They >are underneath too many boulders, and I keep getting "squished"! OK, I think its about time to reply to this and all the other comments. Firstly, there are a multitude of bugs in the code, some small, some horrendously vast. Thanks to play@cwi.nl, whoever (s)he may be, the game has been fixed and vastly improved. A new version will be posted (hopefully) in August. Also I am collecting new screens to include in a screen package I intend to post with the new version. If anyone out the has designed any new screens then mail them to csupt@uk.ac.warwick.cu to be added to the file. Thanksfor any I recieve. Secondly, the comments Ive been receiving about 'impossible screens' - ignoring programming errors, like the appearing boulder, all screens are possible. On our system the boulder error doesnt show up, and I have personally completed ALL the screens (except the last (13th)). The screens were desgned mostly by me, although 6 was created by James Beckett and 9 and 13 by Kenton Oatley. Screen 11 was a joke and never really intended for publcation - it was caught up in the shar by mistake! A couple of the others are partly unfinished, and should be completed when the extended screen package is posted. Finally, screens 2: The problem being referred to was initially conceived by James. The way to get past it involves (spoiler) placing something against the column of boulders to stop it collapsing sideways. Then you can push the bottom one away and get out. Good luck, and dont forget to send me some screens! -Steven -------------------------------------------------------------------------- maujp@uk.ac.warwick.cu (for a while) csupt@uk.ac.warwick.cu (the best bet) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include
