Well, you get Oracle by making three supertrisms in three seperate moves. I'm not sure if it was a bug or not, but was there any extraneous slides or matches (supertrisms should not make a slide unless there is a hole next to them)? Because the program might be picky and only accept it if they were not done with matches or slides on the same turn you did the Oracle. I'm not sure - Oracle was one of the only achievements I did accidentally.

That's a weird problem, and I've never heard of it before. What version are you on?

No there wasnt any slides, I did them all in 3 seperate moves.
Now I'm wondering though if you make a super trism and nothing else moves it doesn't count as a move when there's a bomb.
I think that might be the problem couse one if the 3 was a super trism that made nothing else move so it wouldn't count as a saperate move.
Is it possible that that is the problem??

Well the moves have to be one after another, so 3 consecutive moves. You can't starwalk/move a black trism at all, even if it doesn't make a match, that counts as a move.

Also another thing that might have happened is a double gap at the end of one of the moves? You can't tilt to fill in that double gap, or that counts as a move too, unless it creates a supertrism.

And sliding trisms don't matter in getting oracle, you just have to be sure a supertrism is made in that turn. And once everything stops moving, another supertrism has to be made.

That doesn't sound like it'd be the problem.

Ah ok, I starwalked so that's the problem. It already seemed to easy making 3 supertrisms in a row :-( .

Yup that's why then. It has to be completely consecutive. And starwalking counts. Keep trying, you'll get it.

I usually wait till two get lined up, do them, and them hope and look around for the third one. Or If I see one is set-up and ready for one, I set a second one up and then hope for a third one.

Sliding trisms shouldn't count in the oracle, but once I had a slide which ruined my Oracle when it should have given me one..., so usually it should not matter, but sometimes it bugs.

you probably had a double gap at the end of a chain that slid after the move was over.

Well I don't remember well, but that was probably it.

btw, what is the official name for a double gap? two-hole? double gap? unstable hole?

btw 2, did you steal those trillion point combos from the US thread and put in your database?

Ok I'll adopt that. But Kamikaze uses "unstable hole", which is just as good...

Ok I'l be waiting. Thanks.
