LaserTank levels. It is meant to allow players to note down their
answers for future use without needing to record them using .lpb
files.
It is quite simple -
L = Left arrow
U = Up arrow
R = Right arrow
D = Down arrow
F = Fire ( spacebar )
If there is more than 1 action , the symbol is followed by a
repetition count. If there is only 1 action , no repetition count is
added.
I have also written a programme to convert .lpb files into the new
notation - here is the output for Level 11 "Behind Enemy Lines"
L00011
Behind Enemy Lines
Vic
Number of steps is 41
R11UF5U5R2UFU10R5
i.e. right 11 times , up , fire 5 times , up 5 times , right 2
times , up , fire , up 10 times , then right 5 times to finish.
This notation can be used to send full or part solutions via email
without needing to create .lpb files. Also , the solutions to
multiple levels can be stored in a single file.
If anyone is interested , I will write a programme to do the reverse -
that is , turn solutions in human-readable form into .lpb files and
make it available to the group.
