Sorry Walter, the tweakiness of putting the end portal out of bounds irritated me to the point of "can't be bothered".

I had the ball where it needed to be, but after 20 minutes of trying I still couldn't stop it going through everything, not to mention dark force kicking. Is it even possible to get a light solution to this?

Hang loose V4nKw15h. Light exists even for those who live on the edge of society. Materials behave differently when out of bounds. Choose wisely. It's a piece of cake.

As this is an 'A' league level perhaps someone could enlighten the non-vets to the out-of-bounds rules. I've played Armadillo for a while now but even I get confused by the altered physics at the edge. As far as I understand it: metal bars and sheets remain solid as long as they're anchored to something, ropes and fabric become ineffective; is this right?

[wolterw]

The general physics doesn't change when out of bounds but for one significant exception: at a given distance from the edge, that varies for each material, the collision detection mechanism is deactivated. So materials will pass thru other materials without colliding with each other. The attached level exemplifies the concept.

I will start the bidding at 910

Thanks for the explanation on different distances for different materials. I never realised that. Made it far less annoying to play around with.

Edit: Is anyone else competing in this one? Is nobody going to raise 910?
