hi everyone,

are the crossflip levels the same for everyone? it seems as if my level 556 is not solveable or as if something rather weird going on. i tried with and without keeping blocker tiles in the 2 matrices as zero rows. i tried with 2 of my own solvers and also via a well known public Z(2) library. all the previous 555 levels are no problem ... i can solve them within seconds each.

will look into it ... but as the library comes up with a solution i guess the matrix is solveable and the problem would be on my side.

camel

first i thought it could have to do with the square of the sides going beyond 256^2 but as i leave out the blocker tiles in my last attempts the a-matrix does not reach 256^2 by 256^2 yet.

will investigate

ah ok ... this really could be the problem ... matrix goes over 65536^2 from level 555 to 556 even without blockers ...

turned out that the well known library really had a bug. so hacker.org even helped to make the world of math libraries a little better ))
