Ouch!
I had been planning similar "maze" challenges, but nothing quite as hard as this!

1+ :lol:

Oops... did I make it too hard? I've only had entries from bythelee so far!

Posted: **Mon Nov 05, 2012 1:26 pm**

Hang on!

I'm hanging!
Looking forward to seeing more entries, but take your time as it is indeed a tricky one.

Well, I've only had entries from one person still (bythelee)!
dec10, are you going to enter? I'll give you a bit longer to send in your entry, I don't want bythelee to win by default....

aaargh! Sorry. Been dragged away for several days.
I can't see a finish in reasonable time, much as I'd like to beat bythelee.
Please just go ahead. I'll dream on...

[Friday after closing - I'm beat by the nasty little blob at 10 o'clock on the "o" web - still going...]

Yup, I know that problem. :wink:

Took me five different builds before I found a way past that blob.....

Some got by, but were so badly impeded they didn't have enough residual momentum to get over the top.
Slow-mo and pause/step forwards helped a lot with understanding what I had to do to steer the dillo.
In my final solution he doesn't even touch the blob, and flies past easily, so it can be done.

I won't distract you by pointing out that the Southern channel doesn't have any such nasty pinch points..... :twisted:

So, it looks like we're waiting for dec10 to provide some alternative competition.....

Sorry, was busy with other things... it looks like bythelee wins by default.
Apologies guys, I'll make it easier next time!
I'll post the results now
