Mars Mission I

Bob loves stars. What could be more natural than to start into space. So he reports to the Mars mission.

      Is B supposed to go with the rocket? Half the time he does (fun effect!). But half the time the rocket leaves him behind, looking up into the sky...

      It would also be good, in your first comment, to thank @Denis Nazin for the rocket idea. (Especially because yours is almost identical to his.) Otherwise it looks like you are trying to take credit for the discoveries and work of someone else.

      @cimarronline :
      I didn't quite understand what you were trying to tell me.
      Just by the way, I showed Denis (@Denis Nazin) the level the day before. This teleport effect was unknown for me and he had previously explained to me what is necessary for a realization. I wanted to incorporate a rocket directly into the plot, so let Bob fly with it (not just decoration). I know Denis Level and he knows mine.
      I'm sorry that I'm not in my very best mood today (when you've been in the rehabilitation clinic for months and nothing gets better), but I'm slowly losing the urge to upload level here. Especially when the self-proclaimed sheriffs of the old team are always nagging because they think they've been around for a long time and have thus acquired the right to do so.
      If I had quietly "stolen" Denis' idea of the 7 sliders (which is also known to others) without him knowing ... but so...
      Anyway, I don't post anything here anymore and will preferably delete my levels here. Those who want to play my levels know the link to my Mekorama homepage. :(
    • cimarronline
      Yes, I can understand how you feel. Maybe wait a while before deleting anything? You might feel better later and wish you hadn't. I do wish you well in your rehab and hope you keep making levels.

      Here's what I meant about B:

      @cimarronline : Thanks for you wishes.
      To the rocket problem with Bob:
      You should first pull the rocket access bar away from it by hand and then launch the rocket. Else it hits back and forth uncontrollably and hit Bob down through the rocket.
      Then Bob stays in the missile. I wanted to give the rocket a hatch to close it, but then the slider technology no longer works. Even retaining bolts do not stop a rocket launch. Therefore, tilt the access bar - through which Bob enters the rocket - backwards, then launch the rocket and Bob flies away.

      Ich glaube, es ist sehr gut.
      The play is basic, but the concept and design of making the rocket lift off with B as astronaut to travel to the Star is good.
      The smoke and fire effect from the rocket engine is a nice touch.
    • BlueDragon
      @ArGee : thanks for comment and voting. :)
      The effect when the rocket is lifted off is actually the water effect of the Mekorama system, which, however, goes well with igniting the rocket.

      Friends. I am very sorry. I have no time at all now. I can't build, I can't play! ((But I found out about the situation of misunderstanding. And I realized that I needed to go in and explain.
      The blue dragon consulted with me and I know everything. You can all build rockets, planes, and more - which can disappear !! I WILL ONLY HAPPY IT !! I really wanted more people to know about this mekorama function, and to be able to use it on their levels! We should all think less about possessiveness. And all together, together, create and create in our favorite game!
      I really respect and admire the creativity of people on this forum! Let's respect, support and appreciate each other's creativity !!
      I hope the translation is correct)
    • Denis Nazin
      I wish the Blue Dragon a speedy recovery !!!!! And all health and goodness!
    • Denis Nazin
      Word - h-e-a-l-t-h, for some reason they hid the stars. Why? That's a good word!))
    • cimarronline
      @Denis Nazin "Let's respect, support and appreciate each other's creativity!!" Yes, I agree. That's why it's a good and common practice in the forum to thank other creators when we are inspired by their ideas and use them in our own levels. (For example, like I did here.)
    • BlueDragon
      @cimarronline :
      If you go to my homepage, you will see a section with my favorite levels of other players. All of them have been asked for permission by me. They are there with their name and their original description. I always mention other people's creations and ideas by their names. I was not aware that this also included more or less known basic (mal) functions of the Mekorama system. After all, the function is not a new idea, but a system component that is used to realize your own ideas. I really appreciate @Denis Nazin's work, but our two missile designs are very different in structure and purpose. Only the Mekorama system function is used similarly. Incidentally, I have a Studies section on my homepage, where everyone can learn about known mechanisms, etc. As a freeware programmer, I put a lot of software on the web that anyone can expand and change at will. Even if someone uses Linux and uses it to create something, he would have to list tons of programmer names to whom he owes his idea to be realized. Your comment still sounds like it was my duty to mention Denis. That struck me as too strange for the slider function. The slider function is very difficult. You have to experiment a lot, one element too many or in the wrong place and nothing works or it works differently than expected. Bob had to fly with the rocket and the rocket was supposed to start with a short touch. There are also options to let them start immediately at the start of the level without any action, or, as with Denis, to push them up a little and then let go. Letting Bob fly was also problematic. One stone too many or in the wrong place and Bob gets out or not at all.
      I uploaded the sequel today because I finished it yesterday.

      @BlueDragon
      Well, all my complaining (your words - I would call it constructive criticism) hasn't paid off.
    • BlueDragon
      @Meko Guy:
      I have always taken your constructive criticism into account. But you nag around at many and then rate poorly. If you do that with you, it doesn't suit you. It has to be complicated and tricky. Even if the level looks thrown together. That's not my style. If you find my levels so easy and bad, then don't play them. I always found your tips very helpful. As you can be sure, my mood has not improved today. If you don't know why, read the posts about it. :(
    • BlueDragon
      @cimarronline : To Bob who doesn't fly: You are right. In two cases from my tests Bob was sitting in the landing zone. Its difficult. Then Bob not exactly in the middle of the Rocket, he crashes through the Rocket and fall down to the bottom and the rocket disapears without him.
    • Meko Guy
      @BlueDragon - 'Complaining' now 'Nag' - I'll be sure to stop playing, commenting and rating your levels as I think they have been weak. Basically, I will be returning the favour since you are not P, C and R my levels.
