This level is kinda experimental. You only need a cursor for this level. No input needed, just move the cursor to where you want to create AC. Flip emitters to create more AC at your cursor. Flip all emitters to win. Good luck and Have fun! Included: Somewhat easy-to-edit script. Will make another level with cursor AC for easier script.

That was kinda fun!

Experimental or not, i really like it. I wish you will do more complicated in future. And really nice thing that you dont need to spam mouse button, or even hold it. Great job.

Thanks!

I made the script way easier to use and saved a copy at my Words documents. It isn't exactly the right format but I can copy-paste the code from there. This means I can from now on easily use the cursor scripts at other levels. It took me a few hours to get everything to work, but now it should work correctly forever.

Fun map. Kept trying to optimise my timings. First attempt got 40+ mins, 3rd attempt got it down to 6-7 mins

Enjoyed the different playstyle that the map offered.

Hope you keep making more maps with this concept.

Thanks! :D

Cool map! Nice concept.

Also, when replaying, I found a weakness that allows you to skip the final emitter:

Yeah, I found out about it at one of my more recent levels. Good job finding it :P

Dude, very interesting gameplay - especially considering its simplicity! Great job ;D

I do think there's a good deal of potential here and I hope you'll keep developing this idea.

Thanks for the map! ;D ;D

I could make another level with these old cursor scripts instead of using my newer version. I was originally planning on developing these scripts in a different direction: cursor terping, cursor forcefield and other things like that.
I might create a level like that in the future. Now that I don't take my ADHD medication I'm kinda unpredictable so I can't say when.

Dude, don't let them medicate you! >:( >:( ADHD is a contrived designation which the Inferiors place upon us so that they may legally subdue our intellect in an attempt to slow us down to their level! You've gotta rise up and join the resistance! There's no such thing as attention def... WHOA! If I squint my eyes just a little I can sorta see my eyelashes forming some kind of polarizing lens that helps me see the... wow, I am so hungry. I'll be back after I grab some food.

If ya want a quick laugh, look up "Ritalin Room Mad TV". Pretty funny.

Cheers, mate! ;D
