Subject: Re: Suggestion for a new type of cell

 

The idea is to have a cell on which Willy can land safely after falling
from an "altitude" higher than 4 character-rows. Right now the only way
to guarantee a safe fall is landing on a rope, isn't it? Well, if there
were individual cells on which he can land safely, it would make
possible an interesting room design (jumping through ILBs to land on
that particular cell, etc.).

What do you all think? And would it be difficult, from the technical
point of view, to create such cell-type?

P.S. I don't recall this idea being mentioned before, but if it was, my
apologies to the author - please step forward! :-)

I've already suggested incorporating this idea into the Trampoline
cell - the idea being that since it's soft and bouncy, it breaks
Willy's fall. Making it multi-purpose :)

Maybe I didn't get around to posting the idea but I think I did.

Either way, I think it would be brilliant. Setting things up so you
get caught on a rope after a fall can be so tedious sometimes (not to
mention predictable).
