ARFC_B_CVII_Galaxy Results

Postby V4nKw15h » Mon Oct 06, 2008 10:25 am

Sorry they are a little late....

the winner is...

Light
:lms: 9678 JimCDubb (good job Jim)

Dark
:dms: 9776 JimCDubb (he managed to beat Ioncorpse by only $2 with utterly different solutions)


Jim sent in a number of fun solutions that were obviously not competitive. Thanks for those Jim. I was hoping a few more would have fun like that with the level. Other than that only Andrew and ddavex sent in solutions, so thanks for those too.

Don't miss Ioncorpses Dark solution which rocks.
I also included two of my own light solutions including a 9708 light.

I don't get ioncorpse's solution.
How come the stacked metal bars don't fan out at the beginning?
I had to go in and start deleting stuff to find out why it cost so much.

Not familiar with the Jackhammer.
Can you expand on that?

I tried to find the original thread on the Jack Hammer, but I think it's gone.

The normal Jack Hammer is just a TONS of metal plates copy pasted vertically on top of each other, and then one plate falls on top.
___ (A single plate)
| (Lots of plate)
Some weird interacting with the nodes makes the top plate shoot off. I'd try to explain it, but I don't really know how it works that well.

I've seen some CRAZY example of it though. The plate got launched up into the air, then fell back down onto the jackhammer again and launched the dillo. I will try to find it and send it to you.

I appreciate that very much.
I still don't understand why the plates (or bars in this case) don't just fan out, but I will play with it.
Thanks.

Since they're in the exact same place, the same force that would be fanning them out tries to fan them out equally in both directions and the net result is not fanning out.

:o
So each individual plate or bar has to be tweaked to the exact same pixel?
Aaah.

Thanks.

Not tweaked. You can copy paste with CTRL C, and CTRL V. So copy one, then paste more all perfectly on top of each other without effort.

I did not know you could use the normal windows Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v shortcuts.
This will help muchly.

You can't create Jackhammer, attached to anchor point, using Copy-Paste method. 8)

You can however create a jackhammer using the copy-paste method and drag an anchor point to the nodes afterwards, takes a little while to do but still a lot quicker than manually lining up many metal sheets; interestingly if you anchor both ends it still works.

Drag anchor point you can do only in editor. It's not allowed. If i understood your method correct.

So here is a simpler one, don't know, how many people knows it, not much I suppose..
From anchor point you drag a new object, which must be long enough to consist of two objects (--) then you make same thing from anchor point to end node many time, then just delete half of objects.
