The Matacus Design Contest#1 (2006-09-07 - 2006-09-14 21:00)
Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2006 8:45 pm
We have been discussing having a design contest and now I think it is time for a first try in this direction.
That's why I now announce
The Matacus Design Contest #1
Rules:
Very simple, this time the levels should be as mechanically ingenious as possible. I'm thinking of triggers, engines, devices, etc. Examples of such levels are:
Rube Goldberg's Revenge
UnpossibleMission
Clepsydra
The levels do not have to be as big as Clepsydra, of course. Try to avoid timers since it could be considered more technical to use some kind of construction instead.
Only make spectator levels this time.
Use this name scheme for your levels: Matacus_I-[LevelName]-[YourForumName]
Example: Matacus_I-JawsOfSteel-snowlord
Send your submissions to matacus@internetlab.org before Thursday September 14th, 21:00 GMT.
The winner will be decided by voting. Either by making a poll in this forum or by sending your votes by mail. The question will be: "Which level is most mechanically ingenious?". More on this later.
If there is interest in this kind of competition, the next round will be hosted by the winner of this one (I want to compete too!).

Good luck!
(OK, how much was understandable of that?)
EDIT: Corrected the date in the subject. It's September now and nothing else! I hope this causes no trouble...
