Welcome to the 223nd AR2 A contest: Challenge

Not too difficult. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: And you have a lot of time, just because!

Have fun!

There are 4 portals, 4 difficulties.
1. Easy.
2. Normal, +300$
3. Hard, +800$
4. Impossible, +5000$



There are TWO levels attached, 1st one - original, but AR have problems with watching :armadillo: from outside. So you can play second one with rules of 1st "Nothing can be placed outside, but you can through objects there if you want or anything else, that you can reproduce on original level if you doubt."


AR2 Version 2.1.3 Beta is used, make sure you use the correct version.

Prices Have changed (not much).

Just to check some things that missed in translation:
- we may build only in the left-hand pane of ChallengeR (to the left of the red rope)
- the anchor points holding the red rope in ChallengeR are NOT available (because they do not exist in Challenge)

"Nothing can be placed outside, but you can through objects there if you want or anything else, that you can reproduce on original level if you doubt."
I think you mean
"Nothing can be placed to the right of the red rope, but you can throw objects there", and
"you can do anything that can be reproduced on the original level"


It isn't clear to me which portal is which. Apart from "easy", which is obvious.
But I presume the portals are in order - the further into the passage, the more difficult.
So the "impossible" portal is also the largest one?

As for me - there is a little problem in this level.
1. Very easy.
2. Very hard.
3-4. Almost impossible.

My friend told me, that main problems - 2nd portal should be a bit closer, about 10 pixels lower or 50 pixels to the left and I agree with him. In other case 300$ should be changed to 500$. But what was done is done. :roll: I hope you'll send me good solutions. In case of draw on 1st portal - the prime winner is cheapest 2nd.

The easy portal is stupidly easy.
The rest seem out of reach of my skills. :(

For me the dillo start position is the big problem. He cannot immediately be powered into the maze.
I can't get enough momentum at the right (delayed) time to get very far.
But given the numbers everyone is talking about, I must be thinking about this completely wrong.
I'm spending over $1000 and still not getting close to the second portal!

It's frustrating, but that also means it's a challenging challenge.
Maybe I'll think of something in time to properly compete... :wink:

As I already said.. level isn't good. 2nd portal with 300$ is possible, I will show a poc. But really very hard.
