New to this game but having fun. Most of my "scores" for the built in levels are much higher than "The Light List". But my Level 17 - Catapult, had $210 left.
I don't know how yet to pass the approach to the forum.

I Put a sheet metal plate on the right side hooked to the lower right node, and rope under tension from the upper left node, rope from upper right node under tension and short timer both hooked to top of metal sheet. Start, AR flies up, right rope snaps, AR flies by nodes, metal sheets are pulled below AR and catch AR as it falls back.
Something like that!

Cheers,
Dilly

Sorry Dilly,

After being swamped by spam artifical members over a few years, drastic measures were taken to make it difficult for new members to post.

Posting required moderator approval of the new post / topic. Once approved, the restrictions would be removed, and you'd join us without any restrictions.
And since I was the only Mod here for ages, you needed to PM me to be "activated".
But I lost the habit of checking my moderator account (bythemod) and hence missed you joining us.

However, it appears our long struggle for survival is over now.
This is a venerable 9 year old game, which is remarkable for any PC game. But AR is still the best for pure physics challenges.


As for level 17, It's been so long, I can't even tell whether 210 is a "good score" or not.
AR was originally all about the cheapest way to achieve the goal.
But sometimes it's just more fun to "build the device you want".
Your flinger/catcher sounds pretty cool!

PS - you should now be able to attach files to posts. If you wanted to share your solution, you should now be able to upload. Just "browse" on a new post (or edit post) and "add the file".
