MUGSI/SOLAR: Its Nintendo Hard.

From TV Tropes:

The difficulty of these games usually stems from a combination of factors:
Lots of enemies (or lots of bullets) that are hard to hit or dodge.
• Surprise attacks that can only be avoided by sheerest luck or memorizing their locations.
Malevolent Architecture that poses a constant danger of death even when the player proceeds as cautiously as possible.
• A hero who can survive very few hits — often dying from even the slightest scratch.
[b]• Lack of, or very few Check Points or Save Points.[/B}
• A limited number of lives and/or continues.
• No way to adjust the difficulty
• Losing all or most of your weapons/powerups when you die
Stiff, clunky, and perhaps somewhat unresponsive controls (but only when applied to the original 8-bit, 16-bit, and (to a small extent) 32-bit generations: in more modern games, it ceases to be expected and veers right into Fake Difficulty.)

O and btw thanks mac for giving the worst prof possible when their are clearly 2 other profs for the same class that dont conflict with my sched and they actually speak proper english. Screw solar, mugsi, UTS, avenue everything electronic thats associated with mac. No wonder the comp sci program at mac has like 2 ppl in it....they cant even run the Mac website properly what a joke
The Computing and Software department doesn't handle McMaster's online systems afaik. By the way, it's 50 people each year in to Computer Science I.

honestly if u keep trying u will get in
yea it's frustrating but eventually u will get in
i been constantly going on solar to see if a course opens up and i never had a problem
so i dont know what's so hard
sometimes it takes a while but sometimes u get lucky and get on after few minutes
there's ALOT less people on mugsi now so just keep trying

I'd think it's safe to say that news media across the globe will soon be reporting:
"Girl breaks world record in Tetris 10 fold as she waits for Solar to open."

All of you people complaining seriously need to look at the things you are doing. If you are constantly clicking on SOLAR you WILL get IN .. iv been through it 3 times now. The majority of you are surfing the net / playing games n complaining that MUGSI/SOLAR is inefficient. To an extent it is, & I do agree with that, but you need to play the part of taking a stance n just concentrating on wht ur doing for once. I don't mean to be harsh.. but that's just how it is. If you keep trying, you'll get in.
