Just joined so a little help would be appreciated. First, how do I upload an entry to a contest and how does the time limit work.

Thank you for the warm welcome, I've put entries into the contests so fingers crossed. I will be begging for help if I've done something wrong.

I've got a $900 left solution, though it is dark.
(trying to see if I can get it to 920, don't think I can though)

900 Dark is a nice starting bid.

Thanks for the additional help. My bid goes in at 630 Light.

How do you create a contest, is it by using the "edit level" in the game. How do you get the Dark solutions, is there some extra software available :?:

A little more info and I think I'll be there.

Yes, markmadras, you create levels by selecting New level in the Edit level mode. The winner of the current contest with the highest light score has the right to host the next contest.
As far as your dark question, dark solutions use a bug in the software that creates energy that does not happen in real physics by intersecting endnodes.
This two links in my post above explain hosting contests, and how the "dark force" works and how to create it.

Welcome markmadras and randomgamer.

To submit an entry, first of all you need a previously saved solution for the actual level, and that's easy as pie: when you comleted the level then select "edit", then "save", and name it as for example "900-markmadras-dark". Then hit the PM button on the forum page(below hosts nickname( in this case mikee7)), and add a file which can be founded in Armadillo Run\Levels folder on your comp, in this case that would be: ARFC_A_231_Hanging.900-markmadras-dark.lvl
Hopefully i was understandable, but this is the max what my english allows :lol:
