Crystal Hunter revitalized

[David Williams]

Okay folks, there are now roughly 7 days to go until the competition deadline of 23:59:59 GMT on Thursday 16th September 2021.

I'm bumping up the prize money (again) to £150.

That's some serious beer money.

See the first post of this thread for the rules. Remember it's a First Past The Post competition.

The solution video(s) will be posted just after the deadline.

It's approaching 24 hours until the competition deadline (23:59:59 GMT on Thursday 16th September 2021).

There have been no submissions up to this point in time.

Now, in the final 24 hours in the run up to the deadline, I am (rather insanely!) bumping up the prize money to £175 .

(It started off at £100, by the way.)

Good luck to anyone who wants to give it one last shot.

The competition deadline has passed with no submissions.

The competition is now over, and no submissions will be accepted. Thanks and commiserations to those that gave it a go.

Here, as promised, is a video of Crystal Hunter being played through to completion (without cheating, of course). I realise that I make it look a lot easier than it probably is.

Very impressive - maybe I was too scared of the green meanies!
