I've always been very curious about this. @ Ugo, a shame.. I was waiting for your song! -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming... Back to top

Maybe next time I shall sing one to you. But I doubt you'll understand anything at all, as my songs are all in Italian - I never write in English, or Spanish. By the way, I just saw the pics you took... your meeting at the underwater castle was just ... fantastic... you know, I do apnea and snorkeling all the time, in the summer (and sometimes in the winter too - in the swimming pool), and I'd really have appreciated it... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

While in the indian camp i got sent to Bad world by error i think i touched the Squaw..I was a Red butterfly at the time..Eventually i got back to the cactus minus the Avatar...The only one i could find was the Piano  in the Creek.. i thought someone was going back to Antsworld so i picked up a piano off the beach to try Firing.... No one was there so I Fired some pianos through the centre Ring and everything went Dark.. No Ants .. And the Ringhead Disappeared off the Centre Column... Bout 40 secs later the ants appeared with no music... Strange!!  tried to recreate the thing but it wont seem to do it twice.. Wont even let me fire pianos at them.. like it did last night -------------- We're Flying Aeroflot, We've Got Reservations. Back to top

Wont even let me fire pianos at them.. like it did last night I think you entered what we call 'Ants World' without realising it. It's an 'unofficial' aspect of the game. If you want to do it again and explore (which is quite interesting because there are no barriers in Ants World, and some very weird things go on), the instructions are here. Back to top

I've had some Italian friends and somehow we've managed to understand each other using "Italpanish" -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming... Back to top

Definitely. I just popped into Ants World myself, a few minutes ago, to remind myself how easy it is - and it really is easy. There isn't just one Ants World, there are several: a light and airy version with daliphants and no barriers; a strange restricted version with huge dali-holes in the ground; and a night version, with black sky and black sea. Which one you end up in depends on whether you run away from the ants after firing, or whether you stand still, and also on whether you go into the ant tunnel and then come out again.

With that kind of speed, you just cannot stand still... you're bound to be moving somewhere, but I'm not sure about exactly where, or towards what. However, it's definitely worth trying, and I guess I shall have a try next Saturday... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

With that kind of speed, you just cannot stand still... you're bound to be moving somewhere, The 1, 2 and 3 settings determine the maximum speed you can reach (by holding down the left mouse button). At the 3 setting, that does mean you lose a bit of sensitivity, but even so it's quite easy to reduce your speed to zero with the right mouse button. It doesn't matter if there's a slight drift one way or another, after firing. You'll still flip into the minimalist Ants World - the one full of holes. The important issue (if you want to explore the whole landscape with the barriers down) is whether you've run far enough and fast enough after firing, to ensure that the landscape stays intact. This is a lot harder to describe than actually to do. Believe me, it is very easy to get into Ants World. Back to top
