Hint books

Has anyone thought of making a book which contains all the levels and hints to get their gold times? It would be really useful.

Great idea! We could put it in .pdf format and dress it up some.

We can make a book for Beginner levels, one for Intermediate levels, one for Advanced levels and one for the Golden levels.

We should also put in a step-by-step guide of each level with thumbnails of the level. I'm getting excited here!

Maybe Alex and "GarageGames" will post the pages as a resource on the MB archive. Then we can submit the tips and trick, walk-throughs as we finish or discover them.

This "Hint Book" will surely enhance MB's play as we each try each others methods to gain better and better time increasing our skill.

You can take screenshots of MB on Windows and Mac. Macintosh computers use Command-Shift-3(full screen)-4(selection) or Windows using "print screen to clipboard" function.

There's also a way to record a demo, but I'm not sure how to do it now. It's on the forum somewhere.

BTW, I'm really impressed with the activity on the MarbleBlast forum. For awhile, the enthusiasm here died off, but it seems in full gear now. Bravo!

We should also make a new forum, called "Marble Blast Hint Book", designed especially for it, not getting it mixed in with the other forums.

The hintbook sounds like an excellent idea, I would be glad to post the pdfs on the custom content site!

Not sure what it would take to get a whole new forum section, I'll ask Rick.
