I could do it, but since it's really easy to game the system in other ways, I'd rather just foster a sense of community where dishonest ratings are frowned upon. If you notice any instances of abuse, let me know and I can fix it.

Idea:
Could effects of rating own levels be neutralized? I've rated a few of mine accidentally and I really don't think that you're the best person to say how good your own levels are. Also, it's possible to give 10's to all of your own levels to boost the score, which is kind of unfair. |

Yeah, I've got my lights off too, so I can bathe in the soothing phosphorescent glow and increase my sex appeal. But if I were using a flashlight to read papers, well, enough is enough! |
| |
Then it wouldn't be so sexy. CSI has been the biggest thing to hit science in years. It's totally cool to be geeky and smart like.
I work in R&D; if we kept our lights like that, I'd bump into something and kill someone. Bummer. |

Heart framers: It's not obvious what the answer should be. Generally, things are activated by stepping onto them. It's true that panels are an exception to this, but they are an exception to almost everything. ;) But, the point is sorta moot since they've been around for so long... I don't change old behavior unless there's an incontrovertible bug!
Nothing can be pushed into a teleport, even Daleks. Since bombs don't move on their own, there's no way for them to go through teleports.
As for seeing bomb fuses, it's a kind of hidden information like bot numbers and panel destinations. A plan for the future is to have a key that shows these things, since I don't believe in hidden information. But, showing the timer numbers all the time just makes bombs too ugly (like showing dests or bot numbers would). |

Should teleporting onto a heart framer pick it up? |

Agreed. I know it's the night shift, but still... |

More munitions musing: Daleks can go through teleports, but bombs can't?
Also, puzzles are made harder from the fact that you don't know how long a bomb's fuse is until you actually move it. (Might be nice if the countdown was initially indicated on the bomb.) |

SALT
The little buggers don't like salt!
Never thought about using bleach.
Just take your container of Morton's or whatever and pour it where the pushy little bastards are stretching their way out & up and into the glorius shade where they emit their GLORIUS LITTLE PROGENY spores.
On a new room that we had built on to an existing house about a year ago, (the "plague" began this summer--rainy season)
we've had mushrooms growing outdoors from under the threshold AND INSIDE...same place, through the sealant at the base of the doorway.
After a great deal of chin-rubbing it is my decided theory that our construction engineer/fireman/friend didn't get enough of a downward slope on the concrete stoop. He mumbled as he advised us–as we were writing out his final check–to get some guttering put up there. |

Kirima: escape.txt is the same for all of the platforms. It comes inside the Escape "app" on mac osx (browse inside the icon to find it), or you can just read it online:
http://escape.spacebar.org/win32/escape.txt
.. but it doesn't explain everything yet. =( |

Stephan: I agree that bombs require learning a new property of tiles (that is, their bombableness), and all things equal, that's undesirable. But bombs are way too hard for level designers to control if they can destroy anything. I've tried to make sure that there are some blocks from each broad category (wall, pushable, etc.) that are destroyable and some that aren't. BTW, you got it slightly wrong, so here is the actual list from the code. The "true" ones at the top are bombable and the false ones are invincible.
/* some level of danger */
case T_EXIT:
case T_SLEEPINGDOOR:
/* useful */
case T_LASER:
/* obvious */
case T_BROKEN:
case T_GREY:
case T_RED:
case T_GREEN:
/* a soft metal. ;) */
case T_GOLD:
case T_NS:
case T_WE:
case T_NW:
case T_NE:
case T_SW:
case T_SE:
case T_NSWE:
case T_TRANSPONDER:
case T_BUTTON:
case T_BLIGHT:
case T_GLIGHT:
case T_RLIGHT:
/* ?? sure? */
case T_BLUE:
/* don't want walls made of this
ugly thing */
case T_STOP:
/* but doesn't count as picking it up */
case T_HEARTFRAMER:
/* ?? easier */
case T_PANEL:
case T_RPANEL:
case T_GPANEL:
case T_BPANEL:
return true;
case T_FLOOR:
/* obvious */
case T_HOLE:
case T_ELECTRIC:
case T_BLACK:
case T_ROUGH:
/* for symmetry with holes.
maybe could become holes,
but that is just more
complicated */
case T_TRAP1:
case T_TRAP2:
/* useful for level designers */
case T_LEFT:
case T_RIGHT:
case T_UP:
case T_DOWN:
/* Seems sturdy */
case T_TRANSPORT:
case T_ON:
case T_OFF:
case T_1:
case T_0:
/* made of metal */
case T_STEEL:
case T_BSTEEL:
case T_RSTEEL:
case T_GSTEEL:
case T_LR:
case T_UD:
case T_SPHERE:
case T_BSPHERE:
case T_RSPHERE:
case T_GSPHERE:
/* shouldn't bomb the floorlike things,
so also their 'up' counterparts */
case T_BUP:
case T_BDOWN:
case T_GUP:
case T_GDOWN:
case T_RUP:
case T_RDOWN:
return false;
As for pushing bombs into holes, well, too late for that now. Although it makes sense in a way, I think it's less regular, because bombs are bots and other bots can't be pushed into holes. |
