I like this idea.

@KillinTime: So basically, a misdirectional track.

But yeah, need moar ideas.

We'vev got a bunch of ideas from last time:

   Such as owly's all green tail manual
   In other words have the least possible blue and red lines but make it look like there is a lot of track using green lineas

8. JoaTrades wrote:I had an idea for something that is kind of like a maze contest but something a bit more interesting. It would be a .sol with about 50-100 random lines all over the place. The contestants have to make a track where bosh is effected in some way by each of those 50-100 lines. It could be either a contest for lowest line count or lowest runtime.

   Objective: Draw some lines ONLY in the draw box. You can move the startpoint anywhere fully in the draw box. (The draw box is the rectangle on the far left). You draw lines in the draw box to propel bosh through the course, and where he stops is the score you get.
   Rules:
   -No changing the track in any way
   -All lines drawn and start point must remain fully in the draw box.
   -You can do it offsled, but whatever score you get you get half the points as you would on sled.
   -If bosh stops on two scores (say, stuck on one of the seperators), you get both scores added.
   -If offsled, the score you get is where bosh stops, not the sled.
   -No mentioning score, technique, etc before contest ends. Ill have a leaderboard like the other contests, not giving away score.
   Thats it in a nutshell. Went successful before but the irtl pruning disaster kinda cancelled it. I aleady had a number of entries.
   EDIT: .sol: https://i.imgur.com/jumXx.png - this has been done last month right?

PENCIL TOOL BATTLE!

nuf' said

Track in a donut contest, since it never got complete last time we tried to have that.

^That sounds awesome actually.

all up Blue Y lines only track
/me kill's self now

but no, I've had a few ideas actually, they get sorta specific which kinda sucks, but even still. also some of the concepts may have been suggested before, but idk, so ya bla bla bla:

try and recreate a premade track (not very enjoyable, but still just an idea) difficult to judge but i suppose whoevers track, when overlayed ontop of the original, is closest, it wins.

using xxxx amount of lines, create a track in xx:xx amount of time, no green, use all lines. best track wins

similarly, using xxxx amount of lines, create the fastest track, no green, use all lines. fastest track wins

A ridiculously tall maze with a sharp turn and then a downward part.

don't mind the periods, because it won't let me do spaces properly

that's all i can remember right now.

Not just mis-directional, but optical illusions with scenery allowed as well.

Anyway so long as it isn't another friggen maze contest

speed to stall contest. let bosh fall for 10 seconds, then use as few lines as possible to bring him to a stall without making him crash

2 line kramual, win.

1 line kramual + hax, win.

lol no, but scg i like ur idea, but imo 20 seconds for the challenge

i really really like that idea

I like SCG's Idea the most so far. I think it would have some pretty interesting entries.

Yes! SCG's contest is fantastic, it can cause a lot of variation in tricks and would be very interesting to watch ^^

After opening LR and watching Bosh free fall, I think 8 seconds is a little more reasonable. He's going 31 pixels per frame; seems challenging enough for me.


Gonna make the poll tomorrow, so make your last minute suggestions!

ACwazHere wrote:31 pixels per frame

that's still within boundries of a 2line kramual. 14 seconds should do though.

Then we can just have a rule saying no kramuals, so the contest won't be extremely boring, y'know?

How about 8 seconds of freefall, no gwells, and all blue? Or no speed killing techniques, i.e. tumbling, the thing raf does at the end of sonic motion, etc.

Imo, at least no gwells, because you can make a stack of wells to kill speed fairly quickly, that's just boring. I wanna see mini tracks come out of this, not stacks of speedkilling wells/lines.

^ how about say you can use some specific things... Cause if you say "U cant use this", they're gonna use it another way or something

How about a climbing contest, you have to make bosh start at the bottom and make him stop at the finish line at the top. Basiclly you need to get bosh to the finish line as fast as posibale, thats the key rule.
