Subject: Re: Rope-Teleport phenomenon
Daniel said (re: the Rope-Teleport Bug):
> So I am still puzzled, and I think it would be very interesting to
establish WHY it happens, because if we knew it, then perhaps it
would be possible to use it consciously. My idea is that you could
prevent the player from climbing the rope with Fire-cells through
which the rope passes (like in the room "Volcano Eruption" [093]
in "Mind Control"), or making it impossible to jump onto the rope
because of the distance, and then the only way to access the room
above would be with this trick wouldn't it be cool?
An alternative, and more difficult challenge, would be to have a room in which you have to cross from one side to the other without triggering the Rope-Teleport Bug! (With the room beyond the exit at the far side of the room only being accessible by crossing the room in which the bug takes place.) If you got teleported to the room above, you'd have to go back down and start all over again!
