That's the dark side of using randomness, it can create frustrating\/unfair patterns. Of course, in such a short amount of time, it is the most simple solution to generate a level, but I think the next step would be to have distinct \"fire-only\" blocks that gives you a little bit of warmth, so using a \"random\" one would be a choice (and not a constraint ^^).\n\nAnyway, I had a good time digging with my little iceskimo (I love the name btw), good job !","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":653757,"author_name":"DS Nahogara","author_uid":"ds-nahogara","epoch":1619560428,"text":"![gem.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/fa0\/72\/z\/40f70.png)\n\nFantastic little game!!
