yes, I did it in 10 minutes, and that was more than enough for me. I'm not interested in messing around with complicated solutions for the A league. I sent my solution as soon as I did it and I have no intention of going back and tweaking. I only sent it to fill out the results.zip because this place is dying.

As is being discussed in the B league thread: The A league should be about a 5-10 minute easy solution with the option of fine tweaking for a perfect solution. Cresta was the master at creating that type of A league level.

Levels like this make me think "Oh god, there is no point, someone with more time on their hands is going to wipe the floor with whatever I can come up with quickly."

For me levels like this are just too messy and time consuming for my taste. This is B league material for those that want a bigger/longer challenge.

It's not impossible... I'm just sure that there's a cheaper way to do it than what I came up with. But, I'm new to this...

It's not impossible... Yes, it's an easy level, POC can be done in 5 minutes, but it's a tweaky level, 'perfect' solution will cost 3-4 hours at least.

Now i can spend 0-2 hours on Armadillo per week.. so.............

Gosh, this is all a bit heavy (and somewhat sad).

As to "dying", there are only so many variations on voids and balancing acts, so the good players are bound to fade away. Not many create 'amusing' multi path puzzles any more. Maybe we need some new materials...

Meanwhile, I found this one interesting, but I wasn't trying for "the perfect solution".
I've submitted it just so no-one else is at the bottom of the list.
