New Level (Advanced) This Level Is

Hi all,
I have been inspired by the beautiful spring weather. (And by Roger)
So.....this level is for the birds.

This level is what??????? That title scares me

I am off to take a look.

Lillian · Post by **Lillian** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 9:02 pm

This level is ........ very funny but driving me nuts

New word for the dictionary = funnuts!

I must have tried it 30+ times! Just one clue please - z-bot or chomp side first?

Cleaky funnuts....I didn't get past the lovely SOKOBAN........ yet

WHAT ??!?!!

O/G, did you use that nasty word?

Haven't tried this yet, now I don't know if I want to!

Roger....these are 'Lillian speak' ...I thought we should have a Wonderland Dictionary and include them; they are the first 2 entries

I bet you have one that we can add

Soko-banned maybe?

Sorry to take up your space, JG.....I am still SOKOBANING.

Chomps, then house, then z-bot.

Good one, JG! Usually I have trouble with sokobans, but I got this one! Love the birds! Great planning on leaving that last coin where you did. It sure kept me from getting my ankles bitten!

Loads of fun! Thanks!

rmelin13 · Post by **rmelin13** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 10:31 pm

Very nice models, jg.

I love the birds. I don't love the soko-banned.

But I will continue to pursue this.
I will solve it.
I will.

(It can be solved, can't it?)

WOW!!! What an absolute stinker of a level - I am a nervous wreck!

I think I did it a completely different way to your intended way JG

SPOILER:

I did the red gate first, killed the z-bot in blue gate, then the house, then the chomps, then killed one chomp and used the other to keep red gate open!!!!!!! Was that right?

Ingenious little sokobanner

ol'gramma · Post by **ol'gramma** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 1:01 pm

Wow..there are several ways to do this level.

Mine was similar to yours Lillian, to start

SPOILER

I never used the chompers or the boulder in the left section
I had left 2 coins in the right side so I picked them up on the way out and the chompers never got their giddy-up going.

janetgalle · Post by **janetgalle** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 2:08 pm

The way I planned it was to use all the boulders on all the buttons.. If you get the coins from the chompers first, they never bother you. (More of an intimidation thing)

I just love it when people find alternate ways to do these things!

jg

Do you want me to show you how I do it, or are you just happy to be done with it?

jane · Post by **jane** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 2:21 pm

I would sure like to know

. I know I am going to kick myself, but I would like a hint please.

janetgalle · Post by **janetgalle** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 3:28 pm

Spoiler
*******************************************

Push #1 to the right. Move Peegue up to the top and right taking the first coin. Push #2 down, go back around and push #1 to the right again. Do not take the 2 coins circled in red. Go up the yellow path, down to the yellow button, right to the green button and down, taking the two coins. Go to #4 push it up and then left and then up...leave it on the green button. Go to #5 and push it up. Now push #4 left to yellow button, #5 up to green button, #2 left to light blue and #3 up to dark blue. DONE!

End Spoiler

JG...would you like to know how I did this? It was quite different.
I won't post it without your OK, but I can PM it to you.

An excellent challenge...the level that is HAHAHA

O/G

jane · Post by **jane** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 4:29 pm

This is what I looked like before :

Now this is me now after your help!!

thanks for the spoiler, even though I hate to do it that way. Great level, you always do a fantastic job. Look forward to more.

pixiepogle · Post by **pixiepogle** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 5:34 pm

Thanks Jg I used your spoiler after driving myself
mad about 20 times trying to figure it out myself

I liked the birds, I had to do it again to read the last one
because I couldn't find it using shift

Great fun

OK, I did finish this one.

I figured I'd better finish it, seeming how my
name is involved. The graphics are really neat!

jg - nice poem! Don't suppose the publishers are knocking at your door yet, are they?

And, if I may:

janetgalle wrote:I can't do most sokoban....just wanted to see if I could make one

You've made one.
Time to move on.

(side note - yes, I used the hints after over an hour of kicking dogs and
throwing the keyboard at the cat)

Very nicely done. Based on comments, you've managed to create a whale
of a sokoban. Don't make any more.

ol'gramma · Post by **ol'gramma** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 11:09 pm

O/G solution:

Push boulder thru opening, then S onto aqua button.
Walk over the yellow and green buttons, and then S below green button thru the 2 coins to the blue button.
Stand on and off blue button to kill zbot.
Go in right side area below, take only 2 coins, push boulder up against yellow gates.
Now push that same boulder left, against the other boulder.
Stand on blue button and push boulder N onto yellow button.
Now go into the house and collect 1 coin.
Go to the bottom, push boulder just below blue button up.
Push boulder that came from the right side against coin, then up on blue.
Walk over green button to top, then left and push the boulder on the yellow button onto the green.
Get all coins and the 2 on the way to the exit. Chompers won't get you.
I didn't use the boulder in the lower left area at all.

Does anyone else have another combination?
Thanks JG

popo · Post by **popo** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 7:14 am

I did it exactly the same way but I got all the coins in the right area and used the boulder in the left area to squish the chompers...500pts.

I also had to go back to lood at the last pic, because I went down the exit so quick I missed it.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 8:23 am

Phew!! This was so good JG. What a teaser.

I actually did it the same way O/G did (eventually). But it's so fascinating to see how many other ways there are. Must go back and try Popo's trick of knocking out those chompers.

I'm glad I didn't have to figure that out.

(Your way)
I found this much easier to make than to play.

I'll try to contain my enthusiasm for sokoban.

gee - never ceases to amaze me how simple these things are when the penny drops. All too often my penny needs a push from the author.

Couldn't have managed without the hint Janet but very clever and rewarding to complete.

Thanks Kazza

majic1 · Post by **majic1** » Sat Apr 09, 2005 7:36 pm

Thanks JG! I enjoyed this one. After several tries, I did it - but I'm not sure which order I did things in - it just sort of happened! Then I tried it following OG's hints, and I found that even better. Whichever way you do it tho, it is fun! THANK YOU! How about another???

Poppin' Fresh · Post by **Poppin' Fresh** » Sun Apr 10, 2005 3:55 am

This level is.....making me crazy! I finally did it but only with the hints. It was so obvious but I just couldn't get it. I am not a sokoban fan; but this was still fun to figure out even if I did have to get some hints. It's very intersting to me how I can figure out some of the harder ones and not the easier ones. But no matter what, JG's levels always give me enjoyment, so I thank you.
