Why Won't it Melt a lot. One has to wonder what is he trying to mail, and why doesn't he mind melting it.
I think your electronic music would make great hard levels of the Bit.Trip games. |

oh wow "text me" is great. |

That guitar is quite rude, I like it. Plus, these songs reminded me that 1) my eponymous hurricane is like top 5 in all possible death-and-destruction measuring categories (ha) and 2) I watched ~80% of possible Terminator movie-time in the last month. Excellent.
Also, you should continue your AAD streak with a SR&SR recording day - surely there are like a bajillion unrecorded songs at this point. |
| |
Good stuff--and yay for Pixies and Pavement references! |
| |
PS. I know I need to update the AAD page; my apologies to all of the contributors whose wares have been unnoted (having an album of my own to post usually gets me off my ass). But, um, the real point is the act of creation! |

Sleeping bombs can be pushed around without exploding! |

The intrinsic limits are very high (usually 2^32) for most things. But like level size I like to enforce limits because it is my opinion that more constraints usually lead to better puzzles. (I did change my mind and increase the total number of bots a few years ago, maybe at the same time I added bombs?) Here though the main issue is just that the code gets pretty complicated. Really it's more because of my choice to make sleepingness and bomb-timer value indicated with new bots than to have some kind of orthogonal properties for bots, which would have been smarter. Anyway, it would be totally doable, I don't know why I'm complaining about it... |
| |
How much design space is there for sleeping bombs on numbers other than 0? Certainly I'd imagine there would be some levels that put them to some use, just as I can imagine level concepts involving bombs that start ticking at 99. I doubt that justifies the extra space for them.
The most apparent use of sleeping bombs is to have the heart act as a C4 detonator that sets them all off immediately, and even just that one version of the element would go a long way. |

What would that be... they wake up when the last heart is taken (and start counting down)? And wouldn't start burning from being pushed, right. Not a bad idea but the way bombs are implemented I'd need a lot of new sleeping bots (one for each timer value). Also the "sleeping" doesn't make much sense for bombs, but that's not really a good reason.
I put it in the list but like so many things, don't hold your breath. :) |

Sleeping bombs.
Just an idea. |

You will find it is more generous with its character limit. |
