Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  I am also very impressed with the quality of gundu's levels today. Nice job buddy!

  I have to confess smth to PA and Gundu. I have been playing and enjoying lots of PA's games lately and i thought I could tell beforehand if a level is designed by PA or not (same applies to OMG's and Murat's levels). The late Gundu's levels have really troubled me in that I thought all of them were PA's. I would bet they came from the same person. Well designed, groups all over, tricky moves, hard to optimize and very well thought levels. In other words my respects to both of you for providing us new, fresh challenges and sorry apologies for the mistake.

  @rob: That's probably some kind of a syndrom, 'cause I feel just the same!

  I don't know how it is for the others. But inside me is a little evil man screaming: "Complete! Complete! Complete! ...and go for the top-score!"

  No one is asking you guys to complete them all =]

  Thanks Elizea, even though you just give us a lot more work (some of it VERY VERY boring!) But we like problemsolving, even on crappy levels!

  Adding all rejected levels on the rejected levels pack. Won't take very long (there are already nearly 100 new ones waiting for you guys!).

edit: all 300 rejected BB levels are there now, enjoy =]

  i'll get first place back, don't worry

  just played like 40 rejected levels, ELIZEA WHAT WERE U THINKING GIVING ME ALL THOSE AT ONCE, you kept me up late hahahahahah

  Here are some rejected levels for you guys to play =]

  Good call elizea I will do that in the future, I wanted to send you a note about one of my levels that I just took the idea for it from a discussion between gameinsky toughman and myself

  Let's end this here.

Thank you.

  Nope there isn't, only way is to send a message on admins inbox...

  Is there anyway we can post on our own levels before admins look at them to leave the admin a note or something like that?

  Thnx J. Trying hard to design levels just for you guys (especially nelson lately) to sweep them and having me sweating to reach your scores...hehe. As long as you guys are happy I will keep designing. For the newcomers allow me to say that I always value comments more than unjustified good or bad rating and I would really appreciate and welcome all kind of comments (especially bad ones).

In a few words please comment at least for a bad critic spare some time to write it down. It makes me better and therefore improves the game.

Thnx for the good pass J.

  props to toughman for outstanding levels (AGAIN) these past few days.

  I think i worry too much about the level ratings. Maybe i should take a break from making levels.

  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.
