Level 9 (Nuts)

There was an error in the first release as pointed out by "Collin"s mail to Bruce. This has been fixed. The invisible wall at the end and the lack of time may be a problem. As may the identification of the "nuts". First the nuts mail, then the slime one.

Hi,

Stoning the first yam yam gets 8 green and 1 blue (makes 11), stoning
the second yam yam produces 2 keys, 1 green and 2 blue diamonds, 2
blue wall pieces and 2 (?) stones. The 2 blue diamonds are instantly
crushed by stones on the underlying blue wall, so I get only 1 more
point from the remaining green diamond. Stoning the third yam yam
produces heavily growing slime.
 
I can get the blue in the bottom right corner and one blue beneath the
exploding mines (summing my points up to 18). At last, the four green
diamonds in the middle bring additionally 4 points. So I have 22, but
25 are needed.
 
Stoning the green (Alien ?) results in an empty explosion.
 
Any hints ?
 
Robert

a little msore alpha testing before I put the beta version online.

Shit!!
A bug .. this only occurs under the Linux version.
Since I've only tested the IRIX/SunOS version from december last year
and recently changed the slime speed and logic (between versions 2 and 3)
this bug has remained!!
 
THANK YOU for pointing it out.
 
Please download the binary again and confirm you are using the Linux
version.
 
Thanks again,
 
Wil
 
PS: Good luck
