I'm thinking about replaying Baldur's Gate 2. That game was super fun. Also, if I get into the beta for Good Old Games I may try out Jagged Alliance 2.

Yeah, I've played through all the levels like 5 times on my breaks this past week. I'm going through them now trying to do it with as few parts as possible.

Level 1, 0 parts
Level 2, 2 parts
Level 3, 2 parts
Level 4, 5 parts
Level 5, 6 parts
Level 6, 5 parts
Level 7, 4 parts
Level 8, 3 parts

I am having to work at level 15: "Down Under"... The earlier similar level :around teh bend wasn't bad, I am going to need a different approach for this one. "Four balls" was fun. I tried a couple approaches until I hit upon the simple solution.

May have to go back and try Scott's minimalist approach.

Here's how I did it the 1st time around... but I'm having a bitch of a time "minimalizing" it.

Level 6, 5 parts

I got that one down to 2 parts. Yours had me cracking up though.
Level 6, 2 parts

That is pimp!

Dean · 2008-08-12, 12:50 PM

Here is level 2 with only one part sort of... I swear it goes in the goal, but doesn't register.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=383146

Thanks Scott, but I am not looking at other's solutions until I am successful at all levels.

That way works... if you zoom way in and nudge the block and stick out a little more:

I did it in zero.

100_Percent_Juice · 2008-08-12, 02:06 PM

Four Ball is fun. I just did this at the same time as my friend and we came up with completely different results.
Mine. http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=384691
His. http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=384140

I did it his way the 1st time, then tried a bunch of time to do it your way and never got the timing right.

Here's my minimal version, 11 parts:

Level 17 "handling" 5 Pieces. I could do it in 4 by dumping the front wheel, but it will take forever to find the perfect length for the front "fork" in drag mode.

I got it in 4.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=384938

I think I must have played with Legos more that you Dean... or at least I ran out of pieces more often than you did.

That was so an accident.

100_Percent_Juice · 2008-08-12, 03:13 PM

How did everyone beat "BIG BALL"?
Here is how I finally had to do it.

Level 6, 1 Part
Level 7, 3 Parts
Level 8, 2 Parts (Speedinticket's idea)
Level 9, 0 Parts (Not very clever)
Level 10, 3 Parts (Speedinticket's idea)
Level 11, 4 Parts
Level 12, 6 Parts
Level 13, 4 Parts
