No no, it doesnt hang, and I think it behaves cleanly and good, when I'm not online. It just annoys a bit, when I accidantily hit the button, and then - I'm so easily seduced to cheat on the speedruns. ;) |

wowei: Is the issue that you accidentally hit it? And then that it hangs because you don't have an internet connection? Because there's never any harm in downloading solutions (you can just delete them) and it shouldn't take that long... |
| |
the new bookmark-manager is a nice add-on and I like the optimization-option. but can you please add a dialogue there, when you hit "download solutions", that says "do you really wanna ..." instead of trying to download immediately. perhaps such a dialogue could also be suppressed with a new preferences-setting.
by the way, Tom, your machine ran out of diskspace again :-/ |

Yeah, I think turning up the sensitivity helps (you can do it in small increments as you adjust to it). Getting a good sensitive mouse will help even more. |

[ Quake 3 Done! ]
I've been playing Quake 3 ever since it was released.
However, I am still not able to finsih Nightmare mode.
The question I have is...what kind of mouse sensitivity level are you guys using?....I use a low sensitivity....Even though I think that has a balance of both moving fast and aiming, I am wondering if using Higher sensitivity practice is better?
Let me know
Its amazing Quake 3 is still so popular...
Enjoy! |

LizPf: Thanks! Rigidity isn't taken into account at all for the minor leagues filter. That's because, as you say, levels that aren't rigid or are rigid can still be good. (The same is true for difficulty, actually..)
For 2, I'm definitely working on that. It'll be good!
I've been thinking about ways for developers to include hints, but I do also like the idea of levels having no words in them at all, so, I'm not sure...
And, please do spread the word if you like the game! Thanks! =) |

I'm fairly new here ... I've made a couple of puzzles so far -- maybe one of them will be able to stay in Triage :-)
A couple of things:
1. It looks like puzzles that get low ratings don't make the cut. But on the Rigidity scale, a puzzle can be good anywhere on the scale. And different people find different things lame ... I really, really don't like puzzles with unpredictable laser death, so I give those a 0.
2. I've read here about sub-grouping the Triage list ... please do! My preference would be for a group of good beginner puzzles, plus groups by type: Logic only -- no guessing required, lasers, robots, bombs, etc.
3. If possible, it would be nice for puzzle creators to include a hint with their puzzle, that players could choose to see -- or not. This would help us beginners who are lost, but not spoil the game for experts who don't want help.
Tom, thanks for making Escape, and continuing to support it. May I give you some publicity by mentioning Escape on some lists I belong to? |

Eric: Huh. Well, my only guess was the color depth, but I can try it out on my win98 laptop. Is anyone else seeing this on any platform? Does it seem like it's struggling or just paced slowly? |

Anon: Yes, but only after you've solved the level. When you do, you can go to the solution manager (press ctrl-m from the load screen) then download the solutions from the server (ctrl-d) and watch them. Usually there are only two: the original solution uploaded with the level, and the best speed record. But sometimes people will upload other interesting solutions.
Also, I am about to release a new version that will make it a bit easier to do this, by using the bookmarks menu. |

The stuff about voter intimidation is quite interesting. As you may know, CMU's own Michael Shamos is the guy who certifies voting machines for the state of PA. Spring semester he gave a talk about voting machines with paper trails, and mentioned exactly this. This gist of the talk was that none of the electionic voting machines currently on the market (that created paper trails) were constitutional wrt the PA state constitution.
At this point in time, these concerns seem like somewhat of an anachronism, but perhaps that is only because of the laws we currently have in place... |

Eric: Can you tell me a little more about your system? What color depth is the desktop set to? I did upgrade the version of SDL with this (which is probably what is causing the issue) but didn't really touch anything with animation. |

ok thanks a ton, I wondered what that part was for.
