SOLUTIONS ========= -Stuck? Need help? Can't figure out how to pass a level? Normally I'd -tell you to select Show A Solution from the Move menu but it appears -that KGoldRunner doesn't allow third party level designers to provide -their own solutions. - -I've come up with a workaround using the fact that KGoldRunner records -you as you play levels. The file rec_kxp.txt contains recordings of my -playing the levels from the KGoldrunner Expansion Pack. It currently -contains recordings of the first 165 levels but recordings for all -levels will be added. - -If you'd like to see how I did something, move that file into -~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner/user but be aware that since KGoldRunner -has been recording you playing the levels this will overwrite your -recordings you may want to back up your recordings file if you want to -be able to keep that. Also, if you then go play a level it will -overwrite my recording with yours. As a result, you may need to keep a -"pristine" copy of my recordings around and swap the files around -multiple times if you want to see multiple solutions while playing -levels in between them. - -Hopefully these limitations will be addressed in a future version of -KGoldRunner. +Stuck?
