Re: [Enigma-devel] Sokoban-levels not allways solvable

They are meant to be always solvable, but I recognized 2 days ago,
that they aren't.

Do you remember their names? If so, please post them.

Yes, but that's boring and not intended.


@devel:

I've uploaded a patch which reactivates the restart-keys (Shift-F3 and
Ctrl-A) and the time-hunt mode. Here it works fine.

If somebody wants to test, you can download it from my enigma-archive
at http://www2.mikro.biologie.tu-muenchen.de/rs/archives/2004-public
which is currently based on patch-50 of Daniels enigma-archive.


Some fleas are left, like cut-off-par-time in level menu and too long
init string at start of level (because in time-hunt mode I added

        " (to beat: x:xx)"

to the display of level name+author. I thought of adding a new
text-scroll-mode, which scrolls left and right if the string is too
long for the display (like e.g. Winamp does with long songnames).
