Hi just realized no one made entries for my competition over a month ago and changed deadline. Has anyone else ever had a competition that hasn’t had any entries?

Computer Game Coding Comp

Ummmmm… there are no entries. Dang it! New deadline is December 25th. @storys_r_us

I’m sure it’s not personal, maybe it’s because it’s very specific of the project you need to make and it’s a lot of work. I’ve noticed that people really only usually put a ton of effort if it’s an official comp.

[Awesome_E]

It’s always cool seeing spotlight effects in projects – I like it!

[Dragongirl1264]

i agree with starlight- maybe more people would join if the requirements were less specific.

[C_t]

Yeah you’re probably right

[C_t]

Changed requirements

[braynee202]

i’ve been thinking: what’s the minimum possible number of coins required to beat each level of the adventures of squaeyron? [i’m playing 0.1.0.126 beta]

here's my go at the first five levels:

level 1: 16/32 [50.00%]
level 2: 23/40 [57.50%]
level 3: 32/69 [46.37%]
level 4: 41/72 [56.94%]
level 5: 44/60 [73.33%]

proof that i completed these numbers:

[Cutelittlepuppydog]

hi i know this isnt directed to me but unrelated thank you for saying that i am a cool person :))

in your bio

bc this is out of context

[braynee202]

looks up from dying on level 6 an embarrassing number of times
why you’re welcome

[Crosbyman64]

There is no coin requirement, but it’s true that it’s impossible to beat a level without touching a coin.

For the stars you earn on each level: 1 is for beating the level, 1 is for no lives lost, and 1 is for all coins collected.

For levels with crystallized gems (future levels). You’ll need to collect all of them before you can complete the level (clear condition). You can see how this works via the Level Editor.

[Cutelittlepuppydog]

laughs bitterly in not making it past level one

i’m horrible at platformers lol

[Crosbyman64]

Should I make a video of my attempt at beating all 13 available levels in TAOS? (it’s short for “The Adventures Of Squaeyron”)

[braynee202]

i already have

what i’m wondering about is the minimum amount of coins required to beat each level

also i just did 6, at 64/80 [80%, ouch]

[braynee202]

so i’m trying to avoid as many coins as possible.
some look impossible to avoid, but [as found through painful trial and error] are not required to win, such as this one.

[Crosbyman64]

@braynee202

i already have

How ‘bout speedrunning all 13 levels?

[braynee202]

well no, because i’m evidently bad at speedrunning platformers. but optimizing them without the clock against me? i’m thinking i might end up being good at that.

[braynee202]

i’m trying to do level 8 but there’s a coin near the beginning i didn’t get once and now i keep getting it
edit:
ok finally done
36/76 [47.37%]

[Crosbyman64]

Cool. Level 9 should be easy since it’s already hard to even collect all coins.

I got 46 coins minimum on level 5 using a neat trick (which is hard to master). If done correctly, you can basically skip the middle step completely.
