ARF Contest rules synopsis:
- To participate, you must submit your solution(s) (*.lvl file) to the email address provided in the contest thread before the cutoff time.
- You can (and are encouraged to) create multiple solutions. The best one will count, but all that are sufficiently different from one another will be included in the .zip. However, please don't send in many successive iterative improvements to the same general idea. Rather, wait until you believe you have fully explored and tweaked one path before submitting. (However, a few updates are OK)
- Name your solutions like this: [DollarsRemaining]-[YourForumName]-[SolutionName,optional], for example: 5866-PeterT-OverTheTop
- During the contest, you may not talk about the level or your solution in any way, except making very general remarks (i.e. "Nice level!") or posting your current score. However, it is also allowable to bluff - that is, post scores you have not yet reached.
- The best light solution(s) will win, i.e. solutions that do not use any bugs in the physics engine. This includes any form of overlapping materials with endnodes and "the force" that is generated by them in specific configurations. It also includes having the armadillo go outside the level boundaries to fall through solid obstructions. Dark solutions, like solutions with perpetual motion paddles or exploding pieces by intersecting materials and endnodes, will win the Dark Force prize if they score higher than the best light solution.
(To be clear: welding is ok and not considered using "the force".)
