6 Gaps, 5 Builders

[Forestidia86]

It is possible that "6 Gaps, 5 Builders" got easier due to a physics change from 0.6 to 0.7 ("Builder creates brick further ahead, like in NL. No builder backstep."). So the question is if it should be downranked or fixed?

I think it should be fixed, probably by moving the last block 1 px to the right.

moving the last block 1 px to the right.

If by "last block", we mean the final island in the water and not the exit platform, and we move this island 2 hi-res pixels to the right, then all 4 covering replays still pass.

We can, in addition, move the exit platform rightwards by at least 8 hi-res pixels, and all 4 covering replays will still pass. Do we want to move the exit platform, too? E.g., we can move it by 4 hi-respixels, and then re-center everything by moving everything leftwards by 2 pixels.

I'll set aside some time to look at this on Tuesday.

Yes, that's what I meant. My rationale for that change was to make it impossible to bridge two gaps with a single builder, while making sure execution doesn't become harder.
I don't remember what exactly the intended solution is, like bridge 3 gaps with 2 builders or bridge 4 gaps with 3 builders, and how many variations of that are possible now,
so that can be investigated too, but I think ensuring there's no place for a single builder to bride two gaps is the most important part.

Is geoo's proposed fix acceptable?
