UPDATE2:
I have adding another section on the third
post on this page! I like to call it the Trophy
selection but that might change if someone
can think of a better name. ;)
UPDATE2 END.
UPDATE:
An announcement has been posted on page 10.
Things have really been slowing down in the code
maps section of the forums. However I will still be
checking on this thread regularly, and I will still be
answering PM's from those interested in helping
with this! :)
UPDATE END.
Hello all, I'm starting a forum challenge for us all, if
you want to participate please post here or PM me.
Here is how this will work:
I am going to post sets of maps, from 1-1000~, now
I checked the code maps and some of these have been
beaten already but we will re-do them anyway! :P
Because the main goal is to beat them all! It doesn't
matter if you're 'fast' or not, just if you beat them were
not going for record time or anything, just have fun.
Here is an example of how it will work:
~START OF EXAMPLE~
Note: when someone is asked to complete a map set,
they can set the complexity and size as desired.
Unless stated otherwise.
current map sets to be played:
map set1a = 1-4
map set1b = 5-9
map set1c = 10-14
map set1d = 15-20
map set1e = 21-25
ect...
... "x" contacts me:
"I'll do map set2"
... I edit my main post:
current map sets to be played:
map set1a = 1-5
map set1b = 6-10---(being done by"x")
map set1c = 10-14
map set1d = 15-19
map set1e = 20-25
ect...
... "x" contacts me and says maps complete,
... I edit my main post again
current map sets to be played:
map set1a = 1-5
map set1b = 6-10---(done by"x")
map set1c = 10-14
map set1d = 15-19
map set1e = 20-25
Additional Note: You MUST wait until I edit the main post
saying you're working on the map BEFORE you start playing
the maps, because it will get too confusing to keep track of
who has done what maps. ;)
Additional Note2: I will be making the map sets different
sizes, so if someone wants to do 50 maps they can. ;)
~END OF EXAMPLE~
Anyone interested in helping me beat 1-1000~ maps? :P
I'll start this up on Friday if enough people are interested.
So contact me via pm or post if you're interested!

ect... all the way up to "Map set3Z" (and more comming),
some of the map sets are easier than others, and a few
have as many as 50 maps, so pick a map set, and I'll
edit this post. Then you will see which maps you're
on because your name will be by it and it will be
highlighted. All of the maps in your map set can
be completed in any size/complexity you wish.
Unless stated otherwise for Hard sets...
Lets blast some Creeper! ;D
Fun maps worth mentioning found by players
completing map sets: ;)
Large/High complexity group:
155
186
188
195
429
440
Medium/High complexity group:
199 -- See my solution here (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=7235.75) if you have problems ;)
Small/High complexity group:
499
505
Okay that should be enough, the first 4 posts.
You can post now if you were waiting for me
to get done reserving. ;)
well, I just ran the numbers, and every forum member would have to play nine maps to get this done
Nine? hmm, can't count on EVERY member to
participate, but that would be awesome. MadMag
suggested I take the number down to 1000~. So
we will start with that for now, that would bring
the number down quite a bit!

Well if you can pick . . . wouldn't you do them all
on small/low? whats the fun in that? :D
Quote from: Colin on August 03, 2011, 01:29:41 PM
Note: when someone is asked to complete a map set,
if the map is impossible on large/high (for them) you
may set the complexity or size down as desired.
Well... Maybe you can do them on medium/medium.
I'll have to think about this.
Well, I suppose the mission here is to BEAT the maps,
meaning you can play them on any complexity/size
you prefer.
So, play on small/low to speed things up, or large/high if you're kithros.
I may do some, but not until next week. (Will be out of town for a few days.)
Eh, this mission isn't terribly crazy if you get enough people... When Fisherck and I counted out all of the ore in each of what were then 4 map sizes for 50 maps, it took less than a day of actually working. If you can get 30 reasonably fast people working on them, even on large/high, it'd only take ~8 hours of work from each of them, plus perhaps a few more for any really difficult maps found. Of course, the problem is finding 30 reasonably fast people to work for you...
(If these 30 people were dedicated enough, you could "easily" reach your original goal of 1 through 10000 within a week.)
i will be willing to help for this and it would be awesome if we could get to the really high numbers.
i will get started on any of them when i can :) :) :) :)
I'm in, just let me know the block of 10 or so you'd like me to work on.
Count me in on some
I can probably take a set as well.
Okay I'll definitely start this up tomorrow, since I live in Alaska, I'll be posting a list tonite before I go to bed, and assign sets to people when I wake up the next morning or that night if anyone is on.
Quote from: Colin on August 04, 2011, 12:45:21 PM

Yeah, the sun doesn't go down until about 11PM. ;)
I've almost got the map sets ready, should I just post them now? haha

if you do, it would let us do it faster :D
the faster we do them the sooner we get 2 1000 :o
colin if you need help witht he orginizing you can let me know and i can try 2 help :)
I decided to open it early, :P choose your
map sets people, and I'll edit the main post
asap then you can start working on them.
Note: The map sets are on the SECOND post on the FIRST page.
I'll take set M
I'll take set I (I hope I have enough time to do them :))
Ok penguin, I'll edit the post, get to work! :P
i will take d i think it will take a while tho :)
done with I
I'll do sets F, R and G
Quote from: thepenguin on August 05, 2011, 10:07:50 AM

small/low settings :)
I'll take set S if it is open yet.
I'll do V and W.
Alright, I've got the post updated.
Thanks everyone for participating! This shouldn't take
very long at this rate . . .
Set F done
Set G Done
edited main post, gj TP! ;)
set R done!
Finished My set will do set J starting sunday.
Will do set B
Sets: N,O,P,E
I'll do set H.
Quote from: Measure on August 05, 2011, 04:23:42 PM
Will do set B
Finished Set B, easy/easy on all three, average completion time of 4.6 minutes.
Just now updated the thread, I was gone most of the day.
Good job everyone! I'll post more sets of maps tomorrow.
I finished set H :D (it was easy:P)
Set M finished; no real challenge, just a lot of work (as I want to have fun playing, I did them all on large/high settings)
Edited main post, updated status and posted next "map set".
I'll do set 1A and 1U!
um it hink we are running out of room 2 post sets lol :)
The post limit for this site is quite large. I think he'll be ok.
At this rate we may go farther that 1k, we may even make it to 10k if we keep it up. ;D
I'll take 202-209!
Okay, I updated the post and took map setK for myself.
You guys should try to beat all these on large/high next. :P
Well Ebon, everyone can play the maps on whatever
complexity/size they want, except for a few that I
have noted as you have to play them on large/high
or whatever. I would have liked them to all be done
on large/high but not everyone can beat all maps on
large/high like kithros, fisherick or any of the other
"Pro" players of CW2, and it would take about 40x
longer. Like it is were making very good progress and
everyone seems to be happy with that. ;)
Nice project - hit me up with a set or 2
Okay logros, you can have "map setX" I'll edit you
into the main post unless you have any objections.
I had completed my set (S) - maps 186 to 195. Had done them all on large/high because I think it is most fun.
Maps were actually challenging and interesting (some of 10 not all). Especially 189 and 195 have extremely difficualt and tricky starts (encourage anyone interested to try them out on large/high). Few more required some LS dancing to avoid early drones etc.
I will pick another set later when I have time.
Hmm could I also do set 1J please ;D
set j is done starting on 1L
Done with 1L going on to 1M-1O
Okay, I updated the main post, good job everyone!
1M 1N 1O complete
Give me set Y set 1V set 1X and 1Y
Ok, main post updated.
These are both done now
Map setV 210-215
Map setW 216-221
I'll take sets 1B and 1C.
Updated.
im done with D give me map set T
I'll take 1E
Sets J Y 1V 1X 1Y Complete
You forgot to say that I completed the setA. just a reminder!
EDIT: Also done with the other one. I'll take set1W!
Updated, thanks for participating guys! Keep up the
good work, and 1000 should come quickly, then we
can move on to bigger numbers! ;D

um you said you updated the post but it seems mine didn't get updated. ???
Sorry about that, I was kind of tired last nite.
I'll pay more attention in future updates. ;)
If anyone notices a problem with the 2nd post,
I appreciate it when you let me know my
mistakes so I can fix them.
man 199 is hard lol not enough reactor space :(
wont know how long it takes me >:(
I'll do 1f, 1g, 1h, and 1i over the next while.
Could I take map set 1Z please? :) Also, I think this is a great idea. I'm imagining it as a war to claim back a 1000 planets in the galaxy! I wish we had a galaxy map to see our progress. ::)
Thanks Colin!
First post updated,
@speedy123sil - If you're still having problems with it on Sunday
pm me and I'll give you some suggestions on how to start.
@1221unger - Whenever you can finish them is fine, there is
no time crunch here just having fun! ;)
@deathsandwich - if you want to see an interesting galaxy viewer
for a space game I found earlier this month, click here (http://shoresofhazeron.com/game2.galaxyviewf.html). See the
controls to the right side of the page. Be sure to press "W" ;)
Completed 1B. (All large/high) BTW 265 is an instant win on small /any.
set N done
Done with SetX
Updated main post, and I may take map setQ
if no one else wants it. . . ;D
EDIT:
also, the "Map set2A-Z"s are out! ;)
I'll take set 1K. ;)
Finished 1E
Edit: I'll take 2V
I will do Map set2C 521-526! :)
I think i will take Map set2S 671-680
And a question for map sets. What are names of maps exactly? To be correct, do i need to 'type in code' just map numbers or something else?

All you need to do for the maps is type in the number you want. For example, if you are doing map 671, type 671 into the code mission select.
Set 1C done. Again all large/high.
I beat Map set2C!
i am done with with T and i will start 1p :D
Updated, good job speedy! ;)
Also, I'll take map setQ
::)
Glad to say, Map set2S 671-680 is complete. All in large-High.
671 map was a real test of my abilities, due to Surface Titan Emmiter, but after some tough fight managed to complete it. That's my first completed map with surface titan :) .
Well, good job Akirasip! 8)
post updated.
set O is done
Set 1K is done.
Post updated, and heh, funny how slow everything on code maps
got once the custom maps came out. Oh well, I'll keep checking
this thread though if anyone does finish a map set.
wow ever since the custom maps came out no one is playing these level maps ???
Which was to be expected....
A carefully designed custom map always beats the rather similar looking randomly generated code maps.
Yup, that pretty much sums it up, however
I got a PM from someone wanting a set, so
main post has been updated! ;)

Colin - I was just wandering around and found this thread.
Without reading back through all 101 posts, are there any left that you need worked on?
The concept sounds like fun.

Echo51,
Thanks - got it.
I'll try this one: Map set2L 616 – Special/Hard must be played on Medium/High
dbit
Well, that one thoroughly kicked my butt - but it is done.
Moving on to: Map set1S 411-420
I'll have a crack at:
Map set1T 421-428
It'll make a change from modding maps which are either trivial or so durned hard that I'm over-time before I complete them!!
Alright, updated main post! Goodluck. ;)
I would have updated the thread sooner,
however I was out this morning.
Wish I'd found this challenge in those lonely days between finishing the story and custom maps coming on-line!!
Think I'll take a peek at some of the maps the others are doing and nip in and post a score - just to steal their thunder!!!
Snigger.
Map set1S 411-420 - completed.
I'm going to play some of the new Custom maps, then will return.
dbit
Starting this set: Map set2A 501-510
Okay, updated main post! ;)
After getting repeatedly beat to death, I checked for scores on 505 and found that 'Kithros' had already finished it (thank Thor, because I sure couldn't).
dbit
Finished this set: Map set2A 501-510
Updated main post. =S
Karsten75 -
I got a message that you posted "505. You're kidding, right?", but now I can't see the post.
To answer your question - no, I was not kidding.
I could not figure out how to complete the map.
Do you have any tips to help out a lessor player?
dbit
Map set2B 511-520 (Working) COMPLETE.
Edit: Maybe "working" isn't exactly the right phrase...how about "playing"?
map set 2D 527-534 (working) ok beat 527-530 need to take a break i'll work somemore in a little while
Okay, you two are "working", when you
get done edit your posts, I'll check back
in a few hours. ;)
I finished map set
2D 526-534 that was fun
Updated.
Map set2E 535-542 (Completed)
:)
Back to custom for a bit, then back on the next set.
Updated, and whatever system works for
you. I don't really care. ;)
Map set1T 421-428 completed, all on med/med.
428 was a b@$t@rd - even on med/med - things were so tight it would have been worthy of an evil map maker! I lost count of how many re-starts it took but I refused to go 'easy'!
Give it a try if you're looking for a challenge!
I'll take Map set2F 543-549 next...
Updated, and I might try that one Cave!
:P

Kind of off topic, but this is how I started 428 on small/high (or medium/high potentially - I think medium/high is a bit easier because of crystal placement though) - I don't think this one on small/high is possible without abusing the LS drone evasion quite significantly.
Spoiler

For the more interesting one this is how I would start it on large/high (this strategy should work even more easily on medium/medium I think where you don't need to worry about the creeper field):
Spoiler
(http://i.imgur.com/5iEuY.png)
From here I build shields as necessary to stall, and whenever the fields turn left and up I can rebuild the shields forward again. Build up reactor farm and such and it's pretty straightforward from there.

Ah! But did you try med/med?! The constant stream of drones and phantoms was a killer!
Actually, med/med was the only way I tried this level.
It was really interesting to see your screen-shots and I appreciate the effort you went to to bring them to us.
It was good to get someone else's take on how to tackle a problem. I'm kinda playing CW2 in a vacuum here - for all I know I'm the only player in the darn country so I'm kinda making it up as I go along!
428 was a good challenge after a stream of straight-forward code maps.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Oh, and we're probably not too far off topic - this pertains to the challenge Colin set!
working on map set 2x 715-735 special only medium length
428 on large/high is pretty much a harder version of the medium/medium one - the build directions are worse (didn't realize that they were all direction until my position was already secure, there are no fields, the max drone count for the gateway was a lot higher and 10 phantoms instead of 4 - in medium/medium I just fly into the left emitter chamber, pick up the green gem, dig the LS in, and pick up the white gem just to build up faster. The creeper will pretty much never threaten the LS (or rather, you should be on the offensive long before that happens). Use shields to block the drones as necessary.
Spoiler

RE: 428 -
For Medium/Medium, I found it easier to take out the top right Emitter first and then work my way clock-wise...using the gravity to carry AC across the Creeper fields.
I do like that concept of hiding the LS in a cave though.

RE: 428 -
For Medium/Medium, I found it easier to take out the top right Emitter first and then work my way clock-wise...using the gravity to carry AC across the Creeper fields.
That's the way I did it - but I found it was a death match against the drones with limited resources and nowhere (safe) to build, and just as you're starting to make progress the phantoms show up!

I do like that concept of hiding the LS in a cave though.
I
know! How cool is that? Somewhere safe to call your home where you can raise a little reactor farm...
Glad this map stirred some discussion!
set3z 743-750
Done: 743,
Not Done: 744, 745, 746, 747, 748, 749, 750
Sure thing, I'll update the main post!
Good luck. ;)
EDIT:
Also, looks like were starting to get close
to the 4th map set as this is starting to
pick up again. I'll post a new map set
tomorrow.

ROTFL!
Yup.
#428 should go on some kind of list of "Games to play when you're feeling frisky".
Map set2G 550-580 – Special/long
I'm thinking "long" means "Large" for Size?
"long" means a lot of maps in the set. ;)
If you wish though, you can play the
maps on whatever settings you like,
small/low is just the fastest. :D
Also, have you finished doing map set
2E? If you have I'll update that too.
Updated main post.
EDIT:
Okay DethbyIT, I re-edited the main
post. ;)
Oh and, I did it by 1:45. :)
Hey Colin,
I edited that comment to show they were finished, but will post a new comment if/when I get through this latest set.
"Long" is right!
Just for grins, start doing #552 on Large/Medium and tell me how long it takes to get the first Emitter.
Fun stuff.
dbit
Map set1R 401-410 has been completed. I think I got them all uploaded (though some I had to tweek the settings away from medium/medium because my game play is woefully weak.
Next set? I'll just take whatever is next in line...

I am definitely NOT one of the speed merchants around here, but drop the LC down as far as it will go - at the same time go after that green jewel.
At the 10 second mark, start building your Nullifier off-set to the right side of the Emitter.
You should just barely kill the Emitter at the 26 second mark.
@ Tmug, sure thing I do not care which
set people take, but if you want me to
assign you one, I would suggest:
Map set2H 581-589 ;)
If you have any objections I will change
the main post to reflect that.
Also, I would like to make an announcement
on this post:
Two weeks from this post, any map sets that have not been completed, but taken up will be reverted back to a not done state so we can finish this thing up! I am announcing this so those that have map sets need to finish them, these include:
1221unger -
Map set1F 306-310,
Map set1G 311-316,
Map set1H 317-321, and
Map set1I 322-330.
amigo1 -
Map set1Q 381-400 and
Map set1W 440-449 –Optional 440 looks interesting on large/high.
deathsandwich -
Map set1Z 479-500– Special/hard, must play map 499 on High complexity-any size.
Destroyer333 -
Map set2Z 743-750

Everyone else that I haven't mentioned, I feel are active enough to get with the program. ;)
Updated main post.
I'm going to try for set2H.
Finished and reported set 1C long ago.
Quote from: Katra on August 16, 2011, 04:54:15 PM
Set 1C done. Again all large/high.
Sorry, my mistake Katra. Would you like
to take another set?
Updated main post.
I guess 2I shall be mine! <deep evil laughter>
What?
Updated. ;)
EDIT:
Alright Lich, that is fine. :)
I hate to do this but take my name off the list I just got to busy recently.
Map set2F 543-549 done!
Just for fun - take a run at 569 on Medium/Medium.
haha, that IS a good one. Tried it a few
times and died. ;)
I was stumped for the longest time.
I finally ran down and hid in the furthest lower-right position I could get the LS, then started drilling to build Reactors.
One Blaster will get you through the first wave or so of Drones. Long enough to build up your power - and don't forget your Phantom Coil.
DO NOT go for any of the Jewels/Gems - keep your terrain solid between you and all Creeper.
When you get your second Blaster - then second Phantom coil - built, you will be safe to keep drilling all the way down and letting the gravity work the AC.
Very impressive to think that this was auto-generated.
I was under the impression that I finished all my sets, colin, I might not have reported them to you though :'(
I may be mistaken on this...

Yep, cover your bets.... :P
My reasoning for posting the announcement
is to clear up all of the maps penguin, if you
have indeed completed them I will list them
as done and this solves one more problem! ;)
It just seemed to me that a lot of the map
sets were sitting there as "work in progress".
However since I haven't heard from some
people in awhile I figured maybe they had
either forgotten or I had missed them posting
that they had completed the map sets. Keep
in mind that I actually do not go through and
check to see if everyone has indeed done
the map sets, because for every map there
are 9 "possibilities":
Small/low
Small/medium
Small/High
Medium/low
Medium/medium
Medium/high
Large/low
Large/medium
Large/high
For me to go through every map in the high
scores looking at (possibly) all 9 of them
would take a very long time, so I just trust
that everyone will do as they say they have
done.

Ummm...
At the time of writing, 54 and 55 (being done by thepenguin - I know that's the first thing you'll check! Sorry to drop you in it Pingu!) are not showing any posted scores on any size/complexity combination.
Just don't ask me how I know.
It's not like I'm a sad git who has nothing better to do than go through checking up on the first 1000 numbered code maps just to see if everyone has posted scores where they said they had...
;)
Actually, I was typing '549' in when I noticed a really cool looking map pop up when I got as far as '54' - give it a go!
I was so interested that I took a look at what scores had been posted and was surprised that there wasn't a single one.
It's obvious what we have to do now.
Get Virgil to make a search program to trawl through every number map up to 1000, checking every size/complexity combination and report back to us any that don't have scores posted. It won't take him more than 10 minutes.
;D
['54' - give it a go!]
CM - What size and complexity?

If i've got spare time today, I'll hack something together out of this (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=7477.0)

Any combination except small or low.
You'll see!
It's rather like several 'authored' maps I've seen.
I didn't post a score 'cos I didn't want to steal anyone's thunder.

I'll see how much spare time I've got today, it's a big project
I seem to have the protocol down now...
Map set2G 550-580 - complete.
[Long] is right!
Alright, updated! ;)
2H is done (May revisit 581 and 583 at some point)
I'll take set 2Q.
Set # 2I is done. Next!
Alright thanks guys, sorry for not posting
earlier, I was gone on a 3 day trip. ;)
Updated main post.
Ok. I'm happy to start on set 2J. Set 1R is already done. (Private message)
Set 2Q is done, I'm moving on to set 2R.
Map set2M 617-625
Now playing :)
Alright, I'll check back in a little bit to see
if you've finished it! ;)
Sorry - took a while to get through these.
Map set2M 617-625 - complete.
Edited main post, and cleaned it up a little.
I didn't notice this before (first group): Map setP 132-139
I'll take a run at it as time allows.
Alright, I found an interesting map, 160 on
Large/High. I tried it for about 30 minutes
and didn't see a way to get a foot hold
without exploiting the drone evasion trick.
Updated main post. ;)

Colin - I took a run at that one. Had to start by moving the LS far left, using a couple of Shields & Repulsars...then digging for gems.
That gave me plenty of time to build up some energy/weapons and start the long fight down to the bottom.
Let me know if it works for you.

Are you sure you mean 160? 160 on large/high will never have any drones reaching the surface (until you dig to them)...
Just for grins and giggles, try #135 on Medium/Medium.

Oh bah, I meant Small/High . . . xD
160 on Small/High was the one I meant.
To give you a taste, I included a screen shot.
It's not that hard, if you're on the far left side the creeper won't be threatening - build 4 shields to let the drones crash into, dig to the green gem ASAP and as soon as you have the green gem start building 2 blasters - for me the blasters finished just as the last shield died (if you need to just build 5 shields instead)
Quote from: Kithros on December 01, 2011, 04:23:32 PM
It's not that hard,
Remember you're talking to mere mortals! :)
Good advice - it worked and I didn't have to play dodge ball with packs of 26 Drones.
Thanks.
I remember one the maps I did was close to that (med/med actually) but my skill level didn't allow me to find a way to live, as the gems would open MORE pathways for the drones to get me. But never played a map with the gateway in the open like that.
Group 2J is now complete. Next? 2K?
@137 on med/med had an interesting start.
As did 139 - both worth playing.
All done with Map setP 132-139
Good job you guys! I am still working on
my map set, taking me forever. . . :)
Updated main post.
EDIT: Also as a side note, I added another
post, the Trophy post! (post 3 page 1)
I would be doing more...but that no-good maniac from a New Zealand cave has me hooked on chasing "Country Name" games. LOL!

First I get you hooked, then I jack up the price!
Set 2K is now complete. How about I swing back up to the top and start filling in gaps. Set U ?
Sure thing Tmug, I've updated the main post! ;)
Map setU 202-209
Complete - Kithros finished 209 on Large/High
I (JGast) just beat Map set1U 429 on large/high
I can also take Map set 1A. I am assuming they must all be done on large/high?
It doesn't say, so no.
Quote from: JGast on December 23, 2011, 01:53:50 PM

No. Any level you choose. The goal is to just have a score for each map.
Map Set 1A is done.
Whoa... been a couple of weeks. Ok! Since set U is reported done a few posts up, how about... 1I - 322-330 ?
Map set1F 306-310, Map set1G 311-316, and Map set1H 317-321 are all done. I'll do Map set1I 322-330 next.
Whoop, didn't see Tmug's post. I'll do Map set1P 371-380[/u] instead.
