heh, haven't looked at this game in a while. I can give a bigger hint if this isn't enough, but consider what would happen if you managed to duplicate a player block that didn't have an x on it

Oooh this is fantastic! Managed to get all of the gems. Thanks for making this!

Very fun!

Dang these are great!

Solved! I'm very curious what the mathematical construction is that you derived this from. I thought you might be referring to the seven color theorem for tori, but that didn't seem to help me find the solution. 

Thanks for making this!

Hi! While I appreciate you testing out my game, I'm pretty sure your math is wrong. nCr is the formula for choosing r objects from a set of n. Note that these choices are dependent—choosing item 1 means you can't choose it again. 

To be frank, I don't know why you thought the Choose formula was the appropriate formula to use. Each choice of object per cell should be independent.

Here's the correct calculation:

To pick the location of the player, choose 1 cell out of the 25. For each of the remaining 24 cells, independently select one of the following: Empty, Crate, Target, Crate and Target, Wall. This is clearly 25*(5^24).

(I left out putting a target under the player, which would multiply the total by 2.)

My code is pretty bad and probably broken, but this bit of math is not. 

Also, you say my library is infinite, but it clearly has a finite number of levels inside it. It does wrap around, but that isn't infinity, it's a torus.

Finally, it's pretty rude to sign off a message to a stranger with "with disappointed looks."

Have a nice day,

Beekie

Cool puzzle!

oh cbAIcely is trying to promote AI??? how suspicious

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

If you're asking if I used AI, I did not!

no, though a Langton’s Ant game might be fun…

Ah okay good to hear! I hope development continues well :)

hi! I hope you don’t mind me asking… are you still working on this game? I remember it being really fun and interesting!

Please stop posting extremely classified military intel on the comments of my games.

time for a SECOND [E/AD]DITION?!?

Hi! Before I give a hint, I want to confirm you’ve seen the hints in the description, including the link that says “click this link.”

I will also add that there is only one level/puzzle. 

With that out of the way, what are your thoughts so far? Do you know what the title refers to? How might you do what the title refers to with the information given in the puzzle?

thank you! I really appreciate this :)

ooh interesting... that isn't right, so I'm curious what your reasoning was...

(I can give a hint, but I'll need to know what you're currently thinking)

This is a really cool game! I’m reminded of discussions I’ve seen about magic systems in novels, where there’s a seeming dichotomy between rigorous magic systems and softer magic that instills  a sense of mystery and wonder. Your game manages to do both with its mechanics, somehow, which is really fascinating.

This puzzle has a very mean trick, so you’ll need to think outside the box. Let me know if you want a bigger hint!

It isn’t allowed in this game, but that’s a clever idea! 

This was excellent. Thanks for making it.

It was really fun exploring the cave system (and the mechanics)!

This was fun!

Thank you for your kind words! And thanks for making Puzzlescript!

This was so visually mechanically satisfying! I have one quick question, if you don't mind... I was left with one extra thread at the end of the game. Did I miss something, or is that intended?

Either way, this was a great game. Thanks for making it :)

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me :)

Also, I’ll probably delete these messages at some point, as I have a (secret) no-spoiler policy for the comments of my games… but thank you for letting me know about this!

That’s so clever! You’re very close to the real solution, btw. (I wonder if the hat-bunny push breaks any other puzzles… I’ll have to test it).

woah wait you got it to infinite loop for real?! How’d you do that?

That sounds interesting and completely okay by me! I would like credit if it’s not a hassle, and I definitely want to see the final thing once it’s ready

Thank you! And yes, that is the intended solution

did you see the hints in the description?

Oops, that’s a mistake on my part. Will fix. Sorry!

This is absolutely brilliant! One of my favorite games I've played this year. Thanks for making it :)

I'm running a sort-of game jam for one screen, one level puzzle games like this: https://confoundingcalendar.itch.io/. Would you consider making something for it?

I finally finished this version! This is a beautiful puzzle!

Thank you! This means a lot

That first secret was really brilliant by the way. I highly encourage anyone looking at the comments to not look at the source code.

Is this possible to finish? I found the (first?) secret by looking at the source code (sorry for cheating!), but I'm wondering if there's another secret I'm missing or if the game is solvable using the information I have...

Very funny, very impossible.

Brilliant. I need to try this!
