I encountered a problem recently with my entry for the Eurogramer contest.
Basically I had a finicky, chaotic solution for the level that only just worked (after much random tweaking). But after saving the level and reloading it had ceased to function. It is a chaotic solution, and the results where noticeably different (quite apart from the 'Dillo not ending up in the goal)
Some of the other people on the Eurogamer thread have seen the same thing, and I was wondering if anyone here had similar experiences.
Or am I just a doofus who forgot to save properly?
Is it possible that the save/load process subtly changes the level? (perhaps even the order in which pieces are defined) which in turn subtly changes the results of the physics solver. In normal use it would be unnoticeable, but it certain chaotic edge cases like this it would radically alter the outcome of the level
Cheers
