As Ronald already mentions a suicide and a respawn at the starting position offers some more solutions. ;-) If a respawn at the last safe grid exists I'll add the usually extralifes for a more relaxed game play. I would even do this for those of my levels having the same conditions, too. >> - Tour de France: This is actually a more general aspect, as I >> think that the behaviour of it_drop is a bit strange: If you die, >> your respawning position is where the rotor was transformed back >> into your marble, and not the starting point of the level.

May be he favours your translation. Sorry but I won't use anything like that because I know Günter Grass' novel "Im Krebsgang" and the historical implications. >> - Finally, "Floodoban" isn't in the game yet; are you still >> waiting for a new version or did you just miss it? > > There are several finished levels still waiting in the queue.
