I'm just wondering if there's a record for longest run on a course. I created one tonight that ran through 202,922 squares before completion. It took about 4 hours to run!
I'm pretty sure with some tweaking, I could get it to top a million but I'm not going to have the program running for days on its own.

Anyway, where can I look up longest track records? Thanks!

By the way, great game Matt! I've been playing a lot of the user created puzzles and the thing that jumps out at me is that it's really very difficult creating well made puzzles. Too many people confuse putting more trains on the puzzle with increasing the difficultly and user experience.

Heh. I now see that the longest run (that I could find) came almost a year ago with 6.2 million. I'm pretty sure I could extend my solution to get to around 2.5 million but that's still way shy of that record. Back to the drawing board!

Try the "warp mode" by double-tapping the "status: good" button when your solution is running...

I love that we can make our own puzzles! But we need a dislike button, some puzzles uploaded are terrible. Or the option to take our puzzles down, which I'm not sure is possible, but just a thought. I'd like to be able to edit others puzzles, just download and edit instead of making a replicate puzzle. Also, I'd love to be able to choose the musical notes each color plays Overall, I love the game, can't wait for more levels, and more tools for puzzles. Thanks for all the work you've done for it!
And to finish the post, look up my puzzles and play them! My names Wild_Rapids I'd suggest (Wr)Changing Colors, (Wr) Rainbow Cut, and Doubled Yellow. Sorry I couldn't resist advertising that haha.

Keep going. It's a hugely satisfying game. For me, the best puzzler on App store.

Interesting thoughts!

You can download and clone someone else's puzzle, and make changes to it, so I'm not sure if that solves your problem or not. You definitely won't be able to download someone's puzzle and edit the original, because that would cause all kinds of crazy issues.

And yeah, I agree that some uploaded puzzles are terrible. I'm wondering if maybe there should be a way to dislike puzzles as well, although that'd probably make things too complicated.

Heh, you think that Matt ( ElectronicGrandpa ) took his millions from Trainyard and gone ?

BTW: I think this is about time to finally get a full version of your game Matt Incredible design and work!

Ok, yeah I didn't think about that, I don't know how I missed it haha, but thanks!
And if there is simple way to dislike puzzles, I'd like to see that added.
