-Taken from other thread to ensure people actually look here-
This will be a specific contest in that there will be only one type of script accepted. There are options for different skill levels just to be more fair-ish. Anyway, here are the details;
You must create a script to render a rope or string type object. You can use showpoly, showtext, showimages, and all that kind of stuff however you like, aslong as the script does actually render a rope-like object.
Entrants for the Easy Level just need to figure out a way to create, draw and drag the object.
Entrants for the Intermediate Level need to emulate inertia in the rope to simulate whip-like effects.
Entrants for the Advanced Level must incorporate the option for multiple weights attatched to the rope (affecting the inertia and movement of the rope).
Extra functions and visuals can be added and depending on niftyness and efficiency of code, this could help to add cool points to your script. The methods you use to render, and operate the rope is up to you, be creative!
As of yet, I'm thinking I should accept entries for the duration of a week. So send the script via
PM to Dach;GoZelda;ZeroTrack;calum (<- put that in the send to box) and USE CODE TAGS!! (I would prefer you using [ php] since it has the fewest obnoxious extra spaces). If your script won't fit within one PM or you do not have forum access, send me an
e-mail @ [email protected] I will send it to the other judges via PM or email (if they will allow the scripts to be sent to their e-mail). We won't accept any more entries after Wednesday, September 8 (unless extreme circumstances occur). We will try to have the results back soon thereafter.
Note: I will be out of town this weekend (yes, very bad timing on my part...) so please try to not rely on me sending your application to the other judges at that time. I am sorry for the inconvenience, but I am fairly confident it won't affect the judging time much.
sorry for the extra thread, I was told making a new thread with a catchy title would ensure that more people actually read this
