[Contest] Tower Contest - Winner Announced

Reaction score

Mine has three triggers, everyone of them is easily modifiable, but rather limited as the max size of arrays is kinda low.

As if the map has 10 players, each has 50 of my towers..

10*50 = 500
8192/500 = is about.. 15.8 or so..

So the maximum for one unit array thing would be around 15..

Yeap.. I limited structure arrays to 10. So there won't be any problems with them. Even if some structure wasn't destroyed, it wouldn't cause serious problems in the codes.

I thought of the idea randomly, made it in about 30 min, made the map and the spawns n stuff in another 30 min, then got bored n doodled with the map for about an hour and added sounds and upgrades to the tower,felt like makeing them be stackable, etc. and then posted it with a screenshot..

It actually is 16.38 or somewhat like that. Thus you will have 16. And I don't really understand what you're meaning...
16 fields per unit?
And what do you need 16 fields per unit for?

And yes my tower wouldn't have taken that long either but I simply had to go to the other habitation ( from where I am just typing this message, fyi ) where I got only my laptop that runs SuSE linux 10.2 as OS and thus cannot handle DirectX ( damned Microsoft... ). I did not know that I'ld have to go here over the weekend, but things turned a bit today - thus I got exactly... Hmm.... I need to think... Ah yes, exactly 0 minutes and 0 seconds for my tower to spend ; )

But here was my idea ( fyi ): Making a battleships TD with all towers representing an item
I figured out to use 3.5b as base for my weapons, and I wanted to include combines ( yep tower combines, but both towers are changed to another - yet combining costs much more ;D )
Attacking creeps are simply battleships units - more and more. And it would be a two team TD with empire upgrades (that the empire upgrades itself after each level, increasing hp, speed and defense of the creeps and hp, regeneration and defense of the towers. ). And whereas at the beginning only rowboats are spawned, they change slowly to battleships and then to cruisers.
I'll make a complete one in a few months ;P

> Also, Ghan. Tomorrow is the last day, right?

Yes. I will start grading tomorrow. Make sure you have them in by then.

> Will you tell us who has won by then, or does the rating start tomorrow?

I will grade each section and post the results. That way, you can easily see who is in the lead after each section. I'll probably have the grades done relatively quickly.

Ill see what if I can rush my tower in, but I'm going somewhere all tonight and I've still got a 2 fairly simple things to do and an annoying bug to shoot.

Do teachers want the assignment at the end of the day? :p Nope, I will post to announce that I will not be taking any further submissions. And then I will start grading. Barring all emergency OMG, WE HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE circumstances, I will have the first category graded in, I would guess, half an hour. I'm not planning on making you guys wait. But, I can't be 100% unfortunately. :rolleyes:

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
