Any tips for level 9? I can't seem to find a handle on the raft to be able to modify its behaviour directly.
Build a bridge :)

#203Anybody think of another way to do the robot levels without adding any state? https://gist.github.com/db41e069df7bae142248

Variable to control the direction the robot moves, changed with the function phone.

For the truly lazy, this was my approach: map.overrideKey('up', function() { if (map.countObjects('boss') > 0) { for (var x = 0; x
Nice. Lacks drama though, where's the dash through the rain of bullets to recover the missile launcher? :D
I monkey-patched Math.random() to launch horizontal missiles at the top of the screen and always return 1.

Of course. I made them harmless and walked right through them.
Tried that, but for some reason I couldn't disable the onCollision by assigning it to some dummy function. Do you mind sharing your solution?
I wish we could retrieve the solution we used for past levels. :(
Okay, I think I've replicated it. I just overrode onCollision with empty braces, so the final definition looked like this:
map.defineObject('attackDrone', {
'type': 'dynamic',
'symbol': 'd',
'color': 'red',
'onCollision': function (player) {
player.killedBy('an attack drone');
},
'behavior': function (me) {
},
'onCollision': function (player) {
}
});

Ah, yes. That's very convenient. I don't see anywhere to edit on level 21, and level select says there's one more...
Hmm, do you notice anything different about the menu now that you're on level 21?
Wow, great. I had noticed but didn't think you could do that!!

#207I actually used a "private API" in level 14, crisps contest. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/dacd3f1de73a59b5983e Is this cheating?
I completely cheated (added an extra key by setting a trace in the console) because I looked for an editable line for about 10 minutes and couldn't find it. Solved it now by changing greenKey to theAlgorithm
Could you explain how you would do this?
There doesn't seem to be an editable line, what's the trick?

Why were you disappointed?

Why were you disappointed?
Well, the title says you play the game by modifying the game's source. Turns out you don't modify the game's source, you modify specific snippets of code that are provided on the page.
Last weekend I hacked around in the source of various online games, I anticipated this to be a similar experience but was disappointed to find that we weren't supposed to actually change the game's source.

#210Any tips on level 15? Once the player is killed what could I possibly do?
I actually figured something out with this which is weird, because I don't think it has to do with exceptions. I passed in a new object of an undeclared type and just walked across the water, which I can't explain. Can anyone help?
I'm trying with
player.killedBy(function(){throw new Exception();});
Edit: never mind, got it. Overriding onCollision helps. :)
