[RELEASE] Test Chamber 74
Exactly, no portaling through the door, no portal bumbing through the last door. I define "cheating" as anything that was not intended to be possible based on the physics of the game. Portal bumping and portaling outside the map and so forth are glitches, not legitimate solutions.
Neither is using portals.

Well I actually didn't bump the last door on the least portals run. But I find it interesting that you don't mind item climbing.
Thank you, I knew there was something else I forgot to mention, item climbing.
So, I see the term "glitch" is synonymous with "cheating" for you =p.
With item climbing: add... 1 portal for the intro. Although I don't feel like spending two or three hours on cube bashing the room that I skipped, you could do it in zero portals.
I just don't feel like thinking about without it *shrug*. really just means adding a portal every time I used item climbing, since that's really all it does.
I'm with Jr on this. Anything that wasn't intended by the programmers IMO is cheating.
The glitches arn't cheating, it's abusing them to get a better score that is.

Thank you. You said it better than I did.
To be honest, I can remember one puzzle in my map where item climbing is the rather intended solution 
(percentage calculation sphere self-test failed!)
108.1% done, -8.1% remaining...
Released here!
All maps for Portal (1/2) worth playing are mirrored here.
Item climbing isn't an intended solution, but its a means of traveling without using portals. Like I said already, I'm just doing this stuff because it's possible. If you want to do a run that doesn't involve cheats, by all means do it. I'm not gonna say you suck because I have better ones, but I might speculate on how you could improve it.
I understand where you're coming from, I'm not saying that you shouldn't do that, I'm just saying that I wouldn't, I don't consider those types of solutions fun. But you have your way of running a map and I have mine, so to each his/her own.
