MCGINGE IS HOSTING THIS CONTEST. I JUST POSTED THE LEVEL HE CHOSE SO YOU GUYS WOULDN'T GET BORED.

Send your solutions to: mc_ginge@hotmail.com

End Date is Wednesday September 19th at 20:00

:arrow: Materials that can't affect the :armadillo: by themselves are free (i.e. rope)
:arrow: Non-free materials placed outside the red box are 3x normal price.

That is, if you put rope anywhere, it is free. If you put a metal sheet outside the red, it's $60.

So basically use a long series of ropes, bars and pullies to manoeuver the dillo to the portal for a score of $12?

Nah. I wouldn't consider it a flaw. That sounds really tough to do. Anyone who can manage that deserves a medal

We're allowed to go overbudget right?

2 questions, Drago: Overbudget and Tension. Tensioned rope costs $0???

//IMHO it is good idea not to allow overbudget. This will make level MUCH more complex and interesting!

Oh dear, tensioned elastic will screw some things up... :( Tension costs. Just the materials are free, not upgrade-ish things.

alright calm down... i couldnt post it because i had extreme family issues which were slightly more important than this forum.... HE can do it if he wants but its my level so i thought i would have the right to do it... but if youre going to get angry because i had issues and couldnt post it then your less of a man than i thought...
