WA Community Challenge 1 (FINISHED, RESULTS UP)

yot yot5 · Post by **yot yot5** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 3:20 pm

I was playing Bloons Tower Defense 5 a while ago, and I discovered a Youtube video of somebody who made his own Community Challenges. This gave me the EPIC idea of WA Community Challenges (or WACC for short).

The idea is simple: Every week I (or somebody else, just ask!) post a small challenge of something you need to create. For example, I may ask you to make the hardest adventure you can in a 10X10 area. Or I may want you to make the longest adventure possible in the weekly time limit.

The following week, I post all the entry adventures and have you guys play them. You rate them 1-10, and whoever gets the highest average score wins! There probably won't be any prize, but who cares about that? (It's taking part that counts

)

Any comments/complaints/ithinkyouarecrazys?

Sounds like a great idea, Yotyot! I'm not really sure if I'll be able to participate though, because I usually take my time designing adventures. I can try though. :3

There should be a jury, featuring few stable members and the winner of last challenge. The winner chooses the next challenge and cannot take part in it, because he's a judge.

Also, I think that it should be two week challenge, so there's enough time to make really nice entries. I don't think that there should be a limit of entries per member. If you have three nice short adventures, post them all, so we can really choose best one.

Maybe teamwork category also? We don't have many level made by teams on the forum, so we can motivate people to join their forces in adventure making.

I agree, the creator of the challenge shouldn't be able to take part in it. I also think that we should let all players rate the entries EXCEPT THEIR OWN.

So when does it start?

Didn't they do contests for RTW like this?

Even if they did, what's wrong with making WA competitions?

I never said there was anything wrong with it.

How about now?
WA Community Challenge 1: Anti-Time Attack!
By Yot Yot5
OBJECTIVE: Make the longest adventure in a single 6X6 area. This might seem simple at first, but if you just think about it you can add loads of extra time to a very simple layout!

RULES:
1: I will play the adventure as fast as I possibly can and read off the result from the game (shown at the end of the adv).
2: Don't use any hex-edited objects, anything that has a dialogue, buttons/gates, monsters with a speed less than +0, fireflowers, fire traps, or alternating bridges.
3: THERE ARE NO MORE RULES!!! Just make this adventure the longest, most boring one ever!

Please PM me finished entries so I can play and time them. The winner will be announced on the 15th of June and be asked to create WACC2. When I announce the winner, I will also post the entries for all of you to play (but they probably won't be very interesting...).

Is using my randomizer allowed? And is there only one .wlv or whatever the level files are called?

Eeeesh, no one even remembers my randomizer. I feel like I wasted my time on that. http://www.pcpuzzle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23752

Sure, you can use that! Just make sure the components will fit in a 6X6 area.

QUESTION: Do General Commands count as buttons in this contest?

EDIT: And are you allowed to use Metatiles?

He said no Hex-Edited objects, so I was wondering if tilesets counted too.

If you hadn't said that your plans were revealed, then we never would have known in the first place, sooo....

to be honest, this idea was so crazy and evil...

NOTHING hex-edited, including metatiles.

NOTHING in the button objectset.

Hmm, well this isn't fun like I expected.

You need to be a bit less vague on the rules next time, and try to include all the rules in one post, too.
I'll just release my "entry" to the public instead.

Done, PMing...
