This level is similar to the level in Contest A1. This is due to the fact that I had been working on this level prior to King releasing his for us to use in A1. Hopefully you will all enjoy it as much as the last one. I didn't have any good ideas for a .end so...there isn't one for this. Yes, I suck.

GOOD LUCK!

Oh,yeah... I have allready made place in my livingroom for the first price

Another very nice level, thank you BFC. I'll start proceedings off then with my first attempt at 4400+, I expect the winning soloution might be around 4800+ though going on previous competitons!

[?rjan Flatseth]

Interesting map... I dont have the heart to tell you my score yet... how we all long for that glory and fame.

Hi everyone im a newbie here, loving the competitions and im so glad i bought AR, i have looked at the solutions for previous competitions and they are really impressive. I think it will take me a few comps before i get to a competeing standard, but my current score for this level is just over 4450 so im quite happy with that. Ill keep tweaking and testing and ill say good luck to everyone as well. Have Fun!

[?rjan Flatseth]

Ill say 4450 is very good for a starter!

[jainus]

ill say 4666 is not bad either

[?rjan Flatseth]

nice number, but... Oh - yeah. Its true! Ah....sniff. Mmmmh

[jainus]

can you exceed my 4700 then orjan?

[?rjan Flatseth]

NP

[jainus]

what's your offer?

[kingofthespill]

$4100 .

[Malco]

I have a 4600+ but I cant see anywhere near 4700 at the moment

[jainus]

ok, i have a strange problem, i tweaked a solution, right? so it worked, i reopened the level, to see my proud thing working again and it doesn't! arrgh,

but then, i adjust one thing, undo that, and the solution works again!.. is this a bug? Does my solution count? what's going on

[BFC]

As long as your solution works when I view it... it counts.

To avoid any problems with levels that mysteriously stop working, immediately save the level after it is successful and then re-open it and save it again as a different name.

I save mine as "whatever_BFC-v1" for a level that I'm working on and when it succeeds I'll save it as "whatever_BFC-v1(1000)".

This leaves you with 2 copies of the same level. one you never touch (the one with the score on it) and one you can work on as you wish.

I've never had a level not work for me doing it this way.
