Everyone please tell me, which of the following is closer to how you see the arrows spin in the maze?
Middle frames
No middle frames
I have made some changes:
Done.
And done. I tried red but it didn’t stand out as well as white. (Feel free to suggest other colors for this or any element.)
Please test both these features. [another link to the maze] I have also archived the previous version if anyone needs it.
I have detected an inefficiency in my code and corrected it. If the animation was at all choppy for you before, try again now.
Holy crap!!! 46 moves!?
Well I still havent looked at the solution but I think that I will probably have to look at some point. But I’m still working away at it.
Nothing’s happening for me. I’m using IE 6. Whenever I put my pointer over a tile I get a message like this:
Tile (0,0), pointing down
When I click on a tile, nothing happens. When I click on the reset page, I get a “Error on page” message.
I’m also running Zone Alarm Pro.
Hmmm. I don’t know what it is. I’m not getting any errors with IE 6. Is it possible to get more information on the errors? Like is there a “details” link?
Well, I got it to work once, but now it won’t work! When I get the “error on page” message, there is no way to find exactly what the error is.
On OS X (Jaguar) Safari 1.0 (v.85) works like a dream. I see the ‘no middle frames’ option of tiles.
Oh, I didn’t solve the maze, although it was very clever and enjoyable.
Double-click the yellow (!) icon in the lower left corner of your IE window. This will bring up a dialog box with the error details.
Great Game achernar, I’m still going at it, working fine with Windows XP home and IE 6.0

I did that and here’s what I got:
Line: 19
Char: 31
Error: Can’t execute code from freed script
Code: 0
I see no middle frames.
I’m slower than average, I haven’t solved it in 20 minutes.
hangs head in shame
I peeked at the solution. Then I just peeked a little bit more. Before I knew it, in a fit of maze solving orgy, I had completed it.
You’re too funny.
There is one possibility for those who think this is too hard. I could make a smaller, easier 3 × 3 Twistile board. I have made them in the past, but abandoned them because they were too easy - the hardest one took about one-third as long to solve as the 4 × 4. I could put one of those in, and make the current board a sort of “level two”. What do you think about that?
Mr. Blue Sky, I’m still investigating the error you got. Could you clarify something for me?
By “reset page”, do you mean the RESET button next to the GO BACK button, or the browser refresh? If it’s the button, try refreshing your browser after the maze has completely loaded and see if that lets you work the maze. Thanks for your help.
If I go to the site and try the maze, I get the error message. Sometimes hitting your reset button works, sometimes not and I get the same error message (perhaps a cookie issue?). When I hit the browser’s “refresh” button, it sometimes fixes the problem, sometimes not.
I know this off & on thing can drive you nuts!
This strikes me as odd. I have added a tool to the page to allow diagnosis of this.
Notice the text box labelled “Frame delay in milliseconds”. By default it is set to 240; this is very slow. I feel that it’s slow enough that everyone should see the intermediate frames. The value I had it at before was 60; this value allowed for smoother animations, I thought. If you set it to 0, then you can see the “No Middle Frames” style - it jumps from one orthogonal direction to the next.
Is there anyone who cannot see the middle frames even at 240 milliseconds? Please play around with the value and tell me what you see.
The only problem I’ve had is that as a game it’s frustratingly difficult! There are certain tiles that you can only click once and never return to at any time. I guess that’s the clue to win at it, but bugger me, it’s a tough one to figure out.
