It seems so!

Just make sure you import and use the player I posted on the 2nd page, at least to build the room (that way, there's no need to make copies of the hold, and all progress for everyone is maintained).

Edit: Also, in case you haven't read, you will need to change the movement keys for that player if you want to playtest (unless, of course, you want to use the keys I use... :)).

It might have to wait until tomorrow, is that okay? I'm way too tired to make a room today. I started, but didn't finish. Sorry. :~(

Ok, this time I beat it in game, rather than in the editor, so I now have a demo. And what's more, this time I had 14 moves to spare, so I probably could take 20 squares off the fuse... :)

Edit: I've also solved the problem of not being able to complete the room in less than 197 moves, even if the eyes are killed and the player gets back to the exit first. However, I think I'll have to wait until UrAvgAzn posts his room first so there's no problems. And my soultion to this problem is a little sloppy, so if someone has a fantastic idea, I'm open to suggestions...!

Oh man, Kevin. That room...

That room brought back some really awful memories of JtRH level 22. :-O

Somehow, I can do tar and mud efficiency rooms. I can do roach efficiency rooms. I can do efficiency rooms of any other kind... but I can't do eye efficiency rooms.

I think just UrAvgAzn is signed up. You can be after him.

Indeed - it took me several tries to finish in time. You need to wake up the eyes fast enough to finish on time, but not too fast that they overwhelm you. However, I did add about 40 squares to the fuse from how I first had it! :)

How close have you gotten? After about 3 or 4 tries with the fuse the current length, I was about 10 moves short, so I decided to keep trying rather than make it longer.

Then maybe I should post the new version of my room - I only added checkpoints, and a way to allow you to exit in less than 197 moves (and, along with that, the exit is now 2 squares to the right of where the entrance is, which could make it just a little bit easier... :)).

I actually didn't skip my turn, I just said it had to wait until tomorrow (which I believe was yesterday, but I had no DRODing time). And my other excuse is that I had Overnight Training at the Tae Kwon Do Center (I fell asleep at 2 AM because some weirdo threw a pillow at me). I had a really good idea that turned out to be rubbish because I'm a scripting failure. Well, I'll post my room in a bit. Sorry for the confusion.

Keep posting,

And, of course, as soon as you update the room, I immediately solve the old version, and with several, several moves to spare too :)

I think the best I've done is 14 moves to spare. But I don't think it should be only possible to beat it with 1 move to spare or anything... :). About how many moves did you have to spare?

The new version is no different, really. Just the changes I mentioned above (it is now possible to beat it in less than 197 moves, and there are now four checkpoints).

Edit: Nope, I guess I had 17 moves to spare - the last time I beat it was 180 moves.

I quite liked the room! It was very original and fun. It wasn't very hard, but that's ok :)

If you did want to make it harder, I would definitely add more of those death tiles in the bottom left, and more mimics in the bottom right (ideally in every row, if it's still possible to complete like that).

Alright, I beat your room UrAvgAzn. Nice room!

Kevin, my highscore (just now) is 182 moves. :)

Well, I guess I'll get started.

I am going to go out on a limb here, and assume that your room was at one point going to be 2S1E? :)

(Or is there another reason why there are several walls missing from my 1S1E room...?)

Edit: And also that there's an extra floor tile in 1S2E, specifically at (0, 22).

Screw it. I finished the room in time. The tar part is based on larrymurk's mgic show room, but easier.
