[@Alicyndaquil]

I'm sure someone else said it already, but In the third challenge level the reason it didn't work the first time is because you made "Baba is flag and win", and because Baba is now a flag, it's no longer Baba so It's no longer win.

[@marp_625]

Please come back to this man, this is a fun series that would be nice to see completed.

[@fullmoonshadow6967]

Pretty sure this was forgotten, unfortunately.

[@GummieI]

7:36 Reason that don't work is because "Baba IS flag AND win" turns all baba's insto flags, but it is baba that is win as well, flags are NOT win, there is no "flag IS win" In other words "Baba IS flag AND win" would be the same as "Baba IS flag" and "Baba IS win" but since in either case you turns all babas into flags there is no babas left for you to win on

[@had0j]

if you press esc (resume) the game doesnt state the rules as ''baba is flag and win'' instead it says ''baba is flag baba is win'' so that may be useful

[@gustersavon]

I always love watching Matt puzzle through the levels in such a validating way

the programming that must have gone into this game

I don't even think the programming is the worst part here, but coming up with the levels and the gimmicks. Once that was done, the coding was probably easy enough.

The continued reading of DEFEAT as DEATH, really gets to me.

[@SquishyMoony]

why is he still calling it death when it is DEFEAT 😭😭

[@GummieI]

Yeah someone need to give him some english lessons xD, he clearly seem to need that xD

[@A12683]

He's not saying death, he's saying Def. Which's phonetic writing of death, and that's the joke.

[@therookiegamer2727]

defeat implies that the level is instantly failed, death is more in line with the actual functionality of the defeat rule

[@BlackSoap361]

I buy games very rarely, but your videos convinced me to buy Baba is You. My kids love it. None of us have beaten it yet.

[@raymanbest]

It's a shame you didn't continue with this series.

[@phantomy2034]

Engineer is clever No seriously, a couple of these, I NEVER saw ANYONE solve the way you did! I myself didn't even think of those!

[@jeffreyblack666]

When you have an expression of the form A is B and C, that is the same as A is B, and a separate statement that A is C. But if B is a noun like "flag" this means A will become B, and thus no longer be A and thus the "and C" wont apply to it. So BABA is FLAG and WIN means BABA is FLAG, and BABA is WIN. That doesn't mean FLAG is WIN, so going to the flag doesn't make you win. But BABA is OPEN and WIN means BABA is still BABA, so you can go into BABA and WIN.

[@suangel007]

As an engineering student, I love the miniatures of these baba videos 😂 They always pull me into the video

[@crysheart]

Don't know if anyone wants to know, but in the 7:40 Bonus Level, the reason "Baba is Flag and Open" didn't work is because it works more like "Baba is Flag" AND "Baba is Open". Since Flag is not Baba, Flag is not open.

[@Aeroxima]

I haven't seen that solution yet on the 4 challenge one. Usually what I see people do (and what I did) is push a big long string of letters to the 3rd one. I think this one was the better one

[@RTMaster1]

I wonder how long it will take until he realizes that that word is called defeat

[@ghostderazgriz]

11:05 I'm guessing (haven't played the game) the reason this worked is because YOU as an entity can push words but STOP prevents objects and words from moving any further so they instead stack on the same space. Maybe, I don't know lol.

[@phantomy2034]

The reason it worked is because Baba does not have the "STOP" or "PUSH" property, allowing the text to overlap with Baba. A similar solution is used in the base level, "Prison".

[@amosbatalden5871]

No, the order of rules isn’t why that happens. I think you’re thinking of it the wrong way: every object can share a tile with as many other objects as you can move to that tile. Text natively has push but not stop. Push means that if an object would be moved into the tile where another object is, the two objects move together. “You” just means that an object with you moves with the arrow keys. It doesn’t have “push” so it is basically an empty tile if it’s not moving.

[@edvardskalva]

[@Taolan8472]

A morning person? What kind of Engineer is a morning person? That's Architect talk.

[@ShockRox]

1:20 the phrase you’re looking for is: BABA IS YOU *AND* WIN

[@iveharzing]

At 7:30 , the rules were like this: - Key is You - Baba is Flag - Baba is Win So Baba turned into the Flag, and Flag isn't win, so you didn't win. At 7:43 , the rules were like this: - Key is You - Baba is Open - Baba is Win So Baba is win, so you did win when "You" touched Baba. I guess it was mostly confusing because it wasn't clear how the word "and" worked. If you're ever unsure what the current rules are, you can always press 'Esc', and the rules are there, listed in the pause menu.

[@youtubeburner6218]

11:04 you just accidentally figured out the level I was stuck on. What even happened?

[@ТарасДубинин]

Sandwiched WALL IS STOP betwen two Babas, pushed WALL into one Baba, then moved down so that Baba pushed IS STOP away from WALL. Similar to non-extra version of the level, but with two Babas instead of a strategically placed Keke. Trivia: this level was originally a normal level, and was turned into an extra and replaced with an easier verison after players kept saying it's too hard.

[@iveharzing]

@@ТарасДубинин I think I finally understand that now! Because Baba isn't "Push" or "Stop", you're allowed to push text on top of it!

[@unu9651]

I remember doing that level. I made both BABA is YOU and KEKE is YOU and I did sooo much finicky movement to pull it off. RCE definetly found the easier way here.

"FLAG IS ROCK" would have worked, it's just crossed out because "FLAG IS FLAG" stops the flag from turning into other objects. It doesn't stop you from forming rules using AND.

Baba is flag is win didn’t work because flag isn’t win, baba is

[@TrueNargin]

You are starting to get that but I can see you're still kinda hanging on to your presumptions about objects. Theere is no difference between a cog, a robot, a Baba, a tile of water, a moon or a crab unless there's sentences in the level that give them different properties. So if you made two cogs instead of two robots - unless the level has unchangable rules that make the solution possible with only one of those - that doesn't matter in the slightest. Objects are only there to serve as groups of tiles to give them different properties with sentences and have no innate properties.

[@amosbatalden5871]

To be fair, I would rather have a robot than a cog because it’s so much easier to tell which direction a robot is facing.
