Collection level 20 again

[Jonathan_NL]

I beat my old 41.24 at collection level 20 by a tenth of a second. Apparently I didn't lose my skill after not playing for a long time. http://pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I have made overviews of all levels now, and corrected a not-so-blatantly-obvious problem in the previous one (the copy on the server is left uncorrected). It's more than I can reasonably host (55.3 MB) and I'm not sure if Chronic Logic would like it if I posted them all.

Oh! Haha! The old record's replay was there when I downloaded gish! I had no idea it was you who did that! I couldn't even come close to beating that collection level, let alone getting under 41 seconds on it. Wow.

No, i'd say you haven't lost your skill...

EDIT: oh wait.. That wasn't you in the already-in-gish replay, was it? The roy sawyers person got about 38 seconds in that level. hmmm...

[Jonathan_NL]

Yeah, a 38.4 s replay of Row Sawyers (not me) is distributed with the game. He seems to have some sort of relation with CL: his name always appears in the credits.

Did you like the overview image?

[Gifgiff]

The overveiw is neat. I didn't know you could do that sort of stuff with gish. Was it hard to write the program to do it?

The http://pontifex2.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=31;t=731" target="_blank">level format is pretty simple, but raster data is encrypted. I snatched encryption/decryption code from a now-gone http://pontifex2.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=27;t=557" target="_blank">basic level editor by Chicken1. I still obviously know how the encryption/decryption works, but I don't know if CL wants me to publish it. If any of them reads this, can we get an answer?
