    Cool... go for it.
    Let me know if I can put up some money for domain registration or hosting costs, I can send some via pay pal.

    But realize that links on your site to iCloud will expire as well. The site would have to host the files themselves. On OSX, with enabled daemon, you should be able to access with finder in ~/Library/Mobile Documents/ but that only works if the daemon is awoken by running an iCloud enabled OSX app. See screenshot below.

    But if the forum would have a 'feedback request' section, we could populate that with URLs to iCloud, and a 'portfolio' section that has links to the uploaded .cranelevel.zip files.

    Yeh I was going to host the files on the site so we won't have expiry problems

    P.s. until I get the site properly working we won't need any money to get it running

    Making a hosting site would be a nice idea, a forum specific for the tlctc will also be nice.:eek:

    If you need any help building the site just ask I can always help ya;)

    Succes!

    Here I've made another nice world, but this time is it easier to finish.
    All you've to do is get the 3 "crates" on their places.

    I hope you guys like comments are welcome.

    You can download it here

    Bram,

    Can you please make the "pallets"(idk how it's called-27th object) al little bit wider, because the heftruck doesn't get out anymore when it's in. Actually it can but it's very hard to do, and that annoys:(

    how to load the posted worlds

    HI all,

    I am a big fan of the game, and decided to give a shot to the editor. However, before starting building something myself, i wanted to see the worlds created by others. I have been trying to download the ones posted on the forum, but i can't seem to load them. Could somebody tell me how to download and all the different steps to download and install a map?

    thanks a lot!

    One of the reasons that loading them fails could be that the iCloud export link has expired. Normally, the links are good for only a week or so.

    Another reason I have found, is that sometimes the import of a world only works if the editor is not already running. So before clicking on the icloud export link, make sure the editor is not running. Double click home button, press and hold world editor icon, and tap the cross.

    I will post a new design soon, here, which you can try out.

    v1.1 out

    Hi,

    v1.1 is now out, along with a new version of the game (v4.1)
    The game update brings back the sandbox.
    The editor update gives two new building blocks, increased block limit from 1024 to 2048, and fixed a crash bug.

    Let me know how it works for you guys.

    About 'z' level:
    Interesting idea, but it runs really slow.
    Even my ipad3 only does 15 fps.

    I think it will run a lot faster if you replace most of the poles with solid blocks.
    Only the inside poles you would need to keep, which will give the same game play and same difficulty, but a lot fewer dynamic objects, and thus a faster framerate.

    Install Pb

    Hi guys, I have tried to download some of the links you have sent, thanks a lot by the way!
    However, once I click on the link and download the level, the following page that appears asks me what app I want to open the program with. It only offers "good reader", another one of my apps, but not the world editor of the game.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    That is strange.
    The only possible explanation I have for this is that good reader interferes.
    Maybe because filename.cranelevel.zip is first tried with .zip readers?
    The only advice I can give you is to temporarily delete good reader from your device.

    I'd never even noticed that. I will change the poles later and upload it then

    P.s can't remember where I got the design inspiration :)

    Suggestion new blocks

    Dear Bram,

    First of all, thank you for your game.. it's a pleasure to play the levels over and over again.

    May I suggest to add some extra blocks in the editor? For example the 'platform block' and an 'inverted corner' block.
    Screen shot 2012-05-22 at 12.50.49.png Screen shot 2012-05-22 at 12.16.23.png

    Have you created some levels yourself? Would you like to share them with us? I think it will give my inspiration a boost :)

    Regards,
