Welcome to 28th C contest: DeliveryB0Y!

Rules:
This is a role-playing contest!
You are a delivery boy and you need to deliver a package to the Big Blue (the portal area). But remember: time is money. Neatness is money too.


The package consists of a dillo in a rubber square with some matirials attached to it. Every matireal has it's price:

Code: Select all
Metal bar:     $1000
Metal plate:   $2000
Elastic piece: $3000


Level is finished when level simulation is stoped. Dillo must be in rubber square!


Your finial score is (level budget left) - (price of all destroyed pieces).

Piece can be destroyed
1) By timer
2) By disconnecting from the rubber square

If piece is still connected to rubber square it counts delivered.

EXAMPLE:
You finish the level in 17,5 seconds and have 22300$ left only.
The missing parts are 4 metal bars and 3 metal plates.
So your score is

22300 - 4*1000 - 3*2000 = $12300

WOW ff!! what a novel idea, although I was expecting dill to be in a box with other things also IN the box, this makes much more sense.

EDIT: Damit!! no rockets! D:

25,000+

When the dillo dissapears it breaks one of the bars. Does that count against my score?
If not, then 26,000+

It actually goes off at like 9.1 seconds or something... Its' really weird.

I think yours is broken o.O

The only odd thing i've noticed is that you need to get the dillo to the portal in about 4 seconds because the timers still run after the dillo is teleported off

I don't have a clue how you're doing it for 27000+. 26,500 is my best

9 seconds I guess....

Kind of hard to see I guess...

The clock stops when the dillo exits the portal. But the timers keep going for an extra second. This means that you need to get the dillo to exit the portal at 9.0 in order for the 10s timer to not go off

Yes, it counts against your score.

I forgot that it keeps showing stuff for a second after dillo dissapears... So I'm just being an idiot. I'm not sure if what FF said means you need to get to the portal in 4 seconds though...

EDIT: Blah. You were posting while I was posting. I would have double posted anyways. My solution is definitely 27000+ though.
