Well, I got an Idea. Why not build a hold that is essentially a minigame arcade? And then I thought, Why not get some of the nice folks from the DROD forum to help out? So here it is. I'll be making a baseline hub level soon. (After I'm done with my work) I hope to get some voice acting, graphical arcade machines, graphical arcade game elements, and other such niceties by the time I'm done. Although, knowing me, I might only consider this done when I'm out of room to put new levels.

Overall Status: 1 game completed
Sokoban: Working on Sasquatch I, 20 levels converted

This seems a lot like my contest, "Technology". It had a few minigames as well as Chaco's "Drawing Machine and others.

Yeah, the technology contest was good. What I'm thinking of though, is like that, but larger, and more strict on the "game" thing. Make sense? Anyway, I'm not that good at building holds, but I can orchestrate this event. And plunk in my Sokoban Engine. If I can find it. And thanks for the voice acting offer. The main voice acting is directions for the games. As well as maybe some sound effects, if you want to do that too. Or anything else you can think of. I'm flexible.

I'd like to note that there's still the problem of the tunnel blocking mirror movement (but not player movement)

Instead, I think clever use of a clone and some doors should fix that.

Alright. Thanks. Do you think making the targets open doors, and the starting/resting spot of the clone plain floor would work?

Edit: I fixed it. I think. Thanks. And I came up with a rather ingenious solution to keeping you from cheating on the multi-door levels... I used Halph!

Nice. Your segment has been made official!

Edit: I just noticed a bugs in Sokoban: You can place the clone in the wrong spot. This has been solved by putting scrolls everywhere else. If you can think of a less annoying solution, tell me. Also, there is no need for a blank space where the clone starts, if anyone can figure out a non-destructive way to remove a clone.

This is how I make Sokoban puzzles. I made it easy, so I could get straight to the point.

Argh. That's a later version of DROD. Guess I'll have to upgrade before 3.1's finished.

Thanks. So preplace the clone and put a tunnel that acts as a force arrow and a mirror blocker somewhere reachable, but not in the pattern. That solves both problems... New version in a bit.

Once 3.1 is finished you can use a Wraithwing or Fegundo player role so that the puzzle finishes the minute you push the last mirror into the last spot, but until then you still need a tunnel location for the player (not a mirror) to go.

Nah. The player role isn't necessary, if everything I already have is necessary as well.

You use DROD. From the main menu, press Change Player, then Import, then find the file. Then it should be in your player list, and you can use it to edit The Arcade without copying it.

Also: why does your sig say there is one game? As far as I'm aware, there's DROD Chess and Sokoban.

One finished game. Sokoban isn't done yet. Maybe it should say 2...
