If you need a fast answer, Discord will be best.įollowing the deadline, players are free to discuss anything and everything about their solutions to that week’s puzzle. I will do my best to answer them on Reddit, Steam, and Discord. If you have any questions about publicly available information (such as metrics, tiebreakers, and others), feel free to post them. It may not pass verification).Ĥ: Submit a solution to a modified version of the given puzzle as a solution to the original puzzle.ĥ: Use exploits, including overlapping glyphs, unless stated in the puzzle description.(Creating waste chains and having a non-looping solution are not exploits) I would like all participants to have a fair, even playing field, and their solutions to be products of their own work alone.ģ: Use older versions of the game (where collision detection was wonkier and piston arms are 30g. Please refrain from discussing metrics as well, since many of the puzzles are designed in a way to make the minimum metric unclear.ĮDIT: As of January 17th, all discussion related to active puzzles is banned. Your submission must be completely assembled by yourself.Ģ: Publicly post details about their solutions. The rules are the same as the previous tournament.ġ: Collaborate with other players.

Rank points: 5 * (( - ) / )Ī full explanation is given in this link, courtesy of biggiemac42 (used with permission): Metric points: 5 * (best primary metric / your primary metric) Each category is broken down into metric points and rank points. Scoring will be the same as the previous two tournaments: Each category has 10 possible points to be awarded, meaning every puzzle is worth 20 points. You can submit one solution for both categories or submit an unoptimized solution, and/or submit one solution and wait until later to submit another. Players are encouraged to submit more than one solution, one optimized for each category. Timestamp will never be used as a tiebreaker. Should two or more solutions achieve equality in all metrics and tiebreakers, they will be awarded the same points. If two solutions have the same cycles and area, then the lowest costing solution will be rewarded. Amongst all the minimum-cycles solutions, a lower area solution will be rewarded. A lower cycles solution trumps all solutions with higher cycles.

Each category will consist of one primary metric followed by a series of tiebreakers.įor example, if the category is “Cycles -> Area -> Gold”, that means: This is done to allow roughly anyone around the world to have about two weekends to work on the puzzles, and have a little overlap between puzzles.Įach puzzle will have two separate categories provided for optimization. Be warned that daylight savings kicks in!). This tournament will consist of 9 10 puzzles scored independently, each starting Friday 00:00 UTC and each due Tuesday 00:00 UTC 11 days later (Until March 14th, this is Thursday 7PM to Monday 7PM Eastern Time.
