Tower Contest
What? A contest that hasn't been thought of yet? Indeed. Well, I hope everyone is not worn out from the past few contests, because here comes another one! Yes! A tower contest!
Winner: UnknowVector
Objective
The object of this contest is to create the most innovative, ingeneous, and cunning tower possible. I want to see the imaginary, the strange, and possibly even the wacky. I just might kill anyone that submits a basic arrow tower. So, pull out your real brain for this one, because it's not going to be a piece of cake!
Rules
1. Thou shalt not steal each other's work.
2. Thou may use systems in this contest.
3. Thou may code in either GUI or JASS.
4. Thou shalt be able to use imported models/textures/etc.
5. Thou shalt make thy tower testable against creeps.
6. Thou shalt not whine.
7. Thou shalt have fun.
Winnings
Yes. The meat. What do you get if you manage to complete this wondrous feat? Well, the only thing that matters on this forum. Some +rep from me personally, PurgeandFire, Daxtreme, as well as anyone else who feels so inclined. Dax will also +rep the second place.
Gradings
Grading Assistant: PurgeandFire
So, you want to know how the contest will be graded? Well, listen up!
The contest will be out of 100 points. Here's the breakdown:
Tower Art
How nice does your tower look? Does it have anything attached to the model that applies? Is it the right size? Would it fit in with other towers nicely?
Points Possible: 10
Special Effects
What do the projectiles look like? If it doesn't use projectiles, what kinds of eye candy does it have? What do its abilities look like when used? Is it noticeable?
Points Possible: 10
Adhereance to Theme
Does your tower fit the contest? Would it be applicable in a Tower Defense map? Is it innovative? Does it incorporate new ideas that have never been seen before?
Points Possible: 20
Coding Efficiency
Do your tower's trigger-enhanced abilities work as intended? Are all the leaks eliminated? Is it done in the best way possible? Are there any errors?
Points Possible: 40
Balance
Does your tower have the right amount of power? Is it not just an "ownage device"? Is it actually viable in a TD map?
Points Possible: 10
Implementation
Is it easy to incorporate your tower into a map? Could the common sea slug follow your instructions?
Points Possible: 10
Total Points Possible: 100
Deadline: 2 Weeks From Now
Date: August 18
Entrants:
I will post a leaderboard that tracks the current entrants and their positions. It will be an Excel document. I will also post all gradings in that format, as you can see. Comments will be kept separate.
FURTHERMORE, I have been provided with a demo map created by AoW_Hun7312 that is available for anyone to download and use with their tower. All it does is give you a blank TD template in which to create your tower. Use it if you want; it is not required. Thanks AoW_Hun7312!
