I just had an interesting thought... I wonder if I am being elitist or if its a good idea. What if we as a community had a rule as follows:

Easy levels must be able to be solved in under 36 moves, and medium levels 72 moves. The purpose being that an if a level is easy there really aren't more then 10 or so moves where you are actually thinking... so there should be a limit to the tediousness.

@oldmanrob It is really hard or even impossible to slide the cursor to page two. But if you click to the right of it it will step one page at a time. Done

Ferrari12 12 years ago

You don't have to drag the page selector, if you click to the right/left of it, it will automatically move on page to the right/left :)

oldmanrob 12 years ago

Maybe it's just me or my mouse but i can't move to page 2 at newly commented levels. The space i have to move is too slight. :(

Hey Guys! Sorry about not making some levels recently... I have just started Secondary School and times are getting a tiny bit tougher...

oldmtnguy 12 years ago

Congratulations. You have submitted some great designs lately.

I've just returned after a week and a half and seen the big controversy around Obscurity, and I guess it's time I put my two cents in the machine. :P

I'm not complaining. Just trying to answer the question asked.

oldmanrob 12 years ago

Imo we should stop complaining about the category chosen by the creator. With one ecception, if a lavel labled "kids" seams too hard for kids we shluld ask the creator if he/she is sure about his/hers chose.

Jyxz, I catorgize my levels based on how I perceive it compared to other similar levels. A large part is also based on the type of level. To me anything that I create that resembles the type of level I have trouble solving gets a higher difficulty. The ones that are the same old same old get an easier designation.
So, all that said, deciding the difficultly of a level you have created is based on your perception of that type of level, the comparison to similar levels created by others, and how you have improved the style.
Set a difficulty to how it feels best to you. If nothing else others will tell you their opinion and you can judge from there.

gameinsky 12 years ago

Based on all levels.
(Blockobaneers are better at solving puzzles than average people)

Jyxz 12 years ago

When deciding what difficulty a level is should it be based on all levels or just your own?

chris3000 12 years ago

3620 levels solved!

oldmtnguy 12 years ago

AK you don't need to be sorry about adding the frames. Designing levels is a learning process for all of us. Thanks for taking the criticism constructively, because that's the way it was intended. And don't worry about it because you're doing a fine job.

AK 12 years ago

Dear admins:

Sorry about adding colorful frames to all my levels. I really thought that adding some color would make the levels better.

I removed the frames on all the maze levels. I won't add any more frames to any more of my levels then. Thanks!

Treazer 12 years ago

COngratulations :D

oldmanrob 12 years ago

4000 solved. :)

edit: that is the good news. the bad is i have still 593 to do.

I think it is wonderful, that there are so many new young designers. Creating some really great levels along side of the truly classic level creators. I love the positive attitude that is exhibited for the most part by most of them. Positive/constructive comments will always be the best. Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged by the few negative people out there.

A few months ago Camo designed several kids levels as a teaching tool for his younger sibling which showcased many tricks and techniques.

manufan 12 years ago

Hi Mo! Not seen you at all really! How about some of us could make a few levels to encourage and entice the younger designers to use some new techniques and tricks they learn. That is why I have good levels.

@Jos: I definately agree OMG does a great job of doing that when a level is rejected. He explains why it is that way and what you could've done better.

Mo 12 years ago

I just wanted to add some encouragement for all you guys, even though I don't have the time with family and work commitments to get on as much or create levels as before. If I may speak for some of the older players here, we are really proud to see so many extremely bright young people creating, sharing ideas and engaging their brains. It gives me hope for the future!

Also, remember that there are always going to be a few negative people wherever you go, in real life and especially online where greifers can hide behind their anonymity. No one who counts will think any less of you if you just ignore them completely since they really are not worth your time to reply or argue with them. Stay positive and just have fun!

Jos 12 years ago

About the discussion, I want to say the next thing: you can give positive and negative comments as much as you want, but only if you think about the age of the editor, you express a negative comment as carefully as possible and if you are constructive, or better sad: if you give alternatives.

manufan 12 years ago

Exactly GIS, Exactly. Us Kids are minors in the real world but shouldn't be insulted either!

gameinsky 12 years ago

Lol Jos, blockoban is THE place to get inspiration from in bonuslevel xD
Oh and welcome back !
oh also, just to let you know, the average age of BL admins is 17!
(if you exclude OMG, 16)(this is the expected average, I'll calculate the real average)
[edit] after calculations the number seems a bit higher: 23 (20 without counting OMG)

Infact I'm not whining, you feel like it is whining, but I wasn't whining. I was just saying that people would appreciate it more if you could say it on a friendly tone :). But I'll leave that as your decision. But IMO you should respect everyone, and not look down upon someone because he is not yet an adult.
