Ball's Chess

No tricks, pure logic!! The ball must roll to the red brick - you win! You need to think many moves ahead, so it reminds me of chess. Good luck friends.

      Incredible. My theory on why the winblock triggers is
      when the ball moves near the metal block attached to the win, the movement of the ball gets transferred into the metal block (which is connected to the win). This somehow activates the winblock. I think it has a relation to ball vibration - sliders move, so even when they look like they're not moving, they actually are. This causes the ball to continue moving even if it's very slow. This slight vibration gets transferred into the winblock and triggers it.
      Thanks @Denis Nazin :thumbsup:

      I think @Blue Tower's theory was true, cause i found this:

      3 ways:
      1. Activate the sensor and let the ball touch the winblock.
      2. Bring B to the winblock.
      3. Move the winblock and hit the grass.

      @Blue Tower oh yeah i'm sorry. I had upload new image there. Check it out.

      @Blue Tower Thank you very much:D! Yes, you are absolutely right.
      Z or an eye on a win block does not activate it - it is in a state of absolute rest. But any micro vibration is enough to activate them! Accordingly: Any non-static block with any micro-touch in any part of the construction associated with the win block - triggers the win. The exception is the legs of bots! The legs of the bots have no weight!;)

      @BLR @BLR Friends, if you understand the essence of the effect, you can build hundreds more demos! ;):D:thumbsup:

      Excellent ball order lv and cool way to trigger win block. Also thanks for your description, maybe player won't find the clue without it.
    • Denis Nazin
      @Sun Eagle Thank you very much my friend! I'm happy that you liked it:D. Initially, I wanted to make a short level demo of this effect. But then I thought - let the ball that activates win, it will be difficult to get. And the idea of chess from balls arose. I named "chess" because there are many similarities:
      1) field 8:8.
      2) 16 balls - the same number of pieces at the disposal of one player in chess.
      3) you need to think over the combination for many moves ahead.
      4) clicking the win block is a bit like a chess clock:rotf:;)
      Thank you!

      P.S. Regarding the description - I also thought like you! The player might not have guessed what to strive for at this level. Therefore, there is only one red brick on the level! And I wrote what needs to be done in the description. Thanks

      Very enjoyable ball pusher and i liked the finish.

      @Blue Tower @Denis Nazin I think you have it right, it's due to vibration! Last night I discovered you can use the vibration of the slider to move a ball left or right!
