Dont think that changing rules during the contest is good idea. There is just no need to do it.

So I'm gonna have to resign for a 56K+L score... :cry:

McGinge, if the problem is a couple of millisecond I sure you can tweak it!!!!

Posted: **Tue Sep 04, 2007 3:04 pm**

lol i didnt think i would but then i saw 2 random metal bars just sat there for no reason!!!

dont worry its all tweaked!! 62000 L

75k+ Dark. Anyone playing it dark with me?

Posted: **Tue Sep 04, 2007 3:39 pm**

I might do; but i reckon you've just used more stupidly genius jachammers!

EDIT: 68000 Light (realised that was a stupidly easy way of gettin the dillo half way quickly and cheaply XD)

Lol thanks, I think you might've given away something important.

How have I done that?? By telling you that there is a half way to the level...

I thought you might have been able to work out that by yourself!!

still cant get how do you get such scores light. Mine dark is 76k+ and it is damn hard to tweak :/

You'll wait and see; the trick is to think more of time than cost i think...

it is not so obvious: saving 1 point in time ~ saving 250$ in budget. (For my solution) ~ 4k in score.
//Of course I'm speaking about little changes of solution.

yeah thats what i thought! this is the first contest i've played in for ages!

Well you did give away that there is a cheap/fast way through half the level so I can look for a big hill or a gap etc. It really makes it easier. Sometimes it helps to see high scores and go "omg there must be a way to do X if he got $x!!"

Posted: **Tue Sep 04, 2007 8:50 pm**

Well you dont actually know my method... So it doesnt really help you...

Posted: **Tue Sep 04, 2007 8:52 pm**

Yes it does. It makes it less usable because of the vague-ness (hey is there a better word than that?? I'm curious.) but it will still help :mrgreen:
