Worms Scheme Contest 2010
« on: December 30, 2009, 08:17 PM »
Worms Scheme Contest 2010 has started.

Contrary to what some people may think, this isn't a new league. This is a contest where people can send in a new scheme they created, and a jury - whose members are kept secret - will decide which scheme will have the title "Scheme of 2010". :)
Of course, even if a scheme doesn't win, it still can catch on on WormNET, so I suggest if you have a good idea, don't keep it to yourself, but share it instead. :)

The website can be found here: http://wsc.wmdb.org/ Be sure to read it, there isn't too much text there anyway. ;)
Registration will start on the 1st of January, right after midnight.

If you have questions, feel free to ask. :)

Opera 10.10
when window is resized, links don't work
The links had to be done in a tricky fashion, so whenever the browser window's (ANY browser) width is lower than around 1000 pixels, the menu gets screwed up. I don't know how to work around the problem that was solved like this, so I can't do anything else than recommend that you use full-screen (or at least more than 1000 pixel wide) browser windows.

Dulek: Lolol. :D

Scheme of the year? Is that mean winner will be announced at the end of 2010? A bit long, hope it will succed. Nice idea to keep this game alive and run some creativity. Anyways, scheme means mostly special designed map - no interest from other people means no maps, so if there will be at least one scheme which keep people playing, it will be a big success. Thumbs up.

I suppose you have to register after you're done making a scheme?  ???

pr: It is under development already. :)

lacoste: Well, I think the winner will be announced more like around June. Calling it "Scheme of the year" is something like when the Guiness World Record publishes "Guiness World Records 2010" in February, or something like that. It's gonna be the best recognized scheme of 2010.

HHC: Registering means that you send the scheme and every other related stuff in, so yes, you should register after you perfected the scheme.

(EDIT: "prefected", lol.)

The rules have been changed a bit, one person or group can now send up to 3 schemes.
This is to ensure that people with more than one good ideas don't have to choose between them.

As of the change of the year, the results are available on the website.

Go to http://wsc.wmdb.org/ and check them out! We got quite a few great schemes, it was hard to evaluate them. :)

Info about the Jury will be available in a few days - as soon as I figure out what to write there, heh - and there will be links to download the submitted schemes and other files from the results page, so you can try them out! :)

great, why isn't the jury page opened so? :)
Dec 30 2013 23:59:44 <StepS> windowed mode isn't the only thing you need about frontend
Dec 30 2013 23:59:49 <StepS> you need it to be actually bigger
Dec 31 2013 00:00:13 <StepS> it actually is very small on my 15-inch full HD screen
Dec 31 2013 00:00:25 <StepS> while running at 640x480 or stretched mode makes it fuzzy
Dec 31 2013 00:00:44 <StepS> this problem has been around since the Worms Armageddon's release and no one has even tried to beat it

because we are keeping the jury list top secret, people may be a bit more hesitant to participate if they found i was head of the jury.

Wait, who are you and why are you talking about WSC as if you would be part of it?

great, why isn't the jury page opened so? :)

Like I already said, I still have to think about stuff to put there.
And I also am studying for three serious exams next week, so I have little to no time to code.
