I've added 13 tricks that were recently discovered to popot.org: http://www.popot.org/documentation.php? ... ksPage2#71
The tricks have numbers 71 up to and including 83.
I've only added things that I think are real tricks; not things that are too similar to other tricks, or that aren't really tricks but what could be called 'smart regular playing'.
If you really think something is missing, let me know.

This "Teleportation" looks like the integer overflow bug. See: http://www.popot.org/documentation.php?doc=OverflowBug

Very nice.
It seems single walls aren't that suitable to block the prince if there's a loose tile diagonally above it.

How exactly does this work?
Are those special tiles, do you need to start at a specific location, maybe run in a specific way?



Also, yaqxsw, in your "Tricks - 9" video, after sliding left, which key(s) do you press to pass through the wall?

Level 9: after run on left side, I turn on right side to take sword. With sword you go on left side and fall down. It need fall exact almost into wall (you can see, you dont bump at wall).
After these you wait for guard. Guard move automatic to go down. If guard go down and land on ground, prince run or jump trought wall (run right or jump).
Level 8: It same as on level 9, but you can run trought wall earlier than on level 9.

Level 3: on you video

This effect work probably in level 3. You can test it.
For example, prince is in room 1. Left of room 1 stand room 2. Room 2 is broken room. Right side of room 2 you should connect another room, but not room 1.

So you can see effect

This trick can be used in the beginning of level 9 of yaqxsw's Trick of Tiles.
(The first part is as trick 13.)

Have these been mentioned in this thread (and on popot.org) yet?

They are similar to ticks 13 and 36, but not quite the same.

Hi! I think i've found a new trick. I think it's simple, but i haven't seen it in the list of tricks yet. Here is the LEVELS.DAT file. It is only in lvl 1.
I think there are a lot of variants of this trick.

Good luck! ;)
