Not RC, but daedalus moved his level to the graveyard. Sorry. Time to get some sleep...

Sorry, false alarm, I've found the level, it's still there, somehow it reappeard.

I did upload a mod of John's level - and his original level just disappeard from my triage folder... I guess I had done something wrong... I didn't edit and upload it from my escape-editing-copy-folder, but from my original escape-game-playing-folder. Ugh. John, I did not want to loose your level, but it has gone!

Ok, I guess I'll be able to handle it - but still, cooking speedruns will cook the level, with or without indicating the cool manually.

It's just a pity that RC moved his level to the graveyard after I had cooked it! 'cause the level was really nice!

Well, before you assume you've cooked it, you should download the original solution from the solution manager (ctrl-m, ctrl-d) and compare!

I'll be able to post a new OSX version immediately once SF.net gets its act together...

And: only AFTER rating we can see the original solution. I did not know that I had been cooking some levels before uploading the speedrun... And I think once I've solved a level, I should rate it right away, and not wait and wait until others would do the first ratings. Even if my first rating could and would not be appropriate at all.
 
4227. Kirima/mm (123.124.79.83.cust.bluewin.ch) – 12 Mar 2006 19:46:12 UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
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
 
4225. Kirima/mm (123.124.79.83.cust.bluewin.ch) – 12 Mar 2006 19:27:11 UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
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.

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. ;)
