Ok guys, I've posted an update of the levels. Check them out. The first level is unchanged. The second one has half the amount of chips. The third level has much less elements to worry about. I kept the original versions of the two latter levels in the set for reference, but not for use in the competition. If these are the final versions, should I extend the deadline to account for this hassle?
I worked over an hour on optimizing each of the new versions of Sophomore Fetcher
and Junior Fetcher
, so I should have a better grasp of what kinds of results I can expect on those levels than earlier. I also worked on optimizing the original versions after this and they weren't quite as daunting as they might have seemed at first glance, but I admit that squeezing the absolute best route out of them would be a tremendous task. Nevertheless, I think the new versions are better for the competition, and should prove more interesting than the originals. It's not simple to find the fine line between too easy to optimize and way too complex, while still being an otherwise interesting TT level.
Now I'm going to sleep and I expect constructive feedback upon waking again
