Mekorama 2.0 Cheat Mode

Not sure how this would be implemented but I've often thought of adding one or more cards in the comments section with B repositioned to just after a difficult section. Would possibly be useful if zapped.

 

Exactly! Like the one below. How do you think it could be implemented?

 

As designer you can post an amended card for the benefit of others.
As a player I can amend a card using MekoStudio, if no Blue Bots in level.
I've amended this card to cut out the long run assuming I've been zapped. This means I can practice avoiding the bots and go back to the beginning using the original card once I've mastered the technique. Alternatively I can cheat and carry on to the finish using the amended card.

 

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to a new feature of Mekorama, rather than a currently possible addition. I like the idea though, and I will use it in future.

 

The concept is very similar to build and test. Work on a section of a level then replicate the card creating a backup of progress that works. To shorten testing of each stage reposition B to skip the section you know already works then when happy with that section retest beginning to end. This is Ok as long as there is no dependency from the earlier stage in which case you DO need to start from the beginning. For example you may have filled an empty block in stage 1 with a ball drop but it isn't used until stage 2. This restriction would also apply to cheat cards.

Some designers already offer alternative cards of a level.

I seem to recall reading somewhere on the forum that Mekorama is no longer being developed and is in maintenance only mode. Perhaps @cimarronline could advise?

 

Thank you @cimarronline for such a speedy reply. I am obviously confused, a sure sign of advancing years. Sorry to have troubled you.
Best wishes to you and your family for the festive season.
