"how it will change existing contest results"

That's not an issue. As long as AR2 is in beta every new version tends to kill some old solutions. It's good you send it to peter as most of us don't use too much cloth pulleys. Personally I like to use it the other way around. Connect something to a metal sheet using a piece of cloth that crosses the plate. A little weight (dillo) is enough to release the cloth.

EDIT: added an example

I just found a few more points.

Dave, a cloth pulley is going to be expensive, there are cheaper ways.

Thanks for your comments Guys.
Please understand that I have no complaints - just observations.

As far as cloth goes, I want it both ways! There are some days I wish a cloth intersecting a plate would hold very tightly, and others where the trigger effect is useful. Peter should make the game read our minds! And yes, there is a soft spot in my heart for cloth pulleys, too. I am always looking for an excuse to use one.

Ah,
I'm not the only one then.
I'll plan a level with only soft materials in mind and see how many complaints it generates!

Hmm. Now I am worried. I thought i was within $1 of the maximum, but maybe not?

Worry no more, I only have 978 and out of ideas.

[sendai45]

Very bold bidding! You had me going. Sent me back to the drawing board and I ended up with something that doesn't work at $768.
