[Enigma-devel] unexpected behaviour of turnstile and lasers

[Johannes Huesing]

Hi all,
in the following situation:
3 
  +e
  
where the plus sign is a turnstile with an arm pointing eastwards and the
3 is a laser firing eastwards, when I push the turnstile arm from below I
lose a life, but I can safely pass the turnstile with a second life because
now the turnstile arm blocks the laser.

This behaviour is not quite intuitive to me. If the laser light is blocked  
it should be from the first moment. After all, the ball does not enter the 
beam before the turnstyle does.

Are there any levels that depend on this behaviour? Otherwise I would not
mind if the turnstyle would block a laser's path from the first instance.

Greetings


Johannes
