I was considering procedural levels, but I think they do need a bit of design to control. Difficulty, pieces which almost look right, or correct pieces in wrong places, or even levels with a theme or certain visuals in the pieces and patterns would be tricky and time consuming to get right with procedural. However a tool that generates a board and a cube as a starting point would be very useful. When I get time I will make a few more levels, and add a bit more feedback. In game tutorial would also be good. \r\rIs it allowed to just update my entry or should I place updates separately?"},{"author_name":"James Paige","author_uid":"4779","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 8:10pm","epoch":1314129900,"text":"Could you post a non-web-player version of this?
