yes, pac-tom sighting! around 4:45, along fifth ave near the cathedral, maybe? on your way -- and ours -- towards downtown.

Ah, thank you. Fixed.

Ok great. One minor issue, the button is "pushed" not "pressed"

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath for good Unicode support in emacs, but I was mildly sad that I had to settle for some conservative "weird" glyphs that are likely to be in your fonts. Patches absolutely welcome.

Sweet. This is a very important mode. Once Unicode 5.2 is released, and once Unicode is working correctly in Emacs, you'll be able to represent the hieroglyphics more accurately.

My simulated Dharma Intiative breaks from coq hacking have been very satisfying.

I almost wish it did destroy all my buffers - then I'd be afraid to fool around.

Or maybe I'd just play emacs tetris instead of reading blogs.

im glad i found this page..that picture looks like what popped up in my bathroom today (except mine had stems) they werent there this morning....

i plucked it up and flushed it, and poured bleach in the space (between the floor and tub)

after reading here, i also poured salt along the edge of the bathtub beginning in the corner where the mushrooms grew.
im going to tear the tile out. its old anyway, and needs replacing. hopefully the mold problem isnt too bad.

thanks for posting. :)

I might not do all the stars, but I'm definitely not finished yet... I didn't even "beat" it! I'm becoming much less of a completeist (at least wrt video games) in my old age...

Nice

P.S. Super Mario Galaxy was great up to the last 7 stars, so I sold it without finishing.

Thanks stauf! I'm glad you did say!

Great music! I came across your music when I was listening to a last.fm tag radio for "chiptune". Needless to say, Theme from Volleyball stood out so I had to track down more. Keep it up!

ok, try to find it, it is really hard because are so many, and they are not systemized(another problem), I believe it is one of kakper levels with bots, when the bot is close to dalek. Who knows, maybe you are right, but if it happened once it will aways happen in any circumstances bots are involved.

Unless there's a very serious bug, this should never happen. If you can find a repeatable situation where it occurs, please send a level and whatever information I'd need to reproduce it. I will fix this ASAP if it's really happening, but I think it's more likely that you're misunderstanding what's going on (which is totally understandable, since it's pretty complicated when there are bots involved). Once you make a move, you don't get an opportunity to move until all the bots have moved. If you press the button again, what actually happens is that it does not show the animation of the bots moving, but they still move, and then the next move is executed. Sometimes doing something like pushing against a bot can cause another bot to push him out of the way that might make it look like you "beat him" to the spot, but it's probably just the fact that you're skipping the animation by moving quickly that makes it look different.

look, I've noticed this using undo command; it happens on small levels with non destructive bots. If I move quick I can take a cell, if i wait for the bot to make a move, bot takes that cell, same move from me, different moves from bot.

Bots will always do the same thing in the same situation. But some situations might look the same (like if two differently-numbered bots have swapped position); maybe that's what you're seeing? Try pressing 'u' to undo and then repeating the same move.

depending on how fast I am, bots make different moves (at the same move)

True spoiler comments are rare. Speedruns are marked as spoilers because some levels can be spoiled by knowing how many moves it can be solved in.

If you want hints, you could leaving a comment on the level asking!

I love this game! It is the best thing since the original Chips Challenge and I am completely addicted even though I am apparently a challenged user and seem only to be able to solve the easy puzzles.

I don't see where in the "spoilers" there are spoilers. I see no solutions, just comments and 'speedruns' (whatever they are) that seem to be people's postings of their best times.

Are there any actual spoilers or solutions because I have already found two levels that I absolutely know how to solve but cannot seem to solve. Any?

Just be careful if u have cats... The mushrooms can be dangerous to them, but i have 4 cats and have had no bad experiences

And if u have mushrooms growing in your house, it DOES NOT mean you are a slob. And they are not dangerous at all. LOVE YOUR FUNGI!!!

Dude, that comment about mushrooms that cause athsma and stuff, i dont beleive it one bit. In my old house, i had mushrooms growing out of the carpet and all,
i used to lie on my stomach and look at them, with my face two inches away from them. I am the healthiest one in my family, for crying out loud! its just some germaphobe being a germaphobe. nothing to worry about.
