- SLOT MACHINE -  
INSPIRED BY darkstoorm'S "COIN SLOT MACHINE" CAVE!   
UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS CAVE J, THIS PUZZLE IS BY FAR NOT AS SPECIFIC :)

IT'S A BIT PITY THAT BONUS \ VALUE IS ONLY 50 AND TIME VALUE IS 5 SO BONUS \ IS ONLY WORTH 10 SECS. POINTS-WISE IS MIGHT BE BETTER TO DO JUST FAST 24\ RUN INSTEAD OF 25\ BUT NEVERTHELESS I DID 25\ BECAUSE IT'S QUITE COOL :D

darkstoorm, THAT'S RIGHT, UNFORTUNATELY :) I ALSO MADE A 24\ SPEED RUN. SO 1155 = 24\ AND 1085 = 25\. 25\ COULD BE BETTER BUT I CAN'T BEAT MY 24\ SCORE WITH IT :)

nesdori, I WAS ALREADY WONDERING IF YOU WOULD RECORD DEMOS AND COMMENT THIS CAVE, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS EQUIVALENT TO THE BONUS\ BEING POSSIBLE, WHICH I WASN'T SURE ABOUT :D  
THE INFO I HAVE NOW - THE BONUS\ IS POSSIBLE BUT TAKES ROUGHLY 20 EXTRA SECONDS, IS INTERESTING :) I WANNA TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS WORKS :D  
  
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE SOME RESTRICTIONS ABOUT THE \ VALUES:  
1. \ AND BONUS\ VALUE MUST BE SAME ON EACH DIFFICULTY LEVEL (GDASH RESTRICTION)  
2. TIME VALUE IS EQUAL TO DIFFICULTY LEVEL (COULD BE CHANGED IN GDASH, BUT I WANT TO KEEP THIS PATTERN FROM THE ORIGINAL GAMES)  
3. BOTH \ AND BONUS\ VALUE CAN'T BE GREATER THAN 100 (GDASH RESTRICTION).  
THESE RESTRICTIONS OFTEN MAKE IT HARD FOR ME TO FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN TWO EXTREMES:  
\ ON LOW LEVELS, THERE ARE USUALLY MANY BONUS\, SO A HIGH BONUS SCORE WOULD MEAN THAT EXTRA LIVES WOULD BE SOMEWHAT "SPAMMED".  
\ ON HIGH LEVELS WITH FEW BONUS\ AVAILABLE AND WITH HIGHER TIME VALUE, A LOW BONUS VALUE MEANS THAT BONUS\ AREN'T REALLY REWARDED, ESPECIALLY IF THEY TAKE A LOT OF EXTRA EFFORTS.

WELL, NOT TOO EASY TO PERFORM :D ACTUALLY, IF I HAD NOTED THIS DURING THE FINAL TESTS, I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE REQUIRED 25\ :D

dustin, I ACTUALLY WONDERED IF YOU KNEW ABOUT 25\ BUT STILL DECIDED TO GO WITH 24\ REQUIREMENT SO THAT PLAYERS DON'T HAVE TO ABUSE THE SLOT MACHINE :)  
  
I CAN SEE NOW YOUR \ VALUE CHOICES. IT INDEED IS QUITE HARD TO GET A RIGHT BALANCE IF YOU THINK IT FROM THE CONTINUOUS GAME PERSPECTIVE WITH EXTRA LIFES AND OTHER STUFF.  
  
MY SOLUTIONS FREE. 24\ IS FULL-BLOODED SPEED RUN WITH SOME FAST PUSHES TO SAVE SOME TIME. BECAUSE OF 5 POINTS / SEC IT'S WORTH IT :)
