You can use spotlight to open apps quickly on the mac: Hit apple-spacebar and type in the first couple of letters of the app name. Down arrow to select it from the top of the list and hit Enter. Glorious Enter.
There are also a bunch of custom programs for assigning shortcut keys to applications and commands, but I don't use any of them. I do wish the same shortcut key combos I learned for Photoshop and Fireworks worked on the mac, but there's no easy way to, say, Apple-F to open the file menu. (Fn-Cntrl-F2 then right-arrow twice (or "F") does it, but how awkward is that?)
Oh, but my favorite part of my Mac is that I can have ten-ish apps open at once without any performance problems. I just apple-tab between them. |

I tried playing Syberia a few years ago, but about halfway through the game I just couldn't force myself to watch that woman's walk cycle anymore. |

[ BAD SAT SCORES ]
umm.. i know that 1500 is the average score.. but really good universities like harvard and yale are looking for 2100 and 2200.. and for the guy who wants to get into yale with a low GPA and high SAT they wont accept you because that shows that you are smart but lazy.. so unless you work hard and get a good GPA you wont get accepted:(

[ BAD SAT SCORES ]
I hate the SATs!!! Anyway for the people who kept on saying New SATs, did u guys get that score OVERALL (all three sections)...because if you're just talking out of 1600, they aren't so bad...
I suck at standardized tests no matter how much I study. I got a 2010 overall on my SAT. I got a 590 on Math IC (SAT II) ironically since I'm in AP Calc with an A average (again stupid test taker here) and 600 Spanish (I was Spanish Student of the Year for two years and got a 4.0 average in SUPA)...
It's just that sometimes the standardized tests scores don't match ur true ability as seen my most posts here.
My avg is a 3.9 something (my school doesn't rank) but I'm in the top 10% of my class.
I'm looking into schools like NYU and Cornell (this might be a stretch). Can anyone honestly tell me what my chances are with these types on scores and stuff.

Good question. The project was almost successful, but like so many class projects we ran out of time and didn't get to do all the things we wished to. I think Jason and I will probably take another couple stabs at it, because after we fix a bug we discovered late in the evening the rest of the stuff will be pretty fun optimization kinds of things. And if we can make it work, then I think people might actually use it... |

So how did that LP project turn out? |

I still kinda see it too, but it's nowhere near as prominent as when I first did it. |

You're almost done, you just need to destroy that block with a bomb. There's one right nearby... |

Then again, maybe with my poor grammar I should keep silent.
Anyway, they should take a vote--math belongs to the people not to the ivory tower....how many elephants did you kill to build that tower, anyway? |

Sadly, this confirms youtube monism--1668 comments fighting over whether verizon or the caller have the right opinion. |

Also, some levels are really really hard even if they look simple (there's a lot I've spent hours on and haven't been able to solve yet). So, start with easy ones... those are the ones with narrow red blocks on the right. The more red, the harder it is. |

There aren't any cheats that allow you to bypass solving the levels, but there are a few things that can help you with hidden information:
the 'y' key shows the alternate layer (what's "behind" the tiles you see)
the 'd' key shows the destination of panels and teleporters and remotes
the 'n' key shows the order of bots
Also don't forget to make liberal use of undo and the bookmarks system!!
You can also read escape.txt for descriptions of the various tiles and bots. That might help a bit. Or, ask here for spoilers on specific levels! |

I downloaded your game and its really fun, it reminds me of a game on my moms old computer called Chips Challange... but I am having a hard time with some of the levels... I cant seem to beat them, I was wondering if you have any cheats? lol the ones that have those bounce ball things, the red, blue, green and gray ones> idk how they work!
thanks! |
