Personally I would keep Five Alive as I think it could be a good puzzle level in Rank 2 even though you can just bomb next to the steel plate. I don't think beginners would know to do that right away or even if something like that could work, but I'm a little neutral on that if it gets dropped then that's fine. I just can't think of a good replacement.

How about if Postcard From Lemmingland were one of the last ones in Rank 2? You do use the reverse miner trick from Crankshaft, but I feel like it is more obvious that you have to do it there than in  Postcard From Lemmingland. Even if it were still obvious it isn't as easy to turn the lemming around to do that trick like in Crankshaft where you more skills and options to accomplish that than in Postcard From Lemmingland. Maybe it should take the place of Five Alive and Five Alive can be one of the first few levels of Rank 2.

By the way I agree that a good Talisman for Postcard From Lemmingland would be to solve the level without a floater. Taking out the floater means that you can't just climb and reverse mine to free the lemmings because that climber would die falling from the pillar on the far left.

I didn't know this project existed, pretty cool. I was actually doing something similar for fun whenever I'm at a loss for original ideas, but the levels have harder solutions (like a higher save percentage for Pillars of Hercules). However, I don't think I will ever publish it as it really isn't my original work.

Anyway, Rank 1 is pretty solid in my opinion. For rank 2:

- I agree and move Dolly Dimple up. It can be a real hard nut for beginners. The trick used in the intended solution may not be obvious to new players.
- Also agree about moving Keep On Trucking up. I don't know why but that level to this day still gives me so much trouble .
- Replace A Towering Problem with Have A Nice Day! I like that level too even though it is a little builder heavy, but with NeoLemmix it shouldn't be a problem. After all, I think it's a good puzzle because it's not obvious for beginners how to navigate the strange terrain and how to contain the lemmings because you have no bombers if you use blockers. If anything A Towering Problem can make a good late first rank puzzle.
- I think And Then There Were Four would make an excellent last level for this rank.
- I think The Run Around should be earlier (maybe the third or fourth level ), as I don't think it's trivial, but not harder than It's Lemmingentry Watson in my personal opinion. But like you said this is when opinions start to contrast more.

For a game like Lemmings Revolution the warparound thing was okay because of the nature of the game. The levels were on large cylinders and the entire level was able to flow around it continuously without any breaks in it. For Lix multiplayer it is also okay because without it a player that has his or her Lix in the center will immediately be at an unfair disadvantage of being attacked from both ends.

For NeoLemmix it doesn't seem like it's okay. The level would have to "break" on one side so that it can warp to the other side. That can be problematic because players except an end of terrain to be the end, but adding in the ability for the player to reach an end and warp back will destroy that exception. Plus, it will be much harder to solve a puzzle that uses that because of the very nature that human brains like continuity and it won't be able to perceive this ability all the time, and because of that puzzles that use warparound will just add unnecessary complexity that doesn't really give anything to a puzzle that could have been done the same without the warparound.

But that's just my two cents. I'm sure someone else can come up with a better argument for and against warparound.

Thanks Colorful Arty. This isn't the final design, but I think it's a nice first step. I'm still playing around with ideas for what else to do with the website, but I am still sticking with my initial plan of not doing anything fancy. For a website like this fancy stuff is just going to sacrifice functionality.

UPDATE



Version 0.4 of the GraphicsTool has been uploaded and is now downloadable from NeoLemmix.com. The new version fixes some bugs IchoTolot found.

I couldn't nail that hardware pun... I'm screwed!

Thanks Simon. I made sure that the navigation didn't relay on JS to work. If a person has JS enabled then the white mark is just an extra feature, but if they don't then they just don't get it and it doesn't punish them by taking functionality away. The website is not that large so not having the white mark to show you what page you are on is not going to ruin user experience.



UPDATE

- You can now download the full zip file containing the latest NLEditor and Graphic Conversation Tools, the latest NLEditor only, or the latest GraphicsTool only. That way people don't have to keep downloading the full zip file for every update that happens on individual programs only.

- Nepster's new GraphicsTool version is uploaded to the NeoLemmix website.

UPDATE



Changes made live

- Some style changes have finally been made to the NeoLemmix website! They include:
     - Changing the font and increasing font sizes for better readability.
     - A nice navigation bar on the side.
     - That same navigation marks what page you are on by keeping the link of the page you are on highlighted with a subtle color. It uses a small JavaScript file (barely 8 lines) to see what page you are on and then finds the corresponding link instead of checking whether or not a click occurred on a link on the nav. That way, even if you visit a page via another link on another page, it will still work (it doesn’t work on very, very old browsers, but there shouldn’t be any problems there).

Please keep in mind that this is NOT the final product. This is just a small change and there will be many more to come involving colors, background, layout, etc. Hopefully, the current changes will be a nice first step.
