Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  Thanks Chris, I changed the titles of your 3 levels to "Blue Latin Cross 1-3".

Meanwhile, I discovered that the same problem was happening for the "Red Cross" series:
- Chris: "A Red Cross", "Red Cross I" and "Red Cross II".
- John: "Red Cross " and "Red Cross 2", with again an extra space for "Red Cross "
- OMG: "Red Cross".
I will rename your levels "Red Latin Cross 1-3" and John's level "Red Cross 1".

It is the same for "Yellow Cross":
- Chris: "Yellow Cross"
- John: ""Yellow Cross"", ""Yellow Cross" 2" and "Yellow Cross 3"
I will rename your level "Yellow Latin Cross" and John's levels "Yellow Cross 1-3".

  Ok, that's a better idea. Can you change them according to what titles you think are proper?

  Chris, I don't think that re-creating the 3 levels is a good idea. All of them are nice and the 2 crosses don't have the same shape at all. Yours is a Latin cross representing the cross of Jesus, while that of John is a Greek cross.

I think it would be better to keep the levels and to only change the titles of some of them. I will do it if you agree.

  What I may have to do is make 3 fresh levels and choose different titles, because I didn't know John was going to make a Blue Cross series as well. It's okay. Just mark them to be edited and I'll change them to something else and re-create the levels.

  @Chris: following your request, I changed the title of level "Green-Red Cliffs" to "GR Cliffs".

@Chris and John: I noticed that you both created a "Blue Cross" series.

- Chris: "Blue Cross", "Blue Cross I" and "Blue Cross II".
- John: "Blue Cross ", "Blue Cross 2", "Blue Cross 3", "Blue Cross 4", "Blue Cross 5" and "Blue Cross 6".

Note that there are 2 levels with almost the same title, "Blue Cross" and "Blue Cross ". Normally, it is not possible to create two levels with the same name. In that case, there is an extra space at the end of "Blue Cross ".

Now the question is: do we do something (and what) to fix it or we leave the titles as they are? What do you think?

  Wow, hard to believe I only have 4 officials left. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get the Archery Master award. It's been a long journey with BL and Blockoban and I'm glad to be a part of it.

  @John: thanks for bringing this to my attention, I hadn’t noticed it. White Spoon 2 (BLockoban) is accepted now.

  @nelson90: I just realized something. I did not make the level "White Spoon 2". I did a search in the search levels box and White Spoon and White Spoon 3 came up but not White Spoon 2. I will submit my level shortly. Look out for it.

  Ok, sorry. I overlooked it. I'll fix it now.

EDIT: Done, I changed it to Green Diamond 6.

  I don't understand what you are saying about Green Diamond (BLockoban), I just checked it and you are the creator of this level. Another member (ThisIsMyUserName) created Small Green Diamond (BLockoban). No need then to create a new "Green Diamond 1", please rename it "Green Diamond 6".

  Thank you, and just noticed something else. I did not create "Green Diamond", but I saw the titles "Green Diamond 2" and "Green Diamond 3". So I have to correct this now. Since "Green Diamond" is already taken by another member, I'll have to use "Green Diamond 1".

  @Chris: I have changed the titles of several levels in accordance with your wishes.

  Wow, all it took was one try for me to match nelson90's score in GY Ice 31A. A clever level with a deceptive concept. Got the secret method by sheer luck.

  @nelson90: Hi, would you mind doing me a couple favors? I posted on the recent levels and sent you a private message. Let me know if you got it.

  @patio09: Okay, I understand. It can be difficult memorizing solutions of old levels from over a decade ago.

  Sorry Chris3000 I can't remember levels I've solved 10-15 years ago.

  @patio09: did you get my PM a while back? Just checking. There's some annoying levels that have had me staring at the monitor for at least 2 hours at a time.

  Ok, thank you. I appreciate it a lot.

  Well done PuzzleFan! Now, try to match my new highscore (5) :)

@Chris: following your request, I changed the title of level "Pink-Red Ruins" to "PR Ruins 1".

  Nice small achievement man, well done.

  Wow. Like nelson90, I just discovered the famous 8 solution in, Blue Seagull 8. Can you guys match our score? It's not too hard to find. Just stare at it for a few minutes and think and ask, "How would I solve this in 8 moves?"

  @suhangha: I sent you another PM. Please look at it when you have time.

  Nice progress PF!

  26 is possible in Red Hook 3 :)

edit: and even 25!

  Also got the highscore like Nelson did in Red Hook 3. 27

I wonder if 25 or 26 are possible solutions?

  Forgot to mention, just got the HS of 41 in Pink Cube 10 after 2 tries, is 39 or 40 possible? It might be based on the number of pink blocks and how they are positioned.

  Yay, we finally made it to 2026! Hope y'all are staying safe and eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of water. Don't get de-hydrated.

  Hi mate, how have you been doing lately? I sent you a couple PM's a few months ago. Still having trouble on some of your tough puzzles. Yes, BL is a nostalgic site that will always remain alive in my eyes. Happy 2026 guys, feeling good?

  Glad to see this nostalgic game is still up and familiar faces wow

  @pig: I sent you a private message about one of your hard levels. Check it asap please. Thank you.
