Series 3: The Lab
Lab 1: 12 Ticks
.

Lab 2: 42 Ticks
.

Lab 3: 21 Ticks
.

Lab 4: 24 Ticks
Need the one extra tick from the pink arrow to wait for the grabber.

Lab 5: 29 Ticks
The grabber grabs the penguin which is a little bit awkward.

Lab 6: 161 Ticks
.

Lab 7: 103 Ticks
.

Lab 8: 15 Ticks
.

Lab 9: 12 Ticks
.

Lab 10: 23 Ticks
Typical problem now with teleports.

Lab 11: 61 Ticks
Here it's really hard to use the teleports the optimal way. Took quite some time to find this solution.

Lab 12: 12 Ticks
.

Lab 13: 13 Ticks
.

Lab 14: 15 Ticks
.

Lab 15: 29 Ticks
Using more clones can save time. Using a 2nd penguin in the first part saves 2 extra ticks.

Lab 16: 25 Ticks
Should be optimal.

Lab 17: 28 Ticks
The best possible ticks is 28


Lab 18: 104 Ticks
Not really sure what I was supposed to do here. Problem is that the blocks in front of the door are always blocking the path and when you use teleporter in the end you can't reach the red field.


Lab 19: 41 Ticks
.

Lab 20: 26 Ticks
.

Lab 21: 249 | 162 Ticks
Optimizing this is quite hard, when you use more than 1 penguin they always run into each other / push the block of or one gets stuck. My first solutions had a lot of unnecessary arrows. To get to this one took quite some time.

I found a 27 Tick solution for Lab 20: https://i.imgur.com/Alq1tPp.png

so updated #9,10 which are faster because of instant block teleport

Fixed. I had messed up a line of code again D:

the portal.
lab 8 and 11 solution. look at 8 first.
Paul D.  [developer] 25 Jan, 2021 @ 8:04am 
The portal or teleporter? In which level?
Ikarus  [author] 25 Jan, 2021 @ 7:55am 
@paul it is just weird that it doesn't trigger every time the penguin runs over it
Paul D.  [developer] 25 Jan, 2021 @ 7:55am 
Yep, sorry, I changed without notifying :)
Ikarus  [author] 25 Jan, 2021 @ 7:46am 
the teleporter change actually destroyed some of the solution in #8, #9, #10, #11
Ikarus  [author] 25 Jan, 2021 @ 7:38am 
so yeah found 28 for 17 ;)
and moved the teleporter
