Should i just accept it and join in, in the fun.Is it the norm to weld and call it light :?:

by **?rjan Flatseth** » Wed Oct 11, 2006 8:31 pm

Yes, welding is officially declared as light in the holy book of ARFC

by **mark_man** » Wed Oct 11, 2006 8:36 pm

Will do ,TY for the support and help

Update on the at any cost speed I'm at <15sec's, light but well over budget

What about exploiting the (lack of) collision detection outside the normal boundries? Still light?

Yes it is still light as long as the armadillo isn't involved.

As an illustration - you may recall Bob's solution to level 3 of B competition #6 had a bit of boundary action; but is still considered light, since the armadillo itself was still colliding appropriately.

The Holy book ?rjan invokes can be found here:
http://armadillo.metaclassofnil.com/for ... .php?t=277

However, there are always 'borderline' cases which need to be addressed individually. For example, in ?rjan's solution to level 2 of the same competition:

The metal bars on the left were all on top of each other at the beginning. The rules clearly state that overlapping endpoints is a 'physics bug', and that using physics bugs in your solution makes it a dark solution.

However, kingofthespill (as the contest host) decided that even though ?rjan's solution did include a physics bug, it didn't really 'use' it, so ?rjan was still eligible for the light medal.

Well, I'm above you in the score... haven't tried for speed yet but my normall score's speed is double+ yours!

400+ is a very good score alot higher than me

by **dudiobugtron** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 12:48 am

Finally I got 400+!!!

took sooooo much tweaking. If I move *any* of my materials any distance at all, the whole thing will fall apart.

Check the 'competition rules' which are stickied in the A competition forum, to see an explanation of a 'dark' solution. it basically means using 'the force'.

by **mark_man** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 1:08 am

402+ for me

by **mikee7** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 1:38 am

Thanks for help! But i can't imagine how can someone finish this level with score over 300 without "force" :shock:

405+

(dark)
