Flat Earth Apocalypse (FEA) Challenge

I think, some rules are too cruel even if it did disadvantage:

Start with less than 318 HP.
Scheme with water rise on sudden death.

Both cases made only disadvantage of sooner end, so there is no point of disqualify it.

TIP for gameplay: trying to catch first meteor is bad idea.

Ok, Rules are now updated. The only major criterium for disqualification is not using Armageddon for one turn. The other things I kept on the description only as a reminder that they will give a disadvantage.

Man, I think your nick name could be Ninja135, I would never imagine that someone could go this far! Now I'm triggered and I will surely try to beat you, but I doubt I'll do it.

I should have created a separate scheme for this challenge maybe, because it can be very long, now I realize this. I developed the scheme for multiplayer online play that's why I set this Round time. For single player challenge Sudden Death can be delayed a lot, you mastered this, you use Armageddon before collecting the crate lol. Insane skills! Very fast reflexes! More than 1200 HP I don't remember now, but you reached insane numbers!

You made me question if I should have made the meteors fall faster, maybe reducing Air Viscosity, increasing wind power, the gravity or increasing game engine speed. But I think for online play it is fine, the scheme is already really hard for beginners. You are a pro and this challenge is working well, but it may take a long time to finish a good record.

Again, I'm really, really impressed! I laughed many times watching, you have no idea! Either because you doddged all the meteors very well, or by reading the chat or simply watching the meteors crushing the worm dealing +400 HP, but your health was so much higher that the damage was like tickles to your worm.

If there is a guy surviving Flat Earth conspiracy theories, that guy is Ninja135.

Only average 0.22 seconds. I have this nice test with sheeps: reaction_version5.swf (Open with internet browser, it require Flash Player plugin)

Quote from: FoxHoundI doubt you see this link moving below...

Yes, there is scrolling a dot link pointing at worms2d.info\Scheme_ideas.
My extra schemes are missing anyway: nothing, donkey war, skunk war

I installed flash player plugin on chrome, but if I open the file using chrome it will download the same file again (I couldn't open it).

Oh, 3 schemes! Where are they? I clicked on submited schemes in your profile and there is nothing. I searched all 3 schemes on TUS and there is nothing (the scheme "nothing" doesn't appear). Your WMDB user maps only have Mole Forts and Mole Shopper maps.

EDIT: If you didn't use external tools to discover the link, congratulations! I only managed to click on that link only once, after many attempts, a good while trying. If you discovered using other tools, good job, it probably demands some knowledge. It is not a surprise that the link is Scheme ideas page, though xD

For me work save swf file to computer. Then drag it to internet browser icom on desktop (or to already opened browser window) for open it. Chrome do not like flash itself from some time, so it can be blocked or removed there. You can easy try if flash work, by clicking on number 1 or 2 in my signature (number 3 is not flash).
Another way is open swf by IrfanView (yes, it can do this too).

My schemes are not uploaded yet because they are not finished (only scheme "nothing" is finished, but nobody like it).

Link moving below: I zoomed in page, and I saw one pixel fast running there. Click on it was hard, and it show link address down left as long as I hold button, but not open it, probably because when release mouse button the link was already away.

It is 1892 HP when health crates stop falling (SD).

400 HP is not enough. Sometime I play "catch the meteors" well, and have 505 HP damage in one turn (attached replay), so nothing is impossible.

Definitely I can't open neither number 1, nor number 2. Number 3 is psychedelic. I installed flash player on Mozilla Firefox and dragged the file, I tried many different things, it didn't work.

Where is Nothing, the scheme? I wanna see it. I have some unfinished projects of schemes, maps, terrain and other wormy projects. I hope you finish your scheme so that we can play one day.

So, you're aiming for all the records, biggest health and biggest damage. Nice. I remember some +500 damage while developing the scheme, yes. 600 damage or more would surprise me, but I think it's possible. Maybe it happened with me and I don't remember.

EDIT: I installed IrfanView and now it worked. Looks like someone laughing with a sheep voice. Or a sheep laughing.

Interesting how before 10 years almost each www page required flash installed (even youtube was whole made on flash), and now is problem run simple one flash thing. World is changing...

No more players? Too hard or bad luck only? Good training (as I did that record) is ride on bike in city 1 hour, then play. 

Ok, I played around 1 hour maybe, I don't know. I made 43 attempts. From these 43, this is my record for now. I have 2 more weeks to beat Danger. I'm still very far away from him.

I'm tried again too. Not a record, but at least something. Next time I will try make an hour record. 

TIP1: you need big resolution (1920x1200) for good results. On 800x600 is that unplayable (yes, I'm tried that too).
TIP2: you can try 2 modes: 1. with Ctrl+Home for have worm always in middle of screen, or 2. with ScrollLock for frozen screen on one place and only worm move, but it need FullHD screen (if you do not have that resolution on your laptop, you can connect it to TV which have).
TIP3: be fast as hell 

TIP4: plan your trace ahead (see attached image)
TIP5: explosion hurts only in that millisecond when meteor hit ground, boom animation is safe yet

Thank you for the tips, my resolution is 1366 x 768. I don't have TV so, I can't amplify my resolution. It seems the resolution REALLY matters for this scheme. Maybe I'll try more, but it seems that I won't have a good chance playing on my laptop. I played with ctrl + home or holding left button with the mouse. I did not try with scroll lock, but my resolution is not so big.

Zooming in WA... When?

Zooming what? How? Where?

I have 24" LCD screen (more than 10 years old Samsung with 1920x1200) with classic big PC. And new record will coming soon.     (where available ofc)

44 min 52 sec dodging meteors according to the log. In real life, that would be 17 min 36 sec dodging meteors I think (considering only the retreat time). Wow! I doubt I'll beat your record. But, at least I beat you once in our 2 rounds online of this scheme. You won the other, though. The others were still learning how to use Jet Pack and press enter. I hope we play more FEA funners or other schemes! It was fun today, long time I don't play Neocombat with 6 players, all of them beginners, unfortunately you were without teams to play (only as spectator), my bad, I didn't see this. The players enjoyed a lot Neocombat, we played 3 rounds!
