[ New! Escape 200704130 ]
Gary: Typically ideas cannot be copyrighted (only patented). I don't think there are any patented escape ideas. Uploading a level to the escape server indicates permission for others to distribute and modify your levels (it says this in the upload dialog box). This is intentional because the Escape level editing culture encourages people to make modifications of other player's levels (and because the game is distributed under an open source license and I want the levels to be able to come with it). It doesn't encourage reusing ideas without improving on them, or without credit. There's no official rule book though. If you want to rate these levels low on style because you think they're repeats and/or not properly credited, I think that would be well justified. |

This is pretty awesome, I like how the reverb makes the drums all boomy. When is the hit album coming out? I am getting pretty impatient. |

Tom 7, see levels 2148 and 2150. I think miles had just stolen ideas from Aprial and John Lewis. Is it possible to take ideas from someone without asking permission? |

Build a time capsule. Make a box and put the day's paper, some currency, some photos and other memorabelia of the time. Use Weldon 16 (GOOD stuff!!) to fuse the pieces together.
Have your kids write a letter to the future and bury it somewhere and wait 5000 years.
That's what I did. (I'm still waiting)

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I have this problem too, and I keep seeing "USE BLEACH" in these postings - DON'T USE BLEACH, bleach will clean the surface but it won't kill the spores, and that's why they grow back after you bleach them. VINEGAR will actually kill the spores, and I think hydrogen peroxide will work too, but vinegar is the best bet for a home remedy. If you have these things growing, then you probably have a big mold problem because the mushrooms don't show up until the mold has gotten pretty bad.
These CAN cause health problems if you breath in the spores. When the mushroom grows, the mold is at a stage where it wants to spread, and the purpose of the mushroom is to spread spores.
DOUSE IT WITH VINEGAR BEFORE YOU CLEAN IT UP OR DIG IT OUT - IF YOU DO IT DRY, THE SPORES WILL FLY INTO THE AIR.
THEN CLEAN IT REAL GOOD WITH SOME KIND OF CLEANER, NOT AMMONIA OR BLEACH MIXTURES THOUGH, JUST REGULAR MR CLEAN OR SOMETHING.
AFTER CLEANING - SPRAY VINEGAR WITH MAYBE 1/3 WATER DILLUTED, AND LET IT DRY/EVAPORATE. AND PROBABLY REPEAT THAT A COUPLE TIMES.
SPRAYING THE VINEGAR SOLUTION AROUND THE SHROOM AREA CAN HELP KEEP IT FROM SPREADING TOO BECAUSE VINEGAR IS A 'MOLD GROWTH INHIBITOR'. BLEACH CAN'T DO THAT.
OK, this is a temporary solution, I'd have the professionals come in if you have the money for it, because eventually your house could become unlivable.
P.S. - TRY NOT TO BREATH IT IN WHILE YOU CLEAN IT UP - YOU GOTTA COVER YOUR MOUTH WITH SOMETHING, AND IF YOU HAVE YOUNG KIDS GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF THERE - THEY COULD DIE FROM THE SPORES..
I'm no expert, just experienced this - pay an expert if you can, this can be dangerous - don't panic, but don't disregard the threat - GOOD LUCK.
DON'T USE BLEACH! |

Some ideas for new tiles if there are any plans to add them:
-"Paint buckets". The way these are concepted is subject to change, but I would depict them as colored footprints on the ground. They would function like ROUGH, but if the player walks over them, the _player_ would become red, green, blue, or uncolored for the purposes of colored panels (the paintbucket square itself should turn to either rough or floor, depending on which you think makes more sense; and how to represent player color is up for consideration but outline and shoe coloring are two main possibilities).
-Diagonal lasers. Graphically and functionally, this should be obvious, apart from a specific mechanical interaction. In a 2x2 grid numbered as follows:
1 2
3 4
with a DLASER on 4, and any sort of obstructions on 2 and 3, should the laser be able to "see" 1? I would say yes just for simplicity.
-If there's no pressing spacial limits on the tileset, a set of 36 tiles as UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT but for the alphanumeric characters would make it easier for levels to have self-contained instructions. |

very observant. Point Breeze is close to my house and not on the way to anything (because of various parks and geography) so it is the only neighborhood I haven't yet made a serious coverage effort in. Therefore it has no cleanup-todo list. It will probably be the last one I finish, aside from my home 'hood of Shadyside, which I am deliberately saving. |
| |
The map is confusing: Point Breeze doesn't seem to have any pink segments in it, yet it's not darkened. This might just be because of the scale.

Actually I was the first post.
If I'm in town I'll go to the E6 show, but I might be going to CT this weekend. Back in the day Music Tapes was one of my favorites. I'm happy to say that I checked all those bands off my list in college, especially since Jeff Mangum has become reclusive. But they are sure a good show. |

Man, the extent to which I compulsively check the RSS reader widget thing on my google homepage has turned me into that creepy guy who always posts first on other people's blogs. But! I have things to say, so the creepiness continues
thing 1) that video and song are really excellent, cool stuff, thanks for posting it
thing 2) I am reminded by your post of music-things to ask if you are going to this:
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/145168-elephant-6-crew-to-embark-on-holiday-surprise-tour
and if not wtf? I am super jealous, there is no show here. There are pictures of the new york show somewhere, apparently Jeff Mangum showed and played with OTC and elf power |

Yep, I love this. Here is reason to celebrate the web in all its glory. I have a fantastic space name, and... I've had a blast reading all the comments. |

Yeah, the city does define the borders. You can see some maps here:
http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/cp/maps/shadyside.html |
| |
A question: Where did you get the data on what the exact boundaries for the various neighborhoods are? I suppose since you were able to make the map these must be set in stone somewhere, but I never really considered it - are they official municipal entities? |

A fine fine film for many occasions. |
