Ok figured that one out. Use a ramp to bridge the gap. Turn the circle into a wheel on a skate thing. Connect the "skate" to the hub of a large wheel on the high plateau. Attach a weight to rotate the large wheel and pull the "skate" up the ramp. Chock-block the "skate" so it won't roll back. Then rebuild the wheel and connection and redo over and over until the circle reaches the flag.Originally posted by: FeuerFrei
Made it to level 19 but it took a while. Now I can't get the ball across the chasm to the flag on the higher plateau.

Heh, I think I'm averaging somewhere around 30 shapes per level.Originally posted by: nonameo
lol, I did lvl 5 with 1 shape.

How did you manage it with only 1 level?
First time through, my aim is to simply solve the level in some way. That's bad enough, much less optimizing the solution.
Oh, neat. I also didn't know that pins or hinges could be attached the objective shape thing.
Ah, I guess that'd do it. It wasn't until Level 12 that I found that you could attach things to the objective shape.Originally posted by: nonameo
I attached a hinge to the ball, and then attached a hinge to the X square. Then I used an off balance shape to "launch" the ball. I erased the arm as soon as I reached the right angle to throw the ball far enough.
edit: having trouble with 6 and getting it in as few pieces as possible. I KNOW I can do it using as many shapes as I want, just trying to use one or two.

Level 13 is besting me

I do wish there was some indication of when a shape has locked onto a pin or hinge. I waste loads of shapes just trying to draw something such that it actually locks into place.

There's not exactly a lot that can be done. There's no room.
And the physics engine has some problems like I'd see in Garry's Mod.Originally posted by: Chronoshock
If a shape contains another fixed shape, it will try to move the shortest distance such that the shape no longer intersects it. If you have a square with another square inside of it such that the top and bottom are an inch away, the left side is an inch and a half away, and the right side is half an inch away, the large square will move to the left half an inch (if there is no other shape on the left side prohibiting the movement).
If you attach your circle to a square that surrounds the platform your circle is sitting on, you can move it in any direction using this trick. If there is a platform directly below you, mark a pin on your circle, then draw a shape around your circle so that more of it is below you. Your circle will immediately clip through the platform
