I agree with the player.
But there must be some level which included lasertank have already used this trick,find and delelte them is difficult and seemed not to respect the authors�

What is your
opinion?
Hi Donald,
I have looked at Pono's tricks, in particular level 11, and I am amazed that this is accepted as a legal "trick".
Has this ever been used before in any other level?
Analysing the trick, there are 2 actions occurring.
Firstly, the antitank moving along the thin ice is 'killed'.
Surprisingly, it does not stop but continues moving along the thin ice !!!
This is contrary to several actions that are built in to LaserTank.
a/ When an antitank is killed it cannot be moved.
b/ When a moving object is shot, it stops immediately.
Both of these actions are universally accepted by solvers.
Pono has discovered a trick that uses a mistake in the programming code to perform an exception to the rules.
Secondly, the killed antitank is shot for the second time as it skates along thin ice.
This time it freezes on top of thin ice.
I believe that these are sufficient errors in programming to eliminate 'Pono's_trick_011' as a valid technique, and it should be deleted as not acceptable and any level using that trick should be deleted!
The alternative is that one day another 'bug' will be discovered which will completely destroy the objective of the game.
Let me know your thoughts.
