Physics Controversy

Metanet have stated that the new version of N would slightly alter the physics in an attempt to eradicate numerous bugs that currently exist in N 1.4. Predictably, changing the physics would completely break all previous demos and highscores. To counter this problem, a 'classic mode' has been suggested in order to preserve existing highscores runs and this idea has been seen as a favorable compromise for most players. The news of a physics update generated mixed responses from the community and highscorers at large who were going to lose years of hard work if not preserved. Every single player would also have to redo all levels in 1.5 version if they wanted to appear on the new highscore boards. This dilemma hasn't fully been resolved yet, but Metanet suggested doing a 1.5 version without any physics changes, and then a 2.0 version with all the changes.

Another controversial suggestion was the fixing of most of the bugs which have polarized the community, since most players and highscorers have adapted to these 'bugs' and don't consider them as a hindrance on the game. These 'bugs' include corner jumps, double & triple jumps on bounceblocks, and jumping up through one ways. Most of the players, (mainly the highscorers) think N would lose a lot of fun and challenge if these things were eradicated from the game and also believe that they are an element of the game now, and shouldn't be removed.

I don't think you understand how Wikipedia works. As your tutor I must say I am disappointed.
