Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  @nelson90: I would like to make a change for "Blue-Red Crystal". Could you change the name to "BR Crystal". Thanks.

  Wow, we just made it over the 14,000 mark. It's quite impressive that Blockoban has come this far. A remarkable milestone for this game and of course BL. I appreciate all the work JP has done to make this possible. Hope you all have a safe weekend. And enjoy life out there.

  @John: your level Middle Red 2 (BLockoban) is very nice and tricky. I didn't reset the scores since 17 is still possible.

  @nelson90: I edited one of my old levels from 3 years ago, around early 2023 I believe. I fixed the thumbnail and it's ready to be accepted. Give me feedback on how it is. Thank you.

John

  Well done John! And thanks for the challenges.

I found another magic trick and got 11 in Dog Bone 30 (BLockoban).

Level White Sheep 7 (BLockoban) was far to be optimized. Now beat 17 :)

  Wow, I got 12 in "Dog Bone 30". How did that happen? I found the magic trick. @nelson90: I beat your score.

EDIT: I also beat your score in, "White Sheep 7". By one move. I wonder if I can find another highscore somewhere?

  Nice job and welcome to the game. I hope you have fun and finish as many levels as you can. You'll feel proud and good the more officials you beat. And even better by getting as many low scores as possible.

  Completed all the kids official levels within an hour. They are very useful for learning the game. Trust me, they will guide you for solving the tougher levels.

  I matched the highscore of 18 in Chris's "Coke Can 16" level. @nelson90: What did you think of that level. I just stared at it for 10 minutes and just started randomly moving blocks, and then somehow I ended up finding the correct path to the HS. I don't think 17 is possible.

  Colors Challenge 479 will be a harder modified version of Camodragoon's level, "Paper Lantern." I think it might be fun doing flashback or harder versions of old levels from Blockoban's long list of community members. Happy Thursday.

July 16th

I'm not copying any levels, just making modified or more difficult versions.

  @nelson90: Just sent you that email, let me know if you got it. Have a great week. It's been really hot the past month.

  Indeed Chris, I changed "RG Tree II" to "RG Tree 3".

  @nelson90: could you do me a favor? I just noticed in one of my level series, "RG Tree" has two levels with similar syntax. Can you change "RG Tree II" to "RG Tree 3" please? Thanks, and I sent you another email. Let me know if you got it. Have a great day, July 4th is on Saturday.

Hey, I'll send it this weekend. I'm tired, it's bill week here in Roxboro, NC.

  @Chris: I reset the scores of level Tri-Color Lvl 3-6 (BLockoban) because my score was no longer possible after your update.

  Over 6,000 levels solved. I'm really proud of myself for putting all the hard work in the last 3 and a half years. It's been a long journey and Blockoban adventure.

  Yes, I just fixed my level now. Added 3 more white blocks. I apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused.

  @john96: did you try to solve your level White Beam 7 (BLockoban)?

  @nelson90: I added a red block and retook the thumbnail. So, it's ready to be accepted now when you have time.

  @Chris: did you try to solve level ColorsChallenge 456G (BLockoban)? 1 red is missing.

  Oops, sorry. I'll get on it now. I'll let you know when I'm done.

EDIT: ok, I added 3 icy pinks and solved the level to make sure it was possible. It's ready now.

  @Chris: please fix your level Colors Challenge 449 (BLockoban) (2 pinks missing).

  I realized that the image resolution/bitmap used for thumbnails in Ruffle and Puffin is different.

  Good Paradigm: Now that Ruffle(JS) is equipped with an Android hardware keyboard and Flash interaction that were absent in Puffin, square holding is now possible with Shift!
A few glitch issues caused by ruffles can be overlooked.




@gis kept three of my posts de-emerging because they were being used like spam, but I intend to use one post to showcase gray levels that are not spam in the future. I will tell him to restore the post `About "Return Mod plex" with mys` and rename it `Rainbow Cast`, or to change the name of my post `Story works that everyone makes as writer` if no more storytellers come to write there. Starting with the hexagon array(nmt,jm), I'm going to spam on "The topic where you can only post the most random things you can think of that doesn't make sense..." or "Offtopic post".
Rainbow Cast is absolutely not for spam.

  Wow, I just solved my 2000th level not long ago. What an accomplishment that was. Now I have 3000 more to solve before I get that Mile High award. I might not be done until the end of this year or into 2027. We'll see how fast I can get there. Happy Tuesday everyone!

And thanks JP for adding Ruffle in the mix. Now we don't have to use Pale Moon so often now. I'm sure some old time members will get a shock and surprise that Ruffle is finally here!

  Maybe Syco will come back and continue his Vector series, his last visit here was 2 weeks ago. So he's still checking up on this site. Ruffle is awesome!

  Thanks Nelson, I just checked it out. The flash browser is faster than the ruffle emulation on a standard browser.
I'm keeping it even if blockoban is the only page I use it .

  I used Puffin, but now that I'm using the Chrome app, Ruffle is faster than this. nice job on jp

  @john96: you don't have to install anything, the Ruffle emulator is already installed on the BL site. It means that you only have to start your browser (Edge, Chrome, ...) and open the BL page. Everything should work as in the past, excepted some bugs already existing with Pale Moon and maybe before.

@patio09: it's still impossible to comment on newer levels. Before, when a level was not commented, it was written "No messages.", now it is written "Unknown subject ()!". This bug is really annoying, because comments related to a level will be spread in the BB forum and it will be impossible to find then after a while.
There are other problems:
- The same problem affects the inbox of new members like john96 and PuzzleFan, they don't accept PMs and the inbox shows the same error message.
- For a recently created level pack or forum, it is impossible to post a comment (same error). Above the comment window, it is written "Field 'cacheedited' doesn't have a default value". Because of that problem, there is no interest to create a new pack because nobody will be able to post a comment on it.

  @patio09: I'm not sure why but I think that BL can no longer create new forums, therefore no new comment threads and so we cannot comment on new levels. I don't exactly know if that will get resolved, or even if JP can fix that.

  Where can you install this Ruffle emulator? I'm curious as to if it's better than the Pale Moon application.
