Is there a Treasure Hunter lurking inside you, yearning for a chance to see some action?
Can you steal the
Cross of Coronado
and get away with it?
Your task sounds simple: download this, solve the Cross of Coronado
, and score the most points.
However, in the dark caves there are many twists and surprises. One of them is a curse which
causes the fall of the first person to touch this renowned artifact, leaving the second as the
ultimate winner. Can you outsmart the rest and still have enough luck to end up the best?
Points are awarded in this fashion for gathering items:
chip - 1 point
blue key - 5 points
red key - 8 points
yellow key - 9 points
green key - 15 points
socket - 0 points
You must exit the level. Your solution time does not matter this time.
Opening doors does not reduce your points.
You may enter up to three times, which is why the set contains the same
level three times.
More technical rules follow, but do ask for anything that's on your mind:
1) The submissions will be scored according to the above legend. The winner of the competition will be the person who submits the highest unique score. Further ranking of players will follow a similar method after removal of the winning score. In case of a tie in all (remaining) scores, some scores may be disregarded in a way that feels appropriate to the general method. Include your own calculations of your own score with your submission if possible, but this is not required.
2) Please send your solutions (either the tws file or avis) to my own email valeosote at hotmail dot com. Do not post your solutions or scores or share them with others before the competition results are announced. All scores will be published at the same time, and possibly some routes too. I will strive to respond to your message by a confirmation that your score has been recorded.
3) The set contains the level Cross of Coronado
three times, meaning you can enter multiple times and only need to send one tws.
4) This is part of the 2016 season of the Chip Cup. Winner will be awarded 15 points, second place 12, third 10 points, and so on. If you win a competition here for the first time, you receive the "You're Winner!" award. All participants who haven't participated in a Treasure Hunt earlier receive the "Chip the Pirate" award. If your name is Madhav or you don't care for these awards, I will think of something special just for you.
5) Submission deadline is May 8th, 2016 where you live. I will judge the submissions without warning the during the following days but will accept submissions until I do. If you need a more specific time, you can always ask. Get your solutions in early rather than later! You can send in an update while the competition is running, but only your three most recent scores will count in the competition.
6) The designer of the levels may enter the competition, as long as there is no advantage to his position. (Basically this means I can submit my current solutions into the mix.)
7) The levels or scoring may receive an update within the first week of release. This is unlikely, but just saying it just in case.
8) The level is easy to solve, so you have no excuse to not participate! Even with a quick solution and a bit of luck, you might end up on top! Encourage your friends and family and enemies to participate, to make this the largest Treasure Hunt in history!
Watch out that you don't fall into a snake pit! Enjoy!
