A mission objective: BEAT ALL "Number" maps 1-1000~

[Colin]

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

[DethbyIT]

['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

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.

Wow!

I was joking, but that'd do the trick!

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!

[Colin]

Alright, updated!  ;)

[miquelfire]

2H is done (May revisit 581 and 583 at some point)

[mopa42]

I'll take set 2Q.
