Thanks again Tim, for this awesome app. It's the most fun I've had on the IT...absolutely addicting

I would love to create my own levels and did this, but
a) it offered no confirmation message (but, being beta, not necessarily expected) and,
b) I couldn't find the file. More from ignorance, though, as I am not sure how to locate the following path.

~/.numptyphysics/L99_saved.nph

I used both the file manager and xterm to poke around, but am not sure where to find "~/.numptyphysics/"...dumb question I know but help would be appreciated, thanks.

You might need to create the folder. "~" is your home directory (\home\user), the default location when you open xterm. Just open xterm and type

Code:

cd .numptyphysics

If it returns an error, then type

Code:

mkdir .numptyphysics

After you have saved a level, you can enter the directory and check if the file is there

Code:

cd .numptyphysics
ls

or move the level to another location if you want to share it, e.g.

Code:

cd .numptyphysics
mv * /media/mmc1

(to move it to the external card). Use cp instead of mv if you want to copy it to another location.

Thanks! This is just what I wanted to know! And it worked like a charm!

Ok, so I've built a couple of silly little levels. I decided to post them here, since the files are so small and this way, everyone can try them and proceed to mock me.

Unzip the levels into your ~/.numptyphysics dir. I arbitrarily named the levels 97 and 98, you can change the level numbers to whatever you want. Once you re-open Numpty Physics, you'll have my two levels at the end. Use the right D-pad button to skip through the other levels.

By the way, there's another weird bug in NumptyPhysics. If you have multiple goals, and you hit one of them, the goal disappears but it continues to exist, it is just invisible. This can certainly add challenge to a level, but it is not expected behaviour.

qole, this bug has been fixed in the svn version on the garage page. I compiled it (and got a neat new level as well) and am running it on my tablet (although I couldn't get it to run in scratchbox)

Good to know; I'm not the "compile the latest SVN version" kinda guy, so I'll wait 'till there's a .deb of it.
