Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  @nelson90, it took me two hours, but I matched your score in, "Four Color Infusion."

You guys should try for the 41 solution, it is sneaky to find but after a few trial and errors, you should get it.

I do not think 40 is possible...unless someone can prove me wrong on my theory.

  I got the 3,777th post here. That means I'm lucky.

  We haven't quite made it yet though right? It's a monumental occasion in any case and I wonder if any game will reach 2^21. Jump Gear 2 is closest but I think it's too far away in general.

  happy 2 to the power 20 plays, Yay!

  Good morning @nelson90: I just fixed and added three more blue blocks to my "Ancient Colors 20B" level, I solved it with 87 moves. I'll try to pay more attention next time.

  1,195 levels left to solve!! I wonder how far I can go here?

  Thank you Simon for the challenge. Beating 39? Of course! And what do you think of 35? :)

  Try to beat 39 :)

  Good luck John!

  @John: nice score at level Pink B (BLockoban). Now, beat 41 :)

  I just saw it myself. That's going to be a hard one to beat, unless someone can get 47 or less. We will see, there maybe a possibility of someone beating your score/method.

  Sorry for double-post, but I just discovered a super HS in "Pink B". Got a new solution of 48...

@nelson90: I beat you...

  I am hoping to solve 5000 levels before the year ends. I need to keep it at a steady pace though. We need to be thankful for what we have here. A nice dependable admin and a small supportive network of people from around the globe. Happy April Fool's day too. Chris has really contributed to the game a lot the past 3 years, and so have you guys.

  Following a request from Chris, I changed the name of his levels "Blue and Green (1 to 7)" to "Blue-Green (1 to 7)".

  Hey nelson90, I corrected my "Ancient Colors 14" level, sorry again. I've been worried about me and my mom's health and she had her third round of chemotherapy yesterday at 9am, and lasted 6-7 hours. She had a severe reaction to the IV and they had to give her some minerals to help get her stabilized to where she could talk and move around.

  Don't be sorry Chris! Thanks for fixing your level, it is accepted now.

  Sorry nelson90, I'll fix my level now. I just read your PM. Thanks for the heads-up.

  @John: work done! Now, you have to beat 41 :)

edit: and now 36 :D

  @nelson90: You have some work to do in the level, "Red Tetris I", after 30 minutes I was able to optimize and discover a new solution, 42. See if you can match it or maybe get a better score. That was a random moment, didn't think I had it in me.

  I wonder when TM will be defeated, I predict that either nelson90 or suhangha will reign first place. The question is when and how.

  3333 levels solved, I'm barreling my way towards the 5000 mark! Hopefully by April or May I'll reach this goal. Wish me the best, positive energy.

  @nelson90: Also I noticed when I was playing Chris's, Lemonade 3 level, you had not scored on it. It doesn't look really hard.

  Well done, John! It's always difficult to know when you have reached the optimum score. I have tried again those levels and effectively they were not fully optimized. Now, it's your turn to play :)

  This is a rarity. I got two highscores, one in "RB Crate 3" and the other, "Red-White 46A." I'm speechless and shocked, I took 2 of Nelson's highscores.

@nelson90: I'll fix my Hospital 2 level asap. I keep seeing it in my "Levels you need to edit" bar thing.

  Yes, that's fine Nelson. You can change the name to "Snow Colors 29."

Let me know when you do, thank you. We will keep you all posted on how my mom is doing. She's having chemotherapy now, it's a 5-6 hour process. She has to bring snacks and drinks too.

  Thanks John, I had not noticed that mistake. I know Chris is affected by his mother’s health issues. Btw, all my best wishes for your mother Chris, I hope she’ll get better soon.

Regarding level "Snow Colors 29C": since Chris submitted today a level named "Snow Colors 30" (still to be evaluated), I would suggest to rename it "Snow Colors 29" instead of "29C". Chris, if you agree, I will do it for you.

You are right, level "White Cybes" was misspelled (Simon had already noticed it 6 years ago). The title is corrected now.

  @nelson90: Hey I just noticed on the main BL page that Chris accidentily titled his last published level, "Snow Colors 29C."

I think he meant, "Snow Colors 28C." You might want to fix that. And also, an old level from several years back. He misspelled White Cubes. It's titled White Cybes. I'll post on it. Let me know if you read this.

  Welcome back pig to making Blockoban levels. I'm interested to see what beautiful creations you have in store for us, hope you are having a great 2025 so far. Take care. I gotta try them tonight.

Would you like to be a part of Simon's global tournament pack? You'll find it on the bottom of his page.

  Hey John! Thank you for pointing this out, I forgot to solve this nice level. Excellent design and many possibilities for optimization. After many attempts, I finally got 34 :) Indeed a great 5/5!

  Hey @nelson90: I was going through some old levels from 2022 and noticed you did not score on, "Blue Spiral" yet, give it a go and see if you can get a 36 score or better. The design is still remarkable to me, took 3-4 hours making it.
