KINDS OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE OBJECTS SHOULD REACH BALANCE
In a level, There must be something "good" for you and something "bad" for you. A level with all "bad" for you is unsolvable while all "good" is rated Kids.
I use "positive"(+) instead of "good" and "negative"(-)"bad".
So, I want to know: Which objects in lasertank is generally P and which N? I say "generally",meaning "the majority using ways in majority lvls but not all".
*Flag: Very Positive(++).when you reach the flag, you will win. Thus if you want to let one flag be a tempatation, you'll use many negative things.
*Ground:Positive(+).It extends your space,you can move to any direction, and you can move things on.
*Water:Negative(-).If you walk on it, you will die; and nothing except moveable block can fill it to full.
*Moveable Block: Very Positive(++).It can be moved to any direction, block AT, or as a tankmover/ice-stopper. Addition, It can fill into water(-) then become ground(+).
*Anti tank:Negative(-).You cannot step on the line controlled by AT.But you have many ways to deal with it: kill it with mirror; kill it with crystal block; block it with any moveable things; go across with mover or ice/thin ice;skip the line using tunnels; move itself from another three directions,etc.
*Solid block:Negative(-).You cannot walk across it,and any shot will disappear when meeting it. We can bring good to us with our "move" and "shot", and it give both limits to them.
*Crystal block:Positive(+).differently from Solid block,it can be shot through. Then you can do any shot (without fearing AT).
*Moveable Mirror:Positive(+).It can be used to extend your laser length, to shoot At, or to be moved to 2 directions.But it will sink when meeting water,and 2 directions is sometimes not enough.
*Rotary Mirror:(About)Zero(0).It can be shot to 4 directions, but it cannot be moved so it limits your space.
*Bricks:Positive(+). It can be used to block AT; and when given a shot, It becomes ground and extend your space and shot.But when an object is in front of it, the object cannot be moved to bricks' direction.
*tankmover:Zero(0).It can be used to get rid of AT,then extend your space; And you can shoot cross it.But It can also be limited to your space because It points only one direction; when on it, you cannot shoot so your shots are limited.
*Ice: Positive(+).It can be used to get rid of AT; You can cross it to 4 directions; Of course objects will be harder to stop, but it is easy to remedy.
*Thin ice:(about)Zero(0).escape from AT; and move to 4 directions.But it can be used only once, then you mustn't walk on it until you find a block.I'm not sure it's "0", I also agree it is "-".
*Tunnels:Very Positive(++).It can be shot across; And,A pair can let you skip from an area to another then your space is seriously extended.in addition, objects can skipped too. Of course a single tunnel is very negative, but there are at most 8,so we should let it be (-)not (--).
*Ground:Positive(+).It extends your space,you can move to any direction, and you can move things on.
*Water:Negative(-).If you walk on it, you will die; and nothing except moveable block can fill it to full.

Let's simply count the number of "+" and "-":
"+":11
"-":4 (or 5 if you think thin ice is "-")
"+":11
"-":4 (or 5 if you think thin ice is "-")
Generally, positive things and negative things appear together. See next obvious
examples:
*Water around flag.We should fetch a block but it is surrounded by AT.
*A left-AT next to flag.We should fetch a mirror,sit on something, or let another AT shoot first.It seems that the left AT gives more negative than flag's positive effect--but it usually appears at the corner of the map, so 2 solid blocks' effect should be added.(you see the majority of the map is not "Wall".)
*As an editor,you use tunnels only for moving objects.then you may put AT next to the exit,then put a solid block at the opposite side,then put 2 solid blocks to fix the AT.
*You put an Down-AT at Line 7;you put bricks at F8 to let players push AT to F7. but you won't let AT go down,so you put a line of solid blocks at Line 6.

These are pointing to a result: the total of positive and negative is near 0 in a general good
level. The next result is:When you are an level author,The use of Positive Objects is LIMITED because the different number of KINDS between positive and negative objects is big.( 11 - 4 = 7! )
(Sometimes, for instance, many crowded positive objects can also give negative result.But it's not the majority,i think.)
(Sometimes, for instance, many crowded positive objects can also give negative result.But it's not the majority,i think.)
So, If there is a version Lasertank 5, I support "4 direction AT"(--) to be the new object in addition.
Sorry for my poor english. Hoping my opinion is understandable.
