ARF Contest A #4 (2006-08-20 to 2006-08-23 19:00 UTC)

[Weasel497]

Back on topic: I have gotten a score of 1700+

[.ch]

My score is surprisingly better than I thought I could do!

[Weasel497]

I'd like to hear peep's replies about scores, I think I'm doing good... Oh, might want to send my level in... silly me.

[protest boy]

OK in the spirit of generating some high scores...

$1800+ has been achieved. Light.

Is there going to be some sort of prize for most novel/interesting solution?

Some of the solutions to the last few comps have been a scream I think it should be rewarded.

[BioDroid]

I think the current contest host should decide who deserves this kind of medal

[Ogre]

I have a feeling someone will end up with an equal score this time. Perhaps Im wrong.

I can see the top force solutions being very similar. There's not a lot of variation possible from what I can see. But there is a $4 cheaper solution than my best one that seems like it ought to work, but I can't find just the right tweak. And though it's not over until tomorrow, I probably won't have any more time to work on it, so my likely final solutions have been mailed. So I hope if I don't win the dark medal, I lose by more than $4

Also, my light solution is less than $30 away from my force solution. So good luck figuring out what I have!

[?rjan Flatseth]

My light solution is 26 better than the dark one. There is theoretically room for improovement in both thrower and catcher, but it will be hard. Too hard. Perhaps not possible.

[BioDroid]

My solutions are sent. I also suspect we gonna get some identical solutions here...

[?rjan Flatseth]

Mine are also sent. I guess it will be pretty identical solutions among the top scores, but perahps a litle difference in the catcher will make the winner?

My light solution is 26 better than the dark one. There is theoretically room for improovement in both thrower and catcher, but it will be hard. Too hard. Perhaps not possible.

That's completely opposite of me, as my dark solution is 26 better than my light one. Perhaps it is the other way around? If so there certainly may be a tie, maybe even 3 or 4 people

[?rjan Flatseth]

Thats a very mystefystificational coincidence! It is correct as I said. Light solution 26? better than the less cheap dark energized one

[protest boy]

Hmm, now I'm full of anticipation. I thought my light solution was pretty darn good but I just made a dark solution $40 cheaper!

Interested to see these solutions.

[darkcatalyst]

I'm sure this is answered somewhere, but is there a winner for both "light" and "dark" solutions, or merely for the highest score?

And while I'm getting clarification - a "light" solution is one that doesn't make use of any odd physics bugs, correct? While "dark" is the opposite?

If so, hopefully "light" 1800+ stands a chance...but I doubt it, since you guys are ridiculous with this game. Anyway, best of luck, almost deadline time.
