[Contest] Tower Contest - Winner Announced

> Oh, and Tower MUIness is part of the grading, right?

Yes. That will be a factor in the Coding part.

> Also the looks, right?

Definitely. Tower Art.
 
> I meant the Effect art, eye candy

Yep. Special Effects category.
 
OK, here goes.

My 'tower' is actually a unit called the Herald of the Tides. The Herald can only be built on the path of the creeps. It is ordered to move back and forth along the path and causes a swell of water to form in its wake. When creeps walk through the water, they are slowed as if wading through a river with a strong current.

I included two levels of this 'tower' and they are shown in the screenshot as the Water Elemental model and the Sea Elemental model.

Alright, here's my tower!

The Fungus Tower!

The fungus tower raises fungi from the enemy corpses. These fungi rot the living and root enemies to the ground.

Strengths: Can hold enemies still, and even block the enemies if placed correctly!

Weaknesses: Doesn't affect air and magic immune units! Weak against magic resistant units!

Yes, I made sure this idea was OK with Ghan_04 before proceeding.

I love your idea! So creative that elmst questions it!

Oh jeeze, maybe I should've scanned over the point dispersion before posting...40 points for coding? Ouch...oh well, as long as I think my tower is cool, the world is a shining place for me! :p

I question you acquisition >_<

Naw, I just was worried he'd totally suck grading wise if he used a unit.
My tower is coming along nicely >_>
Actually all I have done is the dummy ability. :p
 
1)ark_Knight shalt join.

If its not to late to enter the contest, count me in :D
I like the idea of this contest, its cool. I love TD's too :p

I should have my tower in in about a day or two.

Sometimes that can be the hardest thing to make! At least, it was for me and my shrooms!

Anywho, I'm gettin off here, and won't be back till the 18th. Goin to my cousin's wedding, and I gotta prepare for the trip!

Good luck to everyone that enters, and good job to whoever wins!

Added.
 
you know what is kinda awesome, is that all of the towers have been of a different element so far
Ice- check
Water- check
Fungus/Grass- check
Light- check
Blood- check
Darkness- check
Sheep- Check

somewhat interesting, no?
 
Are you suggesting that TheHelper.net pools its efforts to make a crazy insane element TD where Sheep is an element?
 
Pride, dignity, respect?
lol :p
The grades are public, so don't screw up too bad.
OR are they?

Hmmm.....

Pride....why would I want that?
Dignity....left after I mooned some people on my way up North
Respect....Does anyone here honestly respect me? I'm wondering :eek:

:p

EDIT: Oh, and if I am having trigger issues (which I always do) I can still make a topic on the forum asking for help right? :D

  • The Helper The Helper:
    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    I will have to get used to this.
