Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  I am not the best level creator but if any new creators are wondering what makes a level good I want to share my thought process when creating a level.

For every tile set size increase past 10x10: -1 point
For every tile set size increase past recommended: -2
For every block used past 4: -1
For every bind block (so they move together): -4
For every vulnerability (something in your level which if the player doesnt pay attention to he won't be able to solve it): +2
For common tricks like needing a block to stop another block on a target: +1 point
For every rarely seen TRICK it takes to solve a level: +20
For a new trick never seen before in blockoban: +250

I am not sure if these will help or not but just some things to keep in mind when your creating, don't worry about point values but just think, ok if I add 10 blocks here am I adding enough to the level to justify it? Or I know I can make my levels hard by attaching all the blocks but am I adding enough tricks to justify their usage?

  Most pro and old BL members have a good password, Mrmellons hacks by guessing password.
But he told he stopped, I belive he really did because no users have been hacked after he stopped.
And about hacking, the same things could happen to admins too, so why only saying that bout trusted users ?
I's not a big deal if users mess up with their levelpacks or such, levels can simply be deleted or fixed.
The situation is much more dangerous with admins.

  Let's see... if Mrmelons22 made a successful attempt to hack a user who was trusted, he would most likely edit his levels and change the title to somewhat disruptive, or, add info bubbles that says something bad. I forgot, he was banished from BonusLevel, or not. Let's see if we can avoid the new hacker from the future...

Elizea can only add trusted ones that were very poilite to BonusLevel. Some are unaccepted because in this game, someone tries to edit their levels so that it would have a chance for treating the level to be impossible, or to cheat the scores.

  Garygoh, when I added the Trusted Members in Jump Gear, I added them because I was sure they would only make their levels better, and not worse.

  Once lost, it will be very hard to reachieve. But there are no useful limitations to situations like that.

  I am sure all trusted members are trusted, that's why they ere created too.
Admins will never add people that will make their level worse, and who would want to do that into the first place ?

  If a trusted member do something bad by editing his own levels, even when he change to something, disruptive, Elizea will remove it from the list, but will he limit him?

  However Trusted members is a little underpowered, it wasn't mean for that.
It was meant to make them accept their own levels thus giving admins less work.

  Chris, you become a trusted member if your levels are good and when you edit them, you won't make them worse.

  Chris, two things. Firstly, such a member can only edit his own levels not other ppl ones and most importantly I believe he is considered as 'trusted' for that reason only. To act in good will and faith and not cause anarchy. As for your unfinished ones I am available to give some tips, if you want me to.

  So let me get this straight, a trusted member can edit anyone's level including their's, right? If that's so then maybe someone can work with me on my un-finished levels. Maybe one day when you guys aren't on here i'll try to steal all the highscores.

  yup, do you already have checked my pack: Simon's Pack
how you do that just like levels?

  They excellent machines who have a big brain who is on "highscore-solve" modus.

  Yeah, BB designers are machines. One reason might be that it takes less time to do a good BB level than for example JG2 or RT level =].

  WOW, the designers are machines or something.
They make so much levels.

  AK just start cruising thru the easy and kid official levels, you will learn tricks that you need to even start thinking about the harder levels.

  I am one of the worst players in this game..... I need help...

  Oh, remember was an unintended pun.
I am not such a Tough Man as you, and is you capital "i" missing from your keyboard â„¢-guy ?

  As oppose to other members?...lol

I know what what you mean GiS. Was never my intention. If you feel this has happened during my membership, all i can say is that sometimes I may be TOUGH (with my flaws and ups and downs) but I'm always a MAN (aplogizing when I'm wrong and forgiving when i'm right).

  Thoughman, and remember! We do not eat members of the family!

  Thank you Elizea for including me on your list of trusted members. This is a great community. I'm proud to be a part of it and hope that we can all continue to improve and excel.

  LOL J. That was a good one!!

  paulo if u make streets of colors ezier when no one is looking i wont tell anyone!

(this is a joke btw)

  Thanks for making me a trusted member, Elizea.

  Trust gained in the nearly two years of BonusLevel. Thank you. I feel a highly respected member.

  I know El. I was just kidding around.

It can be very helpful if you want to improve some things in a particular level or even make more significant changes based on other's ppl comments, vote and views. Following this small step towards improvement it becomes more necessary for players to comment on games mainly pinpointing flaws.

  Well it can be mostly used to fix some minor things in your levels :)

  1) Thank you Elizea. It means a lot to be considered 'trusted' but means more to be a member.
2) This BB generation will not fail you...hehe

3) I would prefer yellow T to be TM [ToughMan or Trusted Member]...hehe

4) Now I can go and Edit ALL my official ones.....Promise won't take long.....lol [I am only kidding El]

  Also note their icon is a yellow T, if you don't know what that means, now you know.

  Added few 'trusted' members, who from now can edit their own accepted levels.
