Well the important thing is that there's a bug and it broke both your and Stephan's files.. so that makes it a high priority for me!

3485. Kirima (242.153.203.62.cust.bluewin.ch) – 10 Dec 2005 21:19:08 [ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]

I have no idea what might have happend to Stephan?

And I've already told you all I know about what I've done?

3484. Kirima (242.153.203.62.cust.bluewin.ch) – 10 Dec 2005 21:16:13 [ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]

Don't worry, don't hurry! I'm not very organized, but it's not important and doesn't matter.

3483. Tom 7 (h-72-244-69-245.phlapafg.dynamic.covad.net) – 10 Dec 2005 21:11:37 [ Combo deal ]

Yeah, that place just keeps getting better and better. It seems like "super saver" shipping is free now, too.

Well, I see what's wrong with the file. It is the same problem that Stephan had when his player file got corrupted. I'll try to track down how this could happen, but any more info would be appreciated!

Holy one-piece PDF covers with spine and no LuLu watermark on the back!? Oh man that is totally sweet.

Well, no amount of disorganized playing should cause it to corrupt your player! So I had better fix it!

I'm going to take a look at the file you sent me now and see what's wrong with it, at least.

3479. Kirima (242.153.203.62.cust.bluewin.ch) – 10 Dec 2005 20:51:01 [ Combo deal ]

Really lovely pictures! :-)))

Now I understand why you though my candle-art-work would be some kind of spine

3478. Kirima (242.153.203.62.cust.bluewin.ch) – 10 Dec 2005 20:31:55 [ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]

I'm sorry, I don't know! I bet I'd rather start to prepare family christmas eve instead of playing escape and that's why this happens to me...

I guess I'm just too unorganized and this is why the system crashes! I jump around from level to level and suddenly I feel like editing a real challenging level - which does not work at all 'cause I'm just not clever enough to figure out an interesting level - so I get kind of frustrated and leave the editor and turn the game and computer off. And boom, the system crashes...

I bet this does not really help you to find out where the problem could be... All I know is that I might have been in "editor" before I turned off the computer. It feels as if it could be some kind of a "saving" problem? Grrrrr... I can't explain what I'd want to explain, I'm just not into computer language and all this stuff! And not into english as well.

BTW: It's just wonderful that even people like I am have a little chance to find a speedrun once in a while! :-) And to edit levels! :-)

Hardcore raver: Why not upload versions of the levels with new titles? I can delete the old ones.

It's not possible for one switch to change several things directly. When people do this, most of the time it's by using bots.

3476. Anonymous (cpc2-bolt3-6-0-cust243.manc.cable.ntl.com) – 10 Dec 2005 20:00:03 [ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]

Oh and this might sound silly, but on levels i,ve seen one switch change several things at once...i did not know that was possible...HOW do you do that?

3475. Hardcore_raver_86 (cpc2-bolt3-6-0-cust243.manc.cable.ntl.com) – 10 Dec 2005 19:42:12 [ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]

First i would like to apologise for the unsuitable language used in the titles of two of my levels. I created these levels with the titles to be aimed at a friend of mine, before i was aware that you can upload your own levels for public use. By that time i had simply forgot to change the offensive titles, so please do not judge my levels for that error. thanks.

P.S. No disrespect intended towards the creator of this game, Its a game I discovered while looking to download Chips Challenge...And this is much better! Good Luck with this!

Hah, no--to make that reference I needed only to read the title page, or front cover, or spine!

So it's like, We never stop working for you unless you don't pay your bill for 11 months or we decide to deny your existence?

We mustn't forget the psychological consequences of temperature:

ennui-inducingly hot
social-obligation-cancellingly cold

Drat! Well, maybe I will take a look at this tonight.

Can you tell me what happened the last time before it crashed?

3471. Kirima (179.147.77.83.cust.bluewin.ch) – 10 Dec 2005 18:24:49 [ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]

Another crash...!

Oof ... sorry about your laundry. What loverly pictures.

Does this mean you've finished the book?

Not sure if you're on the IP list, but apparently Verizon wasn't acknowledging it had 412/PA customers on its website for awhile (it alleged something like there were no services available for 412 customers).

3469. Tom 7 (h-72-244-69-245.phlapafg.dynamic.covad.net) – 10 Dec 2005 17:04:52 [ Combo deal ]

Update. Objects now known not to act as "laundry ehancers": Uni-Ball Deluxe black ball-point pens.

Genetic algorithms!

Well, rest assured that typical ATP is a bit more directed than that... ;)

Automated theorem proving is one of the things which most fascinates me. I remember that I wasted months on a program to randomly construct algorithms which were supposed to produce prime numbers only. The algorithmic constructor took various historical prime generation algorithms, split them in tokens and recombined them randomly spicing them a bit here and there. So ingenuous, so entertaining!

"colder than a dog's ass on the mooningly cold."

Darren: The key means that you were the uploader, so you can (for instance) delete the level.

Thanks for finding your way back! All of the levels that I have are in the game, even the really really old ones.

Teeth-Grinding(ly) icy chill (Canadian term)


and



Sweat-heapin, tongue-swellin hot (Cajun) -just add ly for adverb form, and say with a French accent.

3463. Darren (accad2e2.ipt.aol.com) – 09 Dec 2005 21:54:51 [ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]

This is perhaps a silly question, but what does the key by a level mean, after it's been uploaded?

It's interesting to be playing Escape again after all these years. I submitted levels ages ago and completely forgot about the game. I was amazed to see they're still in the current version.

Must it be an adverb? My favorite is "colder than a dog's ass on the moon."

(P.S. Man, "nipple-crackingly" is painful even to think about!)
