I spent more time than I care to admit watching those videos.
They were busted. I ended up having to scramble and design these levels very quickly at the last moment and with little testing because I lost the original levels I had designed, which did not have busts.
Btw, this is a shame. I was greatly looking foward to your submission. It will be held in the future, but I can't say when. Probably later on in the CCLP1 voting cycle at this rate, when there are fewer levels to vote on to eat your time.
I think this is an acceptable idea, but it would need to be very detailed.

I played them a little and I'll say it was fun to play them "normally" or just dodge stuff for as long as I could. Those were some ingenious designs!

Quote:I guess I can finally post my progress...I managed a perfect run, but my recording software choked trying to encode the 50 minute video. So I gave up, assuming at best I would tie anyway (and it looks like I was right). On the first level I rammed at (11, 1). In retrospect, (7, 1) is a much better choice. The second level I did the same as J.B, and on the third I put blocks at (7, 13), (8, 14), (8, 11), and (10, 13).

Quote:Too bad, pieguy. We were wondering about it, since you had expressed awareness of the competition already. Had you entered, you would also have qualified for the award bearing your name. Maybe in the future we can consider allowing for submissions using screenshots and an explanation, provided that the level can be explained in that way.
