How do I beat “Mr. T is hanging around”?

Question

Try as I might, I just cannot get "Mr. T" to swing far enough to let my little ball pass under. How do I do it?

Answer

Spoilers (obviously):

Place a pin on one side of the T and hang a large weight off of it. Click on the ball to kick it right.

How to clear the stage selection area on Crayon Physics Deluxe?

Question

I bought this game on HumbleBundle and I let my eight years old neice to play it for a while. However, she drew many ugly looking stuff on the stage selection area (inside the first island).

I tried to clear it with the right mouse button, but it deleted the drawing that came with the game too :-( I also tried to start a new game, but that area remained painted with my neice's drawings.

How can I clear the stage selection area restoring the original paintings that were there when I first installed the game?

Answer

I finally found a solution. I found another folder used by the game and deleted it, that cleared the stage selection area. The folder I had to delete is (I'm using Windows 7 64 bits):

C:\Users\<<My Username>>\AppData\Roaming\Crayon Physics Deluxe

Now I have a clear stage selection area again!

What are pins and how do I draw them?

Question

In Crayon Physics Deluxe, I can't draw more than one object or click the ball to get my solution to count as "elegant", but I can draw pins.

What are pins and how do I create them?

Answer

Pins are small circles that act as pivots or rotational points. To draw one, simply draw a very small circle. If you do it right, it will turn into a small, animated circle. You can then draw other objects (like hammers) which will rotate via gravity.

Attaching an object to two pins makes it completely unmovable, or as far I have seen.

What affects your “pass grade” in Crayon Physics Deluxe?

Question

After solving the first few levels in Crayon Physics my "world map" looks like this:

It appears I earned two flags on the first level, one flag on the following two, no flag for the fourth, then I earned two flags and... a ball.

Is that just cosmetic, or does it depend on how well I did? If so, how can I improve this score?

Answer

Those are cosmetic. Only the stars count. You can improve your score by finishing a round in one of the following ways.

1. Hole in one - for this, you have to get the star by drawing a single line
2. Old School, and - for this, you shouldn't touch the ball or draw any pins
3. Awesome - the user marks a solution "awesome".

You can look for some sample solutions on youtube walkthroughs for each. :)
