So, you want some ... hints?

Spoiler

SAVE!!! You got 4 slots, use them all. For the love of Virgil, please save!

Spoiler

Boo!

[close]

Spoiler

Every click puts down 5 creeper, somewhere, somehow. (There's an algorithm)

Spoiler

Every click also adds to the "roulette" of death. You have 11% of getting something. Only one option is friendly, and it's a little AC rain. The rest you'll see for yourselves

[close]

Spoiler

Large flat areas are no good. A ridge is your friend.

Spoiler

Build fast, build smart, cycle your clicks.

[close]

Spoiler

The Name of the game is redundancy, redundancy.

Spoiler

And patience, know when to wait, when to strike, when to turn off your PC and take a walk.

Far from impossible. Fairly easy, and a change of pace. Didn't need to load a save. (Did restart two or three times due to overenthusiastic building in the wrong place at the start.)

Also, speedrunner's bane.

Hints:

Spoiler

Keyboard shortcuts. Lots of them. Space, tab, e-1, r-2, t-2.
Click-and-drag building.
Range upgrades, to get more out of your building.
Berthas, which have autofire and unlimited range.

Go into deficit early on, and have a good spread of Reactors.

Building a new line of weapons is half as many clicks as moving old ones. And the old ones can guard against the random Creeper.

What's your distribution algorithm, Sorrontis? I assume it's mixed up with the number at the top of the map.

Nah, I wanted it to be predictable once you do enough clicking. I don't remember, but I'll get it to you.

Here it is:

Code Select

if (GetMouseButtonDown(0))
	<-MouseCount 1 add ->MouseCount
	GetMouseCell ->mouseY ->mouseX 
	
	<-MouseCount 2 mod eq0 if
		MapWidth <-mouseX sub ->moddedX
	else
		<-mouseX ->moddedX
	endif
	
	<-mouseY dup mul dup mul -0.00002552 mul ->Y4
	<-mouseY dup mul <-mouseY mul 0.00658 mul ->Y3
	<-mouseY dup mul -0.5389 mul ->Y2
	<-mouseY 14.7 mul ->Y1
	
	<-Y4 <-Y3 add <-Y2 add <-Y1 add ->moddedY
	
	<-MouseCount 3 mod eq0 if
	MapHeight <-moddedY sub ->moddedY
	endif
	
	<-moddedX <-moddedY 5 AddCreeper
	@slotmachine
endif
