Nice little level, but it took me three tries to position the blocker correctly, so that the third basher frees it. You are correct with your guess for the difficulty.

PS: I still don't understand why you include bombers in levels with 100% save requirement? Same goes for the newly replaced level in LPII btw.

Timeframe:
1st Phase entries close 12th of March
2nd Phase entry close date is TBA, it will be at least 7 days after the 2nd phase begins

How does everyone feel about this?
I found the two weeks for contest 2 already rather tight, but now one has just 10 days (and only one weekend) for phase 1 and certainly less for phase 2 (unless one checks messages every day).

One certainly can do a "Speed creation contest" (e.g. create a full level pack of 10 levels within one week), but I fear that the level quality will suffer if the time frame is too tight.

Who (of the participants of the first two contests) was actually encouraged to participate by the prizes?
I for one am rather indifferent concerning the prizes, but simply like the challenge to create nice levels meeting certain criteria.

Seeing IchoTolot's entries to the level contests and you working on easy access to new styles, I wonder how much work it would be to add support for L2 styles (or at least the Shadow and Egyptian style) in NeoLemmix levels?

I think it's useful to have a graphical representation of a user's rank, in terms of both posts and mod status.

Concerning mod status, one could just make the words "Admin" and "Moderator" bold and perhaps colour it red resp. blue.

...because even if new people see the stars/lemmings, they won't know what it corresponds to. Could be 50 posts, could be 2000 posts, could be a mod status...

...and there are forums where it represents karma, which then leads to an immense increase of silly jokes, because usually someone starts to upvote all of them .

Could someone please check whether Mayhem 25 "Opposable Lemming" is solvable in the NeoLemmix version.
Everything else works perfectly fine now (using V6).

Info: My level can be solved in NeoLemmix, though I would be very surprised if someone manages to save 100%.

@IchoTolot: Looking forward to see this level again! 100% without bashers is still not terribly hard, but requires some planning.

I'm not saying to combine the different languages... I *know* that that is impossible. What I am suggesting is that a fresh project be developed. Sure some stuff would be inevitably lost, but many hands make lighter work.

This is precisely what I tried to say as well and this is precisely the reason why I posed the question: Who would give up his/her own project especially if it is already fully functional (apart from few bugs) like SuperLemmini, Lix of NeoLemmix?

That's true, which is why I suggested having selectable options.

Then there is not much difference to having separate programs imo, or do I miss something? Assume for a moment you are the developer of SuperLemmini (or one of the other engines). Would you really want to code almost everything again, only to see the same game mechanics again? As namida already mentioned, the details in the game mechanics vary quite a bit: Different sprites for the lemmings actions are used, terrain checks differ, steel handling is a big mess, ...

Specifically as to whether Lemmings game mechanics would work well on a small screen, well there are already PSP and Vita Lemmings, which are not terrible. Also there are plenty of other other iPhone and Android Lemmings clones. So it's not a problem that could not be solved with some thought.

Yes, I know that playing Lemmings on small screens can work with the right controls. But the question is: Assume a game is written origianally for computers and afterwards features are added to ease playability on tablets, iPhones, ... Will it turn out to be equal to a program written especially for such use?

Do you see where I'm heading with this, how we keep reinventing the wheel and re-duplicating our efforts?

Yes, I see your point. The problem is, that we already have a few fully functional Lemmings engines now with freely available sourcecode. So anyone who wants to create some port or add some new features may use the existing code. Certainly, in some cases (like for Android) this might not work. But if we start with some uniform new project right now, who can guarantee that in a few years there won't be new OSs, which are utterly incompatible with your project.
And sometimes it is just easier to create something completely anew, than to try to understand someone else's code and then extend/modify it.
