First enter the editor in this level and remove the tankmover to the
left of the tank. Close the editor but don't save the level. Then make
a recording in which you move the tank one square left and then turn
to face the right. Save it and then load the original level from the
file.
Now, turn the sound off. Play back the LPB using "Resume Recording"
(not "Playback Game..."). The game will now calculate what happens at
breakneck speed. On my computer, I found that it stopped after a few
minutes, with the tank now facing the flag, ready to complete the
level.
This shows that the level is solvable, and that it is clearly within
computing power to determine how long your modified levels are. (I
haven't seen them myself, as I haven't been able to figure out how to
decode them. Anybody know where I can get "text-converter.exe"?)
