Tilt-A-Ball

Get the ball to the finish line! KPACABA (AFAIK) came up with the original "joystick" I just redesigned it to make it work better.

      @Canabian as soon as I started playing accidentally pulled the platform and won. 3 seconds and won ...

      @KPACABA Yes I am uploading a fixed version.

      @Canabian I think everyone "steals" ideas from everybody else around here, and that's perfectly fine, and even welcomed!. These levels are a source of inspiration for builders. No one has a patent on any particular process or Mech, no one has exclusive rights to a particular bug implementation, or whatever.

      If you are afraid someone's going to steal your idea, or your process, then don't post your level, keep it to yourself, then nobody will ever know how wonderfully you made something... And then someone else will discover it, post it first, and then claim YOU "stole" it.

      Ah,...SVARTSJUK... The perfect word for an imperfect situation.… translated from Swedish variously as "dark illness" or "black sickness"... The perfect description of what "jealousy" does to our hearts and souls...

      To those of you who have not yet attempted to study a new language, I'd like to suggest that you do so, more than one, if possible, like the Europeans...Because translating words or concepts or idioms from other languages may give you a different perspective that may not occur to you in your native language.

      Svartsjuk is that word for me...I never understood what jealousy really was until I saw another language referring to it as some sort of dark illness...oh, how true!

      @Sunny Sunset there are levels that I had wanted to "steal" and modify, but thought it would be bad :D
    • Sunny Sunset
      @KPACABA It's all in "how" you steal something that makes the difference.

      You cannot take someone else's level, redo it with the same "look and feel". and try to make it better...that is a copyright violation. However, if you like the way they did a specific little section, go ahead and use that section in an entirely different level of your own invention...but try to implement that section a little differently… Or better.

      Note the Canabian's level has a joystick in the middle, while yours was on the corner. His also has a narrower path. They may be similar in IDEA, but they are different enough in implementation. and hidden mechanics, that there is no real conflict.

      By the way, an IDEA cannot be copyrighted ...only its implementation, description, or graphic representation can be... Or if you decide to set it to music, that also can be copyrighted.

      One example could be the "conveyer". It has a really cool mechanism to transport a ball on its own ...upwards.

      You can make your own conveyor, And make it better… and if you want to credit someone for the inspiration, go ahead. Not required, but it's the polite thing to do.

      Or you can re-create it exactly how that person created it, ...BUT you better give him credit if you use his exact mechanical implementation....even if the rest of your level is completely different.. Or he's probably going to be a bit ticked off.

      Are you understanding the fine lines here?

      I'm currently trying to duplicate a weird thing Caken did… But if I ever succeed, I can't post it because it will be an exact copy. However, if I use that weird idea in my own invention… No problem ..but I will definitely credit Caken for it because as far as I know he's the only one wo has been able to do it. :)

      … And he's not talking

      @KPACABA "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

      So consider yourself flattered that your joystick was imitated.
    • KPACABA
      @Canabian did you say that your joystick movement smoother. maybe you do not see my new version of the joystick, there is a joystick movement is not less smoothly than you
    • Sunny Sunset
      @KPACABA it actually does sound like you are a bit haunted, especially because of your comment about which one moves smoother. :)
