    I wish there was a way to show if a level needs tricks or not. I try to avoid levels with tricks as I can't do them easily. Perhaps a tick box when you upload a new level that says "Tricks Required".

    Some authors will mention whether tricks required in the level description so you can find it out pretty easily and decide to play or not. But only some, not all. Sometimes reading the comments also suggest whether tricks or without. Many of my levels are all logic as you can see in the level description.

    Good idea! And a tick box that show what trick is used (e.g autopilot, SSS, etc.) If it required some special trick there's a box where author needed to write it him/herself.

    That would mean a lot of tick boxes :rotf: and new tricks are always being found. What might work is the text said "Please list all tricks used in the description or in a spoiler". :cool:

    I've just realised my latest level uses an easy trick (RPO). I will add it to the page.

    Yes, a lot of tick box for general tricks only. Actually a trick like "Hercules Push" or "Wedge Climbing" is come from autopilot too...

    A trick that is a development of general trick is counted as a special trick so that's why we need a box for writing them. Another tick box for those special tricks will caused too many tick box option:D

    I still try levels with tricks, especially if they look good, but I usually get stuck.

    Ask Practice ones with videos or ask @cimarronline or @Denis Nazin they and others will normally help you out with a video etc. Your get there I got a bit tired of it at one time cos of the tricks buy once I watched the video I learn from it. But I need videos alot cos some of these levels are proper hard . I only do B only levels at the moment. Got fed up with the herding. There is over 17000 levels on this forum. So many B only levels to play. :thumbsup:

    Listing tricks is a nice courtesy, but not required. If you are unsure (or stuck), just ask.
