do i sense a note of sarcasm? or is it more of a chord? :)

sorry if this level is a little to mechanical... i have tried to make it so that different solutions are viable. it may even be possible to beat this level cheap without a single bar pulley. maybe someone will prove me right.

i suppose that bar pulleys have gotten pretty boring for the old heads. they still retain some novelty for me, but it is admittedly failing. but there doesn't seem to be an easy way of escaping the bar pulley... there is just something magically efficient about that blueprint. it would be interesting if bars were like ropes, and they went through each other... that'd be a very different game.

Ha! I didn't make a single bar pulley.

I hate them and I've never even made one! (I think)

Same; down with them...

Yeah, I know of at least one way to do it cheaper than pullies but so far I've failed miserably. Hopefully someone can do it

I have no idea, I haven't completed the level at all. I wouldn't be surprised though if it were easily doable for 10500 or 10600

Hmmm im looking forward to seeing these solutions, even if they are gonna be bar pulleys. Maybe a creativity medal could be pulled out of the bag for an alternative light method... :wink: :D

Creativity

Postby fringD » Wed Aug 22, 2007 9:57 pm

yeah, i'll give a creativity medal if there's an entry that deserves it, bar pulley or otherwise.

i'm starting to think that the creativity medal should definitely be optional, and the bar should be reasonably high. i'm not so sure my solution to the last contest really qualifies. we should save the creativity medal for those exceptionally cool or unique solutions.
