Here's a suggestion on how to symbolize the "rooms" on paper, so you don't have to screenshot every single room: (
I strongly suggest doing it on paper, it'll go MUCH faster, and you won't get so confused between trees and paths if you write the trees in "gray"!)
A (or upside-down V) - straight
C - path that curves like a C
D (or backwards C) - curves the opposite way of C
S - path that curves like an S
Z - path that curves like a Z
O - clearing
2 or a Y - tree with 2 branches (if your 2s look like Zs, use y, since "y" looks like that tree)
3 - tree with 3 branches (or just draw a tree with 3 branches)
4 - tree with 4 branches (or just draw a tree with 4 branches)
ex) for my first room, it was CSSCS. My clearing room was AZOyA
Number the first room (1). Click the left-most path. Number the new room (2).
- Click the left-most unknown path
- If it's a new room, write it down with a new number, and under the path that you took, write down that number
- If it's a room that you have already, write the number of that room under the path that you took.
- Make your way to the highest-numbered room for which you have an unlabeled path. (If it's an old room, this usually means you want to get back to the last room you were at. If it's a new room, stay there.)
- Click on the left-most unknown path....
(repeat)
The vines part had 20 rooms for me. The meepits had 30 rooms.
The 4th step takes advantage of the following fact: If there is a path from room A to room B, then there is a path from room B to room A. Going to the highest unlabeled path de-tangles the map and leds to nice consecutive-number paths. On my vine map, I had a nice string that went
Code: Select all
9) 4 D y 4 S
10 8
10) C 3 3 4 S
9 11
11) A 4 Z 4 3
12 10
12) A 4 3 Z 4
13 11
There's also another way you can use this to your advantage: to check your answers. If they don't match up, check to make sure you didn't repeat a room listing.
Be careful about not flipping the Ss and Zs, and the Cs and Ds!! In the meepits map, lots of rooms looked very similar.
