Welcome tot the 152nd B contest: BudgetSpeed

- Messed up the rules again.

- The contest has nothing to do with affordable drugs :wink:

- I stole Sendai's grid from the loops contest :roll:

- In order to win you must find the best ballance between time and money

- Your score is the money you have left minus your time
If you have $2000 left and your time is 15.00 you score 2000-1500=500 points (so you just forget the decimal point in the time)
If you have $1000 left and your time is 9.00 you score 1000-900=100 points

- You are not allowed to talk about your money left or your time, only the points you scored.

- The level solves itself, just press start. You begin with $2472 and the solution takes 24.72 seconds. That means you have 2472-2472=0 points

- The best ultralight solution wins

- The contest ends 25/8/9 @ 2200 gmt
GMT Time link: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

- Submissions by pm

- Naming convention is:[the Points you Scored]-[Your ForumName]-[SolutionName]

Hope you all like it, succes

It's okay,

The grid took 2 seconds to make in AR Edit.

Also: What is a good method for keeping time? I do not own a stopwatch.

EDIT: Oh my goodness, there's a stopwatch feature built into AR. You learn something new every day! 500+ :lms:

Nice contest Rob, there should be a big range in the scores and lots of different solutions. I just got a score but it needs loads of tweaking.

550+ :lms:

I do hope to see a lot of variation in this one, glad you like it.

I hope my launcher, from previous competition will help you

When I uploaded it I didn't know, that this competition is the same as previous, but it's good, because I will not compete, but you will have possibility to tweak it on maximum.
Good luck! :twisted:
