Tarim finally managed to solve Alien Glyphs 3 (with some guidance from
Steph to tell Tarim that he was on the right track.)
And he's realised that there is a mistake in it (no wonder it was so
hard ;-) In the room to the right of the start and in the position right
of centre, the stone should be the creamy coloured one (9th in the trigger
sequence) rather than the browny mottled one (5th in the trigger
sequence). Of course this also changes some of the other rooms and the answer!
Tarim also managed to complete Automation - but only by running it under
version 0.81. He realised there is more than just the 0.92 problem with
transparent mirrors immediately next to rotator stones. There is also a
bug in both 0.81 and 0.92 where, when a boulder breaks a laser beam - the
whole laser path is re-calculated (not just the bit after where the boulder
breaks it.) So in Automation - when the boulder escapes and starts to
break the laser beam - it keeps reversing all the rotators which have the
laser shining on them. If it breaks it an even number of times - then all
is OK. If it breaks it an odd number of times then it doesn't
work. Fortunately the timing is sufficiently random that it works
sometimes and not others.
Don't know if this is the right list to post these problems to - since
Tarim doesn't seem to get any acknowledgement of his messages here
:-( Perhaps you all find Tarim writing in the third person just a little
too weird to cope with ;-)
