I did say you couldn't be sure mockball was intentional, but I ALSO said you couldn't be sure mockball was unintentional.  There's simply not enough evidence either way to say if mockball is If you asked me a year ago, I would have said 'Yes, mockball is an unintended glitch'. But since then, I've *accidently* made mockball impossible twice while programming various stuff (one of which took me a *long* time to track down how it fixed the mockball). There are several oddities required that exist in the Super Metroid game engine to allow the mockball. It's either a huge string of coincidences that allow the mockball, or an intentional oversight (with possibly a few intentional tweaks to insure it worked). Either one seems equally likely to me at this point. "I pretty much removed all the really annoying glitches" That's only your definition of annoying.  |

| hmm. I think I'll tackle #3, seeing as nobody else is.
Currently, it's unclear when the army has moved 40 miles: Is this the time it takes the rider to go from rear to front? Or is it the time it takes the rider to go from rear to front to rear? Assuming the first, this means that the rider is moving at twice the speed of the army. When returning, he will move through the army at a relative rate of 3 times as quickly as when he moved to the front of the army. This means 4/3 the time it takes the army to move 40 miles, at a rate of twice the army's speed, or 8/3 of 40 miles, or 320/3 miles. You said it's not rational though, so that's obviously not the right answer. So, the army moves 40 miles in the time it takes the rider to travel to the front and return to the rear. The rider moves 40 miles inherently because the army moved 40 miles. Then he made a round trip for the last part: The distance the army moved while the rider traveled to reach the front. The total distance is thus 40 + 2 * distance1. In the same time the army moves distance1, the rider moves 40 + distance1. Also, in the time the army moves 40 - distance1, the riders moves distance1. Divide the two equations and you get distance1 / (40 - distance1) = (40 + distance1) / distance1, or 2 * distance1 ^ 2 = 1600. Distance1 is thus 20 * sqrt(2) The total distance is then easily calculated as 40 (1 + sqrt (2)), or roughly 96.569 miles. |

| Bottom is row 1
Move dark blue triangle in row 4 right Swap light and dark triangles in row 2 Swap light and dark triangles in row 3 |

| I lost track of how many attempts ended up with 1 dark blue leftover. It was rarely the same dark blue, also.
Then I found a way to solve the puzzle in 4 moves. 
Move the highest light blue triangle left two Move either right start right one Swap bottom center light and dark triangles |

| Move the middle diamond left once
Swap the middle heart left once Swap the bottom heart left twice |

| Not especially simple? It was the first solution I tried.
Bottom row is row 1 Swap diamond and green on row 2 Swap green and star on row 3 Move green on row 5 right |

| Not copying ZM, no.
The 'UNKNOWN' item is simply an extremely secret item that has an effect when equipped, but it might take a while to notice it. It's the only new item I decided to show, because the rest all have names that are likely to give their function away. The rest... you'll have to wait till the hack is done. One of the main things about this hack is that I want the player to have little idea what to expect when going in.
The pic you see is a semi-mockup pic... it's an in-game pic, but the pause screen doesn't function correctly yet, but I'm getting close to finishing it. I'll hopefully be done tonight. and it just occured to me that I overlooked the perfect place to put in the TIME display code.
You won't see many pics from this hack before I release it though. I only decided to show this one because it shows new stuff without revealing anything. XD |

| For puzzle #20
Swap the bottom right diamond with the dark triangle to its left Move one of the top right greens to the right Swap the heart on the bottom with the dark triangle to the left Swap the middle star and the dark triangle to its right Swap the middle light triangle with the dark triangle to its right That one was fun. |

| Answer #1 (the one I prefer)
Move the middle dark blue (sandwiched between reds and purples) to the left, starting a chain reaction Move a purple above it to the right Move the green near the top to the left Answer #2 (the one that's legit) Move the left dark blue to the right Move a high diamond to the right Move the high green to the left Move the middle dark blue that's sandwiched to the right I found Answer #1 in about 5 minutes.. Answer #2 took me another 10. |

grrr... I've solved 22... but it uses lots of skill chains. And I can't think of any way to solve it *without* them.  |

| Finally cracked it
Swap the purple and green in the second row Swap the top two stars left Swap the bottom star left twice My chain skill method: Swap the purple and green in the second row Swap the yellow and red, starting the chain Move the red on top to the right one While the reds are clearing, move the top left purple to the right one Move the top light triangle to the right one It's the exact same chains, too. |

| Just give it to him, already. All you need to do to make his solution correct is painfully obvious.
I want more puzzles to solve. |

| I understand your rational, but I didn't even notice the error until you pointed it out (though I solved it myself before I looked at KATW's answer). There was no doubt (at least, to me) that KATW knew the answer when he posted. If there was a doubt *then* I'd be worried about you awarding points.
And I'm aparently not going to get many more points if I don't check the board more often. |

I hate to admit it... but I am totally and utterly stumped on puzzle 25 without the aid of skill chains.  |

Kejardon Shyguy Since: 05-21-06 Last post: 6294 days Last view: 6293 days |

| That means, the 2 moves I was *sure* had to be in the solution are in fact wrong.
Dang it. K, I solved it. Move the green out to the right, then swap it left twice (first with yellow, then with purple) Swap the bottom right green to the left twice, past the two light blues. *ker-tied* My uber impossible skill chain method: Swap the green and purple in row 5, then the green and light blue in row 3. Chain starts. When the blues clear, swap the purple on the right with the first star, as it's falling Move the top green to the left one When the red falls, move the far right green left one. |

| Wow, this one took me a long time to crack.
Swap red and yellow on top row Swap red and yellow on bottom row On the 4th row, swap the red right twice, past the green then yellow Swap the yellow (uh, LEFT yellow) and green in the second row My skill chain method (at this rate, I'm always going to have an alternate skill chain method. XD) Swap the left yellow and green in the second row Swap the red on the 4th row right twice Swap the yellow that was just swapped left again Move either yellow on the far right to the right Sadly, my skill chain method fails to get one long consecutive chain.
I figured out the normal method very quickly after the skill chain though. For once, my skill chain is at least somewhat similar to the legit answer. |

Originally posted by Leno_jr I work fine in a group.
Problem is, most of my skills work best alone... I could do a lot of work in figuring out how the rom works and explaining it (I'm getting *really* good at that), but other than that, I wouldn't be able to help code an editor. I can easily write plenty of asm code, but I think that's a fairly common skill around here anyways. And I'm not very good at commenting my assembly.  |

Originally posted by Riku you know, the Mafia hasn't killed anyone yet (at least, not directly). If anyone's really evil this game, it's all the bystanders. They're doing a much better job killing people than the Mafia. |
