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?

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?

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).

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.

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!)

nipple-crackingly cold
pore-gapingly hot

"Fusionly hot" and/or
"Cold fusionly cold"

Sridhar, you and I are speakin' the same language.

Permit me to expand the game to other weather dimensions, namely, barometric:

"eye-buggingly low pressure"
"triple-pointingly high pressure"
 
3458. Sridhar (cmu-155125.res.cmu.edu) – 09 Dec 2005 16:39:28 Today's Radar Game ]
An authoritative source tells me the Eskimos have two hundred adverbs for describing the intensity of cold... out of which their favorite is, in fact, "bone-chillingly cold". Something universal about that one.

Unfortunately, the cruelties of Sapir-Whorf being what they are, there is no proper Inuit way to describe excessive heat other than as "too hot for TV".

Oh.. well, yeah, I agree with that kind of thing. I mean, we use Twelf (which is like a higher-order, typed prolog... much better) all the time to prove theorems here, and automated theorem proving can often discover proofs that are too tedious for people to find. But I think we need a lot more power before we'll be able to tackle P=?=NP ! (If only we had some kind of process that allowed us to solve hard problems like theorem proving in polynomial time......)
 
3456. Tom 7 (gs82.sp.cs.cmu.edu) – 09 Dec 2005 16:20:15 Today's Radar Game ]
I think the word you're looking for is "combustionly." ;)

soul-splinteringly cold
spontaneous-combustibly hot (is combustibly a word? It sure is fun to say .. )

heh, you know - I still believe that "logic languages" coupled with horrible amounts of memory and computing power, are the way to solve riddles like P vs NP...

Ice-main-breakingly cold

teeth-shatteringly cold!
teeth-mashingly cold!
