Or... are they?
Actually, this is already on my to-do list. It will pop up the comment screen if you submit a rating with 'cooked' set. |

I think you should make a description of how the level was cooked a requirement for checking the [cooked] box. I've noticed a good deal of reported cooks on levels that are pretty obviously uncookable... |

You should just need PDF viewing capabilities to see it. |

May I suggest adding a synopsis to your novel's front page? |

More plot only in relative terms. I assure you that this can still only barely be considered "novel." |

Go tom! I think you are stealing all the delicious plotygen from the atmosphere. My novel presently has none whatsoever, and is spewing clouds of toxic vignette monoxide. |

Yeah, he's a sweet guy as well, I chatted him up at the merch table about the Wilco tour and such, and he just came across as very genuine and unaware of his massive skills. Satomi was also quite nice. |

Though I guess the second time, it wasn't "new". I knew and so, when they came on, I said to my friends, "sorry, I have to ditch you all and move to the very front for Deerhoof cuz I just want to watch the drummer the whole time." |
| |
Hah, that's exactly what I have said after each time I've seen them (about a "new favorite drummer")! |
| |
yeah, get lost is great. The House of Tomorrow EP is also quite good.
But nothing beats Deerhoof live. Saw them two nights ago, and it was the best show I've seen in quite awhile. I think I have a new favorite drummer. |

Eating Buildings took 5th overall.

We were leading in points until the last 15 minutes or so...
The thing that killed it for us was the metapuzzle, which we solved with only a minute left in regulation. Four teams beat us to it! |

although i respect that alot, Id be fired if that were my job, after killing jason off and countless screaming argonauts. I think that song is about lights and birds, it always confuses me |

Thanks for the comments, Jay! I added stdio.h and committed the change to the sources.
The only current undo feature is that you can save your current solution using 's' and then replay that solution (until you quit the level) using 'r'. This is actually a "secret" right now, and it might go away in future versions. I think that allowing undo might make the game too easy.
The order of the levels is not supposed to indicate a good order to tackle them, except for the tutorials. If you like, you can sort by difficulty (ctrl-d) and solve the easy ones first (short red bar), although many of the easy ones are crummy. (So look for a high style score -- that's the green bar). One of the things that's definitely planned is to set up a real collection of levels, instead of making a first-time player wade through all of the junk in triage.
In general it's not reasonable to prevent the player from stepping in the path of a laser, since a move can have many consequences (such as stepping on a panel, teleporting, moving blocks). It might make sense to do a conservative version where it prevents you from stepping into
a laser's path only in certain simple situations. But this would still ruin some levels, ie, "What's Going On Over There?" by Max.
Level selection is supposed to remember the last level you worked on (at least while Escape is open), so if that's not working, let me know. |

I had a compile error for util.h on my system, which is using SuSE 7.0 Linux as the base system, gpp 2.95.3, gcc 2.95.3, libgpp 2.95.3, and glibc-devel 2.2.4. The error is because "FILE" is not defined. When I add "#include <cstdio>" (or "#include <stdio.h>") to util.h, it compiles fine and runs. (I do not know what the most portable solution would be.)
A couple suggestions...
- It would be nice to have unlimited undo capability in the levels.
- Since this seems to have a steep learning curve (the first MyLevels level that is rated easy is tough for me, even though the tutorial levels and the first triage level were not too bad), it would be nice if the beams of lasers were always showing so you know you can't walk in front of them. (Some of the images look like the beam should be blocked although it isn't.) Even nicer would be if the program would not let you move in a laser's path.
- It would be nice if the level selection screen remembered the last level solved or level being worked on and highlighted that.
But overall, this is a great idea and has great potential. Thanks for the fun this will bring! |

Election results left me in a depressed stupor for two days. Lets hope it doesn't happen too often over the next 4 years :(. BTW - my friends in Brussels, as I do, find this incomprehensible. |

Yeah, I have heard "i", but I think there are only about three songs I like on it. Actually, "Get Lost" doesn't really compare to 69 Love Songs (what could?) but that one song is great.
I remember thinking that Bogdan had potential, but not giving him a real chance. Maybe I should try again. |

Have you listened to the "i" album (also magnetic fields)?
