Armadillo Run forum

OK - Time has come!!
Many interesting entries this time - as allways!
There was one light winner and one dark winner this time - both with same name and adress:

Peter T won both dark 7342 and light 7140

Second place dark and light went to MarkMan

Here are some teasers:

And KOS was a naughty boy and had a home accident while playing with rockets inside Dr.Dillos house!

Hats off some really nice entry's there.congrats peter

Yay! This is my first light win since... a long time

Seems I really missed the boat on the third level, but my advantage in the other ones was big enough to balance that.

Grats Peter T I thought 'Under the Stairs' was a v nice solution.

Yep, nice work PeterT. Clever economising

I have to say though that my favourite solution of all the ones I looked at would definitely have to be luka1222's one. Had to take the hard way didn't you

If you use 7zip the whole thing comes down to 20k!
I'll be glad when zip stops being the standard compression format, I am a bit of a compression geek though

Agreed Luka's and king of the spills are both good watching!!!

I thought I had some pretty nice solutions to this level, but it looks like I was wrong . I'm especially impressed with Peter's 1-rubber shot which made it the whole way - It just goes to show how important a gap between the armadillo and the rubber is.

Other solutions I like were:
peter's solution to the first level - the armadillo stays at just the right height, so that he slides down a bit to compensate for the lack of counterweights on the other side of the 'pulley'.
'IonCo'? 's solution to the last level, it's really nicely thought out (positioning of the ropes on the metal plate), and moves really smoothly, it feels like you designed the whole thing in your head before putting any of it down on 'paper'.

Where's ARFC_B_VIII?

I'm just now making it, today was the first day of the new semester at Uni so I was a bit busy

I just had another look at these, and was especially impressed by mark_man's door-opening techniques.

Some seriously ingenious stuff there, it's a pity that using the armadillo as the door opener turns out cheaper!!

Congratulations Peter!

I really am curious about the -17390 solution... so slow on my machine it's pitiful .

it's pretty awesome (although it does use timers) - the original rocket takes the armadillo up to the atmosphere, on re-entry it lands in the chimney with such force that it dislodges the rocket there (and continues on through)! then it goes on a nice journey down the back of the house and there are some other fun rocket tricks, and a pulley to open the door at the right time.
