Your answer couldn't be more wrong. The tutorial by Trids is just that: a tutorial (not a level) that explains what was already showcased before. If you read the comments, people even stated "Nice tutorial (although I already knew the tricks)!"

The first use of a form of Autopilot **on this forum** I think was back in July 2016 by @richardfu_ and his Ramp Climbing level: https://mekoramaforum.com/media/ramp-climbing.2730/

The reason I say "a form of" is because exploiting the path completion algorithm (collectively known as Autopilot) has many variations such as the Hercules trick, the Run Around trick, the Rug Pulled Out trick, etc. Documentation of all this was started in the Advanced Level Design document: https://mekoramaforum.com/threads/everything-you-have-always-wanted-to-know-about-mekorama.287/#post-2497

Well I thought the same thing

Thanks for the publicity, @Master Author, but that tutorial was about promoting and publicising a trick that was not mine. I didn't know who discovered it, but there was resistance at the time to exploits that some called "cheats" .. and i started my tutorials to explain them and take the "voodoo" out of what we accept today as advanced techniques. None of which were discovered by me, i was just a promoter :p
