Armadillo Run forum

I am working on a book about Armadillo Run. So far the general plan is to have a Physics reference, a little encyclopedia of AR specific constructions, a gallery of the cheapest "light" solutions for the built in levels, and a contest training section.

If you are interested in a book on AR, please post what you would like to get out of it. Thanks!

A new interview with Peter Stock and interviews with contest legends on how they approach solutions and in-depth how to construct a good level.

techniques for 'constructing levels' instead of just solving them is an excelent idea

how to construct a good level.

That's an interesting question, and one that seems hard to put in words.

Maybe you should start a thread on favourite custom levels and then when you feel you know which levels are popular, interview the creators...

Good idea

How about an Unofficial AR wiki?

Cool if you published the book in wikijpedia

A cool thing would be a thumbnail overview through the historical contest levels.

make sure you include the variaty and complexity and the simplicity of some triggers, hence, IM YOUR TRIGGER MAN!

I have been extremely busy but hope to get back on track in a few weeks.

you should also in clude in the book the advantages of dark force and if it should be used.

Alternatives to the expensive built-in timer is going to make it in the book.

The "force" will be mentioned, although it still is a bug that will someday be removed.

I'm not sure about a AR wiki, but the "light list"is already up on the main site.

Almost ready. I started a blog about it: http://secretsofthearmadillorunmasters.blogspot.com/
