Sue me if this has been asked before. *sued*

But is disabling allowed? I don't mean like enemy or rocks or whatever, I mean things like trees, things you wouldn't be able to interact with anyways. Granted, you shouldn't need to, but if the need does come along, is it allowed?

I'm also making a highly blocky level. It's blocky because it's based on those old Super Mario Brothers "underground" levels.

I don't understand why a lot of people are ♥♥♥♥♥ about not being able to collab. What the hell? It's not the end of the world and there will be other LDCs where you can collab. If you're gonna ♥♥♥♥♥ about it, don't join.

OK, so in other words you're allowed to have warp pipes and doors still, but you can't have a thing where it's like you can go one way or the other? It just has to be in a specific direction? Are we still allowed level transitions?

Tell me if I have the wrong idea about the theme... just a little confused.

Oh yeah, and of course I'm going to enter! :twisted:

I'm sure everything is fine but you just can't have silver stars, red coins, or glitches of any kind. So yeah, level transitions are good.

What about a unique-looking title that has to be manually edited into the code? Is that OK?

Lolz, I gotta remove that second line, then.

So, let's summarize. No going into the code. No extremely high numbers on items, like a 180 flipping platform for a sandpit, etc.

Correct?

I got a question about the L5 rule: If even a single judge's computer can't load my level, is my level disqualified?

Oh yeah....I'll be really pissed if I worked hard on something, and then I get nothing. >_> Also MoD, this is frustrating.

Well, no, but you'll get a mark off. If it turns out the judges' computers just suck, then we'll look into a partner for them. But if we're all normal and one of us doesn't load, there goes a point or two.
