There would be less to reset and keep track of, which would result in fewer bugs.

@joshcroad @dcgauld @MaxHunt Any objections to this approach? It would solve a few issues we're having

joshcroad commented 11 years ago

I am happy with this approach. It might take longer for the game to realise the user has lost, but it would remove all our current issues regarding user feedback on failing

mrjatkin commented 11 years ago

It would be difficult, but we could probably work out whether it's possible to complete the level based on the path and remaining momentum. Then, we'd be able to provide feedback to the user straight away

This is the highest priority task right now. We must get it working. Who wants to have a go?
