No, not a breakup. Weirder than that. Nonetheless, I appreciate the concerns and well-wishes.
I dunno if I can claim to be in tip-top shape, but it is a personal best, at least. Still, I'm happy to inspire anybody to do any positive thing!! |

It sounds like you had a breakup recently. ::hugs::, if you do that kind of thing.
I think I know what you mean, although you successfully confused me, which was probably your intent. You vent your anger and once you've done so, it all feels kind of silly.
And good luck in the marathon. I am definitely not to be there, but I do want to start jogging every day again, to be in tip-top shape, as you are. You are an inspiration to me. |

Iamanidiot: ejg, yes I did solve tutorial 21. There are LOTS of levels I have not solved and a couple that are making me want to turn in my IQ at the desk.......
Thank you, ejg, for asking! |

[ New! Escape 200704130 ]
I've been catching up on triage after a long Escape hiatus (only 154 levels left!) and suddenly thought of an idea last night. Would it be feasible to create a "scoreboard" of sorts where competitive Escape players can see how many levels they've completed in triage, how many speedruns they currently hold, etc.? The level completion numbers would most likely have to come from a manual submission within the game, and if it's possible, the speedrun numbers would be pulled from the data on the site. I know Chip's Challenge has a scoreboard which is manually maintained by a scorekeeper - and while CC is different in that rankings on the scoreboardare determined by the number of points one has in the game (in other words, how fast one completes the levels), rankings on an "Escape scoreboard" can be determined by how many levels each player has solved (seeing as how no one has beaten every level yet, and many of us have varying amounts of levels left to complete).
At any rate, it would be neat if we could all see how we're progressing in the game...at least we wouldn't need to take up space discussing it like we did on pieguy's "revenge 2" page! |

I didn't know you had a computer called pokemon! |
| |
Ah. I must have made a mistake and included some stuff that I shouldn't have in that distribution. Thanks for letting me know! |

"Shred documents! Grate cheese! Create hair cuts that are sure to get you noticed! Add fringes to paper, or the bottom of your shirt!" |

I was playing from the binary Linux distribution. I've since downloaded the source and compiled it, so I could take a look at some of the workings.
But the levels I listed above I got when running the binary distribution and selecting the download from internet. After that, I selected Load a level and noticed the mylevels directory with the aforementioned levels. So that directory is either in your binary distribution, or in the server. |
| |
Oh, no. Are you playing from CVS or source, I guess? Lots of the levels in my mylevels directory are just ideas (and please don't spoil 'em, because some of those I intend to turn into real levels). I'm only talking about the levels that are uploaded to the server and available in collections. All of those have solutions. |
| |
Ah. Thank you for the explanation.
Re:1.
"Animation test" is solvable?
"Atari ST"?
"b=g xor b, g=g & b, b=g | b, g = ~g"?
I've looked at those in the editor and they don't even have an exit.
"Get off my back" and "Panel World" I can't see how they _can_ be done, but I'll take your word for that for now.
All these are frmo your "mylevels" directory. |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I've had the mushrooms that look like pasta / pig skin for a couple of weeks now and they grow at such an alarming rate! Ripping up the floor tonight to see what's happening underneath. We know there's a leak as I saw some water this morning coming out from underneath the lino tiles...it's making me feel sick! We're going to use a dehumidifier to try and dry the room out but does anyone know what sort of tradesman we would need to get to come and completely kill them before we lay new floor? Looks like we might have to move in with the in laws while we kill them as it's our only bathroom.

I too found a mushroom growing in my bathroom, next to the toilet bowl. I feel disgusted and can't sleep over it. My bf ask me to google and see if anyone is facing the same problem. Am so glad to see this forum. At least i'm not alone. And we been having a leaking toilet for weeks and waiting for the landlord to send a plumber to fix it. Already inform the landlord, so can't do much till the plumber comes. |

Sorry Mazur. I was without internet for a week at home and could only post from my phone, which is slow.
1. Every level outside of the Quarantine collection is solvable. The solutions are stored on the server and I can re-verify them whenever I change something about the game. The only reason levels end up in Quarantine is that they're uploaded with a working solution, but then I fix a bug and the level no longer is necessarily solvable. (But, sometimes they are still solvable for some other reason.) Don't give up!
2. Right, this is a result of the Escape laws of physics: That you can only die or win on the end of your turn. So, if you start on an exit or in the path of a laser, that doesn't matter. The effect went through a period of whimsical popularity but I think people are pretty much over that now.
3. I dunno. Max was first to upload such a level as a joke, and then there were some follow-on jokes. Various people enjoy this game in different ways, which is okay with me, and also the reason for the minor leagues collection. You're right that I want the levels to be vetted and organized by the players, and not by some automatic process or iron-fist editorial oversight, but this hasn't really been realized yet. |

Good luck and god speed! On bullet #5, you can tell how nice the Mt. Carmel neighborhood is because its signs relay this information without using words. |

Since noone seems to feel inclined to answer any or all of my questions, I shall answer a couple of them myself.
1. Yes, there are "levels", that cannot be solved, mainly for testing purposes for Tom 7 and installed by him bypassing the test regular users' levels get (to wit: that they have solved that level the normal way).
2. The levels, where you come in in line of a laser beam: One _can_ play those, just make the first step out of the beam.
3. All those two square levels, where the player simply has to move one step to "solve" it: new players of the game like to find out how things like designing a level and uploading it work, and that particular simple level is apparently all they could come up with. Since there is no way to tell in advance whether a level is worth it or not, they are all passed along, so they can be judged by the players at large. There is no censorship or weeding process, beyond certain restrictions on the titles. |

Tom: You should try out ROBLOX because it is somewhat like Escape.
Everybody: The link is WWW.roblox.com
I haven't played it in a while so it might be: WWW.roblox.org |
| |
I don't know. But I'll try soon only because I got straight A's whole year though for every subject. But I don't know how. That's the problem. |

I found four escalator tile images but no matching elements in the editor. There are also enough blank tiles for 30 elements.
What about a second bizarro world? Just ask which bizarro world to swap with. |
