Furthermore, it would be nice if you could make it so that if we click on an unwalkable target, the game is intelligent about guessing where we really wanted to click.
Also, can anoyone explain to me why it makes sense that mouse movement is much faster than keyboard movement? I just don't see it. "It's more challenging this way" is not a very good answer.
There is a delay in the keyboard movement in order to make it possible to change Peter's facing (look into another direction) without actually walking. When Peter is looking to the left and you press right, Peter will turn right immediately, but you need to _hold_ the button for more than 1 frame in order to walk to that direction. In mouse movement, there's no need for those delays.
This is necessary when turning towards a box without moving it (so that you can kick it instead). However, if there's no box at the direction where you turn the delay doesn't really make sense.
By the way, isn't it interesting how much competition can reduce the time of a level like this? The current record is already more than one minute faster than your original record... I wonder how many of the other levels could be equivalently reduced...
Wanted: An animated GIF (four of them for four directions) for the kicking action.
How do you do that? I can perform some initial moves with the mouse, but this is only after practicing and memorizing the clicking places ("first I click here, press right, then here, press right, then here, press left..." and so on). If I try to use the mouse on the fly, without having memorized the clicking places I get almost immediately confused and get pauses while searching the correct place, click on wrong places etc etc.
Could someone explain me how do you manage to use the mouse for everything in long levels? For example, in the 6-2 level you used 521 steps, 155 pushes, 16 kicks and 171 block moves, while I used only 511 steps, 153 pushes, 16 kicks and 169 block moves. Clearly my path is shorter than yours, yet you still beat my time by almost 5 seconds simply because you used the mouse for everything. How do you do that? I can perform some initial moves with the mouse, but this is only after practicing and memorizing the clicking places ("first I click here, press right, then here, press right, then here, press left..." and so on). If I try to use the mouse on the fly, without having memorized the clicking places I get almost immediately confused and get pauses while searching the correct place, click on wrong places etc etc. So, how do you do it? I don't get it. It's a bit frustrating. No matter how much I optimize my routes and how many times I start over because of a tiny 0.1 seconds mistake in order to get a flawless run, someone will easily beat my time with a worse path by simply using the mouse for everything, something which I can't do myself. Edit: I just tried 6-2 with mouse only and after about the 100th attempt I succeeded in performing to the end without bigger flaws. OTOH this level is unusually easy because most movement is just pushing one box long distances around...
WOW! Love the new mousing "guess where you probably meant to click" AI.
Samurai Phil: I came up with a new strat on 2-2 you can steal. I purposefully left in a frame of error so that you can improve upon my time without having to do any actual thinking of your own.
Also Goroh, I haven't even noticed your PM, sorry. I answered it now.
