Replication is a form of flattery. I'm sure Lisk will not have any objections to what you're doing, I just find it would be considerate and polite if you speak with him. You can come by TDG's forums and talk with him whenever. Maybe you two can talk with one another about concepts and future...
After the announcement of Blizzard's contest we feel it would be best to cancel this contest and perhaps host it at another time.
Could a mod please un-sticky this post?
Various people have came to me through email to inform me that they would like to participate in the contest but there isn't enough time for them with these deadlines. Other people have told me that some of the changes with the most recent Beta Patch have also caused game breaking issues with...
You could just be a badass and convert the player's name to integers and then store those.
Example, "Steel" = 083116101101108
ASCII values in Decimal, leading zeros are required

Increased the prize pool by $10, I was annoyed with having an odd, $390 prize pool. This brings the pool up to $400.The varied placement prizes has been decided.
First Place: $200
Second Place: $125
Third Place: $75
Another week passes and a few more people have filled out participation...
Just like to say thanks to those individuals that have submitted their participation forms. I hope to see a surge in submissions over the next few weeks. Any questions or comments, feel free to post here or on our forums.
I'll look at it after work but here is something you should think about:
Do I want the recycle or the lookup method to be faster?
Usually a speed increase to the lookup is better to look for. Since you're processing an unsorted amount of data it becomes difficult to increase speed without a...
All your variables and triggers load with "Untitled <type>". Each function, variable, etc. Not sure if this is on my end, something like disallowing an imported library to generate variable names. Couldn't find anything in the preferences.
Ok, I tried to power through this with everything...
I did get that much working Sevion, but that isn't the ability to create a function. You're just writing the action code within the funciton.
You can't for example, write a function in that area because you're already inside of a function.

Took a little longer than I would have liked. Since I can't code custom script the math gets really annoying, so do loops. Anyway, it works for healthbars, I don't plan to extend it any further at this time but you get the...
I wrote something exactly like this in Wc3 called Floating Bars. Give me a few hours and Ill redo it.
It will be purely trigger based. Given that I can't directly code it, I get annoyed. I have to do it purely through the GUI.

I decided to bump the prize pool up to $190.
I also posted a section about the judges, so you people know who it is that will be looking at your maps.
Any questions or comments can be posted here or on our forums.
P.S. No chance of this getting stickied?
TH can and has hosted their own contests. I just wanted to get map makers thinking, get their ideas moving along and see what people can do. I'm trying to promote creative thinking.
There is no theme for the contest so how would you make it especially for the contest? You can do whatever you...
Submitting your map would be the easiest method. I understand people's reticent on submitting a map and we will not require it. We would however require you to host the game at some level. I'm a programmer by day and a mapper by night. I know how close some people hold their work to their...
