Okay, here's mine. It's still a bit buggy on the footprint end and I ran out of steam when it came to write descriptions for mud, but the basics are there, and it's solvable.

I'm still trying to figure out why sometimes the mud-prints will get out of sync and show the wrong rooms - I think it's just showing the room that the dog is currently in, regardless of where you are when you look at the mud. It only does it sometimes, though, so it's baffling.

Here's my version of the footprints puzzle. It's probably not the best, but it has some interesting features and coding. Enjoy!

Since it's coming up to a month since the start of the footprints task, I believe it's probably time for a new task. I have two more ideas for the next coding task.

1. Russian dolls - Puzzles including scenarios where there is a container inside another container or a supporter inside another supporter.

2. Public transport simulator - Puzzles where a bus, train turns up at regular intervals with the player being able to hop on and the driver going to the next stop or even a taxi where you can tell the driver where to go next.

I'll leave the rest for you to decide.

I'll vote for the second - if only because I already have some code for that. My footprints code has vanished, it seems :-/

Did you check the folder where all the source code and stuff is kept? A copy might still be around there somewhere.

My default folder is a Dropbox folder, and until this, that's worked splendidly; however, there must have been a glitch somewhere, because it's vanished. I searched the original computer, but it was gone. Usually, I copy everything to a different folder before letting Dropbox sync, but I was in a rush, so I skipped it. Lesson learned, I guess.

The coding tasks appear to have gone dormant recently. Are there any more entries for this task? If not, then it may be time for a new task.
