Hi Tom. I wasn't expecting you to hand over the keys to the kingdom so to speak. I had hoped for some more in-depth discussion about the proper use of random elements in games. The unavoidable bomb in Treasure mania1 is a clear instance of completely unfair and unavoidable death. What you've thought up is a somewat different use of invisible platforms. I think I prefer James's method overall but yours will still work quite nicely I think. It still provides a fair challenge. I can't wait to experience the complete game when you've got it done.
