thanks for explaining all that.
yes, nic is completely correct - i just made a counter that requires exactly 65,535 moves, 0 turns, 0 shots, so i guess it would get the record for the most recorded moves and the most boring at the same time. that's why i was wondering how to convert the txt version of a playback back to the lpb format. it would take about 9 hours to record an lpb for this level using laser tank.
by the way, the latest counter that i have is now up to ten trillion
(10,000,000,000,000), but it has very nearly reached the limit for base
three math. i wonder if anyone will discover other math or higher base
math that can be used in laser tank to make long or hard levels. nic obviously
has the trinary figured out.
