Ok!

But: without knowing the original solution, how could we know if it's a cook or the intended way to solve the level... I know, this question is even more silly... I guess I've got it, I know what you've been trying to tell me.

I'm looking forward to "d" (-;

In my opinion a mod is almost always better. When I make a level I love to see it cooked in a clever way, and I love being forced to figure it out. I'd say to make a mod unless:
1. your mod gives away the solution to the original
2. the level or the mod is not really that good
3. you don't feel like it

Silly question: once I've cooked a level, is it "better" to comunicate the cook, or would you prefere a modification? The mod would not give the clues away, but the author could feel a little bad about it. How do you would want us to handle this?

No, I didn't finish--I gave up because the strings I had already tuned starting going out of tune again. It's hard! I'll give it another shot soon. Alas, no (real) piano on this album.

PS. I interpreted any posts in this thread as song title suggestions.

That doesn't make sense. Wouldn't just intonation be tuned by tuning all the intervals to being "perfect" in a certain key?

I'm reminded: Isn't the Whalers logo just excellent?

Since you are probably done by now, I hope you know that it is important to NOT tune each string to correspond with the exact pitch supposedly represented by its key. This is called "Just Intonation" and actually makes the piano sound really out of tune.

Nice piano!

Song titles:
mango zen baby (from Fran)
parsley & cheese
chemo sabe
lasagne noodles
sleep purr
sunny day
brio
vigor
mabel, maybe not
paucity
brain coral (or even brain corral!)
mango salsa
sate

I just prepped lasagne and am going to eat leftover indian food and I'm hungry, hence the food related titles. I hope this helps!

Well, official AAD rules disallow me from pondering ideas before the day. But tomorrow I'll be taking song title suggestions! (Maybe I will track down a couple more theme song competitions to enter. ;))

LOL, okok: That's actually San Pellegrino. Some "LASER" sure would have helped, though, man, piano tunin' is rough...

Hell, yes -- he's tuning a piano and he's got a 40-ounce of his favorite malt liquor opened to help him out. Rock on, brother.

Yes, he's totally going to write "Princess of Justice" so he can enter this contest. http://www.princessofjustice.com/index.cfm?type=contest

You are hot (and adorable). I hope it goes well -- are you going to write any special songs, like, "Pittsburgh won the Superbowl" or "Fire Santorum"?

Hehe. It just looks that way because I am slouching over and the wide-angle lens distorts stuff.

I tuned the Cs, Es, and Gs, but then they went out of tune again. We may be looking at another guitar/keyboard album...

You're right, I'm not really that sorry. ;)
 
4206. Tom 7 (gs82.sp.cs.cmu.edu) – 10 Mar 2006 15:32:47 UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
That's kind of what I have in mind--doing ad hoc filtering/sorting instead of trying to organize into directories. But the filters would be browsable like the directories are. This won't help much with the performance issue, though.

I think it'd be cool if sorting automatically created (or pretended to create) sub-directories. Like, you'd press Ctrl-D and there'd be directories for 0-1, 1-2, 2-3, etc.

BTW, I withdraw my suggestion from a long long time ago about making the sort stable. I downloaded the source and did it myself a while back, and it wasn't nearly as useful as I thought it'd be.

P.S. thanks for the D button!

It's no problem!

What is it about sorting that doesn't work well? I'm thinking about redesigning the level browser stuff (probably to base it on tags and filters rather than directories), so comments are welcome...

The DOS version works as it did in 1998 or so. It has bugs, and isn't compatible with the new version. There's pretty much no reason to play it, unless you want to chuckle at its primitive graphics and interface. ;)

Somehow I don't think you're really sorry... :)

Sorry to keep bothering you. Yes, I said it wrong. I meant to suggest that solved levels could be automatically put into the root directory upon game start or exit as a way to split up the levels. As far as other ways to split them. I like date, size and author.
Also does that old dos version still work?

I like to have two names for everything
