Thanks, you're too kind.... it's only a pulley hoist after all.
Without the inspiration of Ioncorpse and mark_man and their chat about a "bottom way" I probably wouldn't have got it. So thanks to them, too.
Now, HELP! a big problem: I have three challenges to choose from for AR 226.
BUT:
1) Is probably too easy and straightforward - six POCs in 20 minutes - I wanted to find ways to make it more difficult before posting.
2) Is so difficult, I haven't been able to complete a POC for it. I'm not sure I ever can, because it might need some dark or breakage tricks to finish. It LOOKS simple enough, but it isn't. So posting it when I'm not sure it can be solved seems risky.
3) Is just right, with some amusing chaos. I solved it, saved the solution, watched it a few more times, saved it again as a POC filename, watched it again, then went back to the menu to try other solutions. Later on I reloaded the successful POC, and.... it failed completely! The solution was totally and utterly different. The dillos went in completely different places. This changed solution now seems to happen repeatably every time I load it. Other saves have also showed a different response when loaded again.
I do not understand this at all - it has never happened before. AR has always been totally repeatable and reliable.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? It is a large level, but not that large - similar size to "Simple", actually. There are a lot of dillos (32), but there were many more in 180-MeteorShower.
I don't really want to post an easy challenge, but the difficult one might be too difficult, and is POC-less.
Ideally I'd like to understand why 3) doesn't solve the same way when loaded from a save file.
I do have a fourth - a variant on a problem Paolof posted many months ago. I asked him at the time about it, and he was happy for me to use it. But again I think it will also seem simple to you.
Any advice, suggestions or preferences would be very welcome. Thanks.
