I would appreciate hearing about this. I may have to do a new build of the game using SDL rather than plain DirectX.
After an hour or two of playing around, everything's working well so far, except that neither game likes to be minimized in fullscreen mode. Just so you know, my graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4250 (built into the motherboard), and I'm running DirectX 11. I don't know about SDL, though.

icon Re: please help me with "running with scissors" (0)  
A few days now I try to solve the level running with scissors. I was proud having the idea to bring a safe in the last room and let the water disappear but one emerald is less.

I think I have to bring a pillow to the last room, but how? I have to chance the explotion in the first room to get the pillow through but how?

Please dont let me go crazy and help me. Thank you.

btw I have solved 6 level in the first row till now.

That one's been bugging me for a while now. How'd you do it? It's one of the few I haven't even unlocked.

8 level first row solved in hard mode.
That beats me; I've only managed 7. Good job!

Weaver and Pipe Mania strike me as reasonably easy. Combination Lock is rather nasty, though.

The trick to Play It By Ear is... well, why do you think the level is called Play It By Ear?

Yes Radiant, I think I should hear something which helps me, but I don't.

Pipe mania I tried so often, I pause the game and try to find out where to go - no, it is not easy (for me)

And weaver doesn't seem to be easy as well - you made it, it should be easy for you ;)

I will report, whats going on.

Yes, I can. I played SubTerra in my sleep for about three or four years. That's how I made most of my levels in the 2007 and 2008 contest sets.

I'll take that as a compliment. ;)

In the meantime, I've now done nine of the levels on hard mode. I finally figured out The Troll Bridge last night, and Minze gave me some hints for unlocking Running with Scissors; both turned out to be much easier than I thought.

I'm working on the rest, but there are three levels I can't seem to unlock:

Express Delivery - I unlocked it once, several years back, and have no idea how I did it.
Play it by Ear - I already know the "by ear" hint, but it just doesn't seem to want to unlock. This one too I unlocked only once.
Stars and Stripes - This one I never tried all that hard to unlock until now. From what I can guess, I need to block certain teleporters.

EDIT: Just figured out how to unlock Play it by Ear, and solved it.
