Re: Chocolate Island 6 - 9th and 8th
I don't think you give yourself enough credit for block throwing. It's just a pretty hard thing to do in SMW. And considering you got pretty consistent at pulling it off in the second half of this level, I think you're probably about as good as you should be for your skill level, which I think is pretty advanced.
Or who knows, maybe I'm just bad at it too.

the actraiser music in 8th is surprisingly stressful at high tempo ._.
Re: Chocolate Island 6 - 9th and 8th
Regarding the question of a plant on a cloud drinking its own substrate. Because our plants are denser than our clouds that won't happen. If a plant had the magic fuel source enabling settlment on a cloud, it'd probably use it a food/water source unless the surface was already a sorcerous shrubbry hellscape in which eeking out an existence on dense air was advantageous. Back to reality, the closest corollary of this scenario is lilypads or marsh plants.
Transpiration is the process of water being carried from the roots and out of small pores on the undersides of leaves called stomata. Evaporation is direct vaporization of liquid into the air. Transpiration is necessary for plant photosynthesis because the plant requires the atmospheric CO2. Gas exchange to obtain CO2 causes water loss.
Water loss will occur regardless of presence of plants or not, but because plants provide shade/stomata control/other potential factors transpiration might not be that much higher than evaporation.
To answer if a plant can drink up it's own water supply we would have to ask if transpiration is greater than evaporation.
luckily some duder in the 1910s tested this.
Charles Hebert Otis did a study on this using barrels and a potometer in table IV he compares day and night water loss of pots containing the plants versus controls.
In all cases except for the lily pad, water loss was greater in the pots that had plants in them than ones that did not. In other words, transpiration was greater than the rate of evaporation in most cases. Still there was alot of variation in how much transpiration occurred in some plants versus controls; cat-tails lost almost twice water compared to the controls where as square rush was only ~10% more than the controls.
In summary plants can increase or decrease water loss of their substrate but it depends alot on the type of plant. At the same time, environments are complicated, more so than a 2 week study like can show.

(Regarding the drowning of cacti I think that's more of an issue of water pooling in the roots leaving it vulnerable to fungal rot.)

Re: Chocolate Island 6 - 9st and 8rd
Would the plant cloud thing be similar to Aeroponics? It seems like a viable method but it's not like the plant is solely supported by a cloud, though from what I understand it's kind of like using a cloud?
Also, wow, that level was pretty intense! Another case of puzzle level with a timer. Might not have been as bad if it weren't for raocow running out of lives so having to savestate after the midpoint. Still, might just be better to not have one in a level like this?

Re: Chocolate Island 6 - 9st and 8rd
I dunno. Aeroponics suspends the plant, but usually keeps the roots in the dark and continually sprayed with liquid? Transpiration occurs normally? iirc roots don't develop if exposed to sunlight? It only works if the environment is enclosed. I'd speculate about high water atmospheres but I haven't read up on tropical climates, or plants.
Aeroponics!

What was the Grinder Experience music from? It sounded vaguely MegaMan Battle Network-ish.

The music in GRINDR EXPERIENCE is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQj8wOfQtA8
I still like the idea of using a very small piece of ASM to create a good level.

I MADE AN ASM is my personal favorite of the contest; I love how clever it is using minimal chocolate.
I have a feeling most will like it more than the top 3.

I'm not sure if the other judges found the crash in sunset vista, but I do know that I at least ended up ignoring it since I couldn't reproduce the conditions whatsoever, not even with the boomerang suit or spamming them like raocow and I both did when it crashed on us. It seemed completely random, completely unreproducible, so I decided, not worth penalizing or disqualifying for that.

Re: Chocolate Island 6 - 5st and 4nd
Reminds me of how was my favorite MaGL X level, and certainly the one I remembered the most. I don't even remember anything else about the top 5 other than the antacid pills in the 1st place?FrozenQuills wrote: ↑5 years ago I MADE AN ASM is my personal favorite of the contest; I love how clever it is using minimal chocolate.

This puzzle level is amazing! Reset doors, now, that's something that was missing from other entries. Please, more reset doors!

Re: Chocolate Island 6 - 3rd and 2nd
ye it's my level.
If I remember correctly I was inspired by Kerkec's entry in magl3 which is a fun hectic vertical platformer. Thus I made a level only out of vertical sections.
Meanwhile the theming was inspired by vldc9's Hotel level by Frost.
And finally the room raocow missed is really just a 1-up puzzle. I think Nimono got to it but there isn't any footage on youtube lol

I didn't upload the streams to youtube, unfortunately ;w; The VODs are long gone, too, since Twitch deletes them after some time.FrozenQuills wrote: ↑5 years ago ye it's my level.

Re: Chocolate Island 6 - 3rd and 2nd
Quality music choice for Hotel. It does a great job of keeping the player calm where a faster-paced track might fool the player into a panic, thinking they need to hurry through the descending rope part.

Waluigi is on the same level as bacon egh? Makes sense, he's a thin cut of cheap meat that is simply too unhealthy to justify serving on his own. Yet despite his greasy and choleric habits some people seem to really like him.
Re: Chocolate Island 6 - 3rd and 2nd
My favorite description of him to date is "he just looks like someone who'd be smelly".
