Is anybody still...here? and kickin? There are still a few of us who check in daily (myself, several times a day) in search of new puzzles (unfortunately, none have been submitted to me for quite a while) and to answer the questions of someone who may have a problem with a Custom Level Quest (especially one of our own design).
Windows 10 has been a HUGE roadblock to the game of Gruntz, as it has made game play difficult (at best) and clumsy, even with the various work-arounds that have been described in this Forum. I have only been able to play the very smallest puzzles through to the end. Many maps have proven to be too large ... with Windows 10, scrolling to the right and/or down is either clumsy (at best) or impossible (at worst). I have been working at creating space in my small (7 foot by 11 foot) computer room (which also houses my library (books and music CDs) and stereo equipment) to allow me to re-hook an old computer running Windows XP. That would allow me to "sneaker net" Gruntz to the off-line computer under XP and solutions back to the Windows 10 laptop for updating information on this Forum.

Have you heard of wrappers? You can make 10 completely function like Windows XP in a matter of a few hours. I haven't done so myself, as I have windows 7 - It is still a pain even here getting direct x to work also. - Also, thats amazing that you have that dedication. I really, really love you for it. And I haven't even gotten to know ya yet /o/
