Machine Gun Contest
Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 5:50 pm
A first, as far as I know... a scripted cannon/gun/machine gun contest!
The goal is to create a -scripted- gun capable of hitting the EXACT place every thyme (Pun intended; please don't ban me for it I couldn't resist...)
Rules
1.)Gun must be scripted in some way--this could be modifying the bullet density as soon as it leaves the barrel, or it could be spawning inf+ ammo
2.)Gun must have barrel and must use said barrel
2.5)Gun must have SOME mechanical aspect--lasers do not count as mechanical. You can still use lasers to spawn, but for it to be legal, you would have to put them on a moving trolley or something MECHANICAL.
3.)You may not use velocities in scripting-- that is far too easy!
4.) Gun must have scope, like a laser showing where it ought to shoot
5.) You must inform me of any loopholes you find and/or use
5.5)You may not use attraction to make the bullet seek the target
6.) Gun must fit in the red box in the provided scene
7.) Gun MUST be hinged to background; you may not fixate it (or glue it...) to the background or any other stationary object other than the gun itself
8.) You may NOT edit the scene provided
9.) Redundant, but you must use the target supplied and you may not move it
10.) NO cheating!
POINTS /100
Consistency--must hit the same spot every time ::score/40
Accuracy--scope must be accurate lest it become useless ::score/30
Power-- can the gun take out the tower regardless of tower density ::score/15
Complexity and Reliability--is it stone-age simple (simple is good)
or is it uber complex--complex is even better... does it work every
thyme (you had to know I had another pun coming...) ::score/15
BONUSES +50 possible points
Bonuses will only be given if regular score is greater than 65
Includes Emil, Chuck Norris or Morgan Freeman :: +5
Thyme is fully explained and/or annotated :: +10
Works in Phun 5.28 and Algodoo :: +15
Gun is already aimed at the target :: +10
Redundant, but no lasers :: +10
PENALTIES -30 possible points
Penalties will only be assigned if score is over 80
1.)Bad color scheme-- this should be the color of a weapon, not a
pretty pink pony catapult from wonderland :: -5
2.)Too much backlash (or what ever it's called)--You can't
forget Newton's 3rd law! :: -10
3.)Too much weight-- you can't escape the previous
penalty by making the gun heavier :: -15
The ending date has not been determined yet
Have phun!!
Phun version[scene]50528[/scene] Algodoo version[scene]50546[/scene]
Example [ALGODOO ONLY]

Whaaaaaat... I just noticed that my own gun is disqualified (It has no mechanical aspect) %&*@#!!!
EDIT: changed the title from 'Scripting Gun Contest' to 'Machine Gun Contest'; it seemed to be deterring people
