February 2012 : Treasure Hunter Competition

[rockdet]

You can submit an AVI too of a timeout run (or any video file, actually), as it's part of the rules suggested for the new competition. IMO, you can't really win in Treasure Hunter if you don't reach the exit anyway (20 points is almost capital), so I don't see why one wouldn't complete it.

All right! This level looks a lot more interesting than the last one due to the fact that it's impossible to collect everything in one go. I might as well throw my current score (which I'm planning to improve) out there as a baseline for others: 60. Shouldn't be too hard to beat. I just have a couple of questions, though...

1) Are multiple submissions allowed? I.e. if we submit a solution and then get a better score, are we allowed to then submit the better solution?

2) For those of us who don't have Chip's Challenge and therefore cannot use ChipCap, do you have any recommendations on how we should record AVIs of our Tile World solutions that do not reach the exit? (Because TWS files only save solutions that do reach the exit.)

1) Absolutely. The latest submission I receive will be the one considered.

2) Any device works for me. I'd recommend an easy and simple software like Hypercam which would totally do the job.
