Oh so it's like I'm actually saving time instead of wasting time. |

Man I hope you can pass the Numchuck Skill Requirement. |

I totally did it. Actually, you are watching someone play megaman and another megaman for 48 minutes. |

Kirima: I'm workin' on it.. a few more years, I guess.
As for hints, you can ask people for hints (maybe here), or you can read the comments on levels with the spoilers turned on; that will usually give something away. But I find that solving a level with hints is a lot less fun. It is DEFINITELY the case that some of these levels are REALLY HARD. There are several that I've wasted many hours on and not solved!
For editing: I'm not sure what problem you're reporting. What do you mean when you say you want to find out where certain positions "are"? If I'm guessing correcly, then this might help: instead of using the menu at the top to switch between the layers, put your mouse pointer over the place where you want to edit the alternate layer, and then press 'y' on the keyboard to toggle. That way your mouse is already in the right place.
Sorry about the international keyboard issues. I want to sort this out at some point, but I think it's more a problem with the SDL than with my code. (Unfortunately, as I only have US keyboards around, the problem is somewhat distant for me...) BTW, ctrl-s doesn't do anything. While playing, 's' alone saves, and 'u' alone undos. While editing, 's' saves the level, and 'u' doesn't do anything that I recall. |

Anon: No, I just fixed a problem where bans weren't actually doing anything on scribble, so a bunch of old bans went into effect. The reason I wrote was "Excessive immaturity on scribble." Your whole ISP is banned, so it's quite possible that you are just getting unfairly banned because of something someone else did, and a long time ago. I don't usually ban people unless they are being unreasonably mean without provocation. I definitely don't ban people for merely posting civil but negative comments!
Anyway, the ban is pretty old so I removed it. Let's hope that whoever was being uncivil is not planning on striking again. |

That sounds amazing, but damned if I'm going to watch someone else play megaman for 48 minutes. Maybe I'm just jealous. |

Why am I banned from scribble? Does making a negative comment here get one banned? |

I just downloaded & watched most of the video. Although I didn't watch the whole thing, I believe that I have now witnessed the apex of human achievement. |

Oops, I thought you did! ;-) So I hope you'll get it very soon!
Question: Can I get help anywhere when I'm stuck on a certain level without having found any solution by myself yet? Or might it be that I'm just too stupid and some levels are made only for extraordinary clever people...?
I've tried to edit a level - OSX 10.3., iMac G5 - it seems rather complicated to find out where exactly certain positions on the hidden (2nd, background) layer are - is this normal, or a Mac specific problem? Is it possible to define a position, for example coordinates x,y? I realize that some problems might be due to my swiss keyboard, so "?" does not work, but ctrl-+ . ctrl-u does undo, ctrl-s would not safe any progress. |

I didn't get my PhD yet. ;) |

Congratulations Tom 7, great game and PhD |

If a isn't 1, divide the whole polynomial by a. (If it's 0, use the cubic formula!) |
| |
Damn it! the formula wont show when I go to the site. Refresh doesn't work. I blame it on the trinity system.
Zounds! looks like I must search even more for a ridiculously long formula which can't solve ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e. What if a<>1 ? |

Yeah there was also that time Seth Goldstein lunged at him with a modal-box-cutter. Nice dodge! |

How deftly you deflected the skeptics' doubting jests! |

In world war II, the axis powers hated it when their enemies taunted them and called them "axies". |
