Challenge Suggestions

[coarse grove]

[green kraken]

Yeah I think that's a medium... sounds like it's decorating a part, not just a block, and requires some time commitment

[urban storm]

You should make it (Make 10+ layout with decoration using 2.2 materials
Appeal: this challenge should be added cuz since 2.2 came out, the 2.2 stuff released and most likely switchstep used these materials for Explorers.

[sudden pulsar]

Not a challenge in and of itself, more of a parameter; any layout you make must reach a target difficulty

[buoyant owl]

Its like that damn smallest circle problem all over again

[sturdy arrow]

no but this one easier

[sturdy arrow]

and its actually useful for some custom mechanics

wow!

[rose pewter]

Area tint I think

[rose pewter]

No idea what the insane challenge is about

[sturdy arrow]

proceduraly generate a song :D

[rose pewter]

I wonder if something like GD randomizer by Jeyzor can pass this

[buoyant owl]

Oooo wait I have a good suggestion

[opaque raft]

What is it

[buoyant owl]

Make a trigger system for a car that drives and automatically avoids any given obstacle

[opaque raft]

Interesting

[buoyant owl]

Actually why did I suggest this I hate trigger challenges

[rapid matrix]

hard challenge:make a structure thats of mythic-worthy quality.

[opaque raft]

?

[rugged brook]

i was doing the insane challenge and accidentally made fl studio

have to redo this now

[rugged brook]

damn making music is hard

is there an example

for insane

i need to know if i can half ass it or not

[rugged brook]

ok this one is impossible i give up

[rose pewter]

Wait making level or making music

[urban storm]

for day 26/2/26 challenges, make a 10+ layout using explorers/dash textures (DO NOT COPY LEVELS) [hard]

[civic steeple]

maybe it got misinterperated, or i wrote it badly, but now, the hard challange calls for a pretty inefficient design, the idea is to move the bar automatically based on an input value
oh well whatever

[deep scarab]

Can we move that hard challenge down to medium

Idek if it’s even possible to move a hp bar based on an input value in 0 ticks actually

[civic steeple]

"can we tier its difficulty down?"

questions if its even possibe

yes it is, I do it tons of times
or well, the moving part may have delay but the logical part is 0 ticks, so it can be processed multiple times per tick

[buoyant owl]

What does it even mean?

I don't get the thing with the ticks

Is it how count checks the value constantly?

[civic steeple]

game ticks. There shouldnt be any delays when you want to change the bars value.
this has the benifit that it can safely be triggered multiple times per tick.

you can use unremapped variables aswell if its 0 tick.

[mossy bison]

Medium Chall:

create a classic gp where the player will climb to the top of a building or smth, needs to atleast use 20 arrow triggers

its still open for suggestions right?

[sullen roost]

Here's a insane trigger challenge (bc why not) create a block coding system (similar to scratch) that can display turtle graphics. Requirements: include both directional move and x,y move functions, a rotate by and a set rotation function, a for loop, pen down and up functions, and display capabilities (must be able to hold it's drawing for at least 5 minutes without serious lag.) and include 3 different speeds: slow, normal, and fast. you may use a timewarp trigger, however the fast speed should be able to display a relatively simple image in a few seconds.

Might actually do this challenge for fun

.
Also here's an insane gameplay challenge because I don't think we've had one before:

Create a 1 minute layout where it's main gimmick is rotating around circles the player comes in contact with. The gameplay must feel smooth to play, sightreadable, and visually appealing (deco is not necessary but sloppy structuring will disqualify this submission)

And why not, here's a insane deco idea as well:
Create an elaborate block design that incorporates 20 random colors (5 on blending and 5 on opacities incrementing by 0.2) changing on every playthrough. You may use the trigger template listed here (insert trigger template id) Submitting any block design that does not have color in it will most likely be disqualified (exceptions to this rule include a black and white block design that successfully and impressively uses brightness to its advantage instead of a crutch.) Make sure you play through the level at least 3 times to properly showcase the block design*

Lol I did NOT see this message before suggesting those ideas 💀😭 (I am not that good at gp)

[rugged brook]

bro i cant even name 20 colors wdym use 20

[sullen roost]

Like a trigger setup will quite literally generate 20 random colors every playthrough and the block design has to look good no matter what

[rugged brook]

greyscale trigger

[sullen roost]

Even with that, the brightnessess of the grays will be random as well

[sullen roost]

But I am ab to add a clause that disqualifies this

There we go 😀

[rose pewter]

I wrote that mostly for people to drop an example on how things exactly work

[sullen roost]

Ah ok lol

[rose pewter]

Although many challenges here don't have a clear example

like this

[sullen roost]

The only one where I could successfully create an example would be the trigger one. The other ones I'm not confident in my ability to do 💀

[rose pewter]

great, you can drop a video of the setting working for the example

[sullen roost]

Yeah I can do that, (not right now as I'm in transit but when I have the chance)

[rose pewter]

sure

[rugged brook]

easy challenge:
make a custom animation for platformer (a door opening, an enemy appearing, etc) for platformer

[civic steeple]

Trigger Challange: Find a way to make a spawn loop with a pickup trigger that adds +1 to a counter trigger 1000 times per second. You arent allowed to copy-paste the loop several times.
(info: triggers usually cannot be spawned more then 240 times per second, due to some rules that prevent infinite loops.)
(solution: ||remaps inherit their own "cooldowns" for triggers, even if the remap doesnt affect any groups. so initialise the loop multiple times with a remapped init, the remap can be the same like 100->101.||)

Trigger Challange: Find a way to detect if a player is on mobile or PC (or more technically, if they are on ARM or x64)
(solution: ||mobile and PC handle item variables sightly differently. When an item edit trigger sets an item variable to infinity by typing "inf" it will return a positive value on PC and a negative value on mobile. Then simply check if the item variable is positive or negative.||)
this one will probably be rejected since it needs a bypass and a person with 2 devices but oh well

[civic steeple]

Trigger Challange: Make a smooth particle trail that doesnt create gaps when moving quickly.
(solution: ||the orange icon follow the player. the particle follows the orange icon with normal follow. the particle advfollows the white cirlce with an easing of ~20. the particle has an area effect that scales its x and y the further away from the white circle it is + an area effect that scales the particle to 0 when inside the circle but this is not a must have. the red triangle advfollows the player with an easing of 5 and rotatedir. the loop spawns the particle on the red triangle with rotmatch enabled 50 times per second. The transformation of the particle carries through the particle spawn, thus a scaled particle is spawned. the follow setup, where a target object is followed by a particle and the particle advfollows a point, allows you to get the targets speed in form of distance to the white circle, which you can then use to apply area effects. Of course it doesnt have to be this exact setup, condition is that the trail isnt tearing due to speed.||)

[civic steeple]

Trigger Challange: Find a way to make a Pseudo-Random Number Generator without using any random events such as random triggers, move with multiple targets or some weird GD quirks. The system should be deterministic, so given the same input value, the same sequence of Pseudo-Random numbers are generated.
(solution: ||Use a formula to approximate randomness, like Random=(((Index * Mod1 + Mod2)/1000)-(Flr((Index * Mod1 + Mod2)/1000)))*1000. For additional randomness, if index is even, Mod1=Random, if its uneven, Mod2=Random and of course, index +1. Then for a random event, check the random value. For example, for a 20% chance to pulse the BG red, get random, check if random is above 800.||)

[civic steeple]

Trigger Challange: Find a way to make less than 40 groups into 1000 seperate events. (like 1000 different colored pulses)
(Solution: ||make a decimal converter and give each event 4 groups. 3 for the toggles of each digit and 1 as a general event group. Say you input a digit like 253, toggle off the general event group so they dont spontaniously trigger, seperate the individual digits 2, 5, 3 then run each through a list of comps from 0 to 9 that toggle of their target group if the value is not equal. this leaves you with 3 groups that will not be toggled. for laying out the groups, its like a 3d grid, 10 groups for rows, 10 groups for collumns, 10 groups for heights. 9 out of 10 rows/collums/heights will be off, leaving you with one cross section, which will be the only thing left toggled on. you toggle on the general events group and spawn it.||)

[rose pewter]

Holy

[rose pewter]

Is spawn trigger random interval allowed?

[sturdy arrow]

not deterministic

[analog oracle]

"Find a way"
looks inside
only one way

._.

[civic steeple]

no randomness allowed at all

[civic steeple]

well, its one proposed solution.
You can find others of course.

[urban storm]

Make a 20+ layout with LemmyLada's Music like "Castle of Calamity" but you must use creative decorations
(Challenge D)

[analog oracle]

"layout"
looks inside
needs deco

[buoyant owl]

People lost the plot with layouts when overture came around

[rose pewter]

Visual

[rose pewter]

Now that you said this, when did it become a thing

[buoyant owl]

No idea, I have vague memories of an image going around on the owner advertising it as a scam link and it just blew up

[rose pewter]

Damn layout lore

Maybe after 2020?

[runic acorn]

Easy challenge suggestion: make 30+ second of gameplay with a randomized pick-a-path gimmick like in the level dll by galofuf

[runic acorn]

Wait no make it a medium challenge

[coarse grove]

might be a hard challenge

https://youtube.com/shorts/QVXVmK54Ep4?si=oHLaAVp2x4x99i7B

[opaque raft]

Dorabae Casino

[rugged brook]

Medium/hard
Make a 20+ second layout where every click must be unique (for example, if you used a yellow orb somewhere in the level before you can’t use it again, unless you use it in a distinct way)

We need more hard gameplay challenges

There are some easy and medium

And insane

But I haven’t seen any hard

[runic acorn]

U mean all that voodoo stuff u were doing a while ago

[rugged brook]

Yes exactly

[runic acorn]

That's actually a good idea ngl

[rugged brook]

And there’s a lot of different ways to do it

Like either change game modes constantly

Or do my way

Or just do every orb/pad sparingly

[runic acorn]

I see

Sounds like an insane

[rugged brook]

If it was 30 seconds it’s an insane

20 seconds is way easier though

[runic acorn]

why are there no demon challenges

[rugged brook]

Weekly challenges

[runic acorn]

Those exist?

[rugged brook]

No

But they should

Extreme demon challenge: make a minute long section of a level with epic-rated level decoration and gameplay

[runic acorn]

I'm pretty sure that was an insane challenge 2 days ago

[rugged brook]

That wasn’t a minute long section

[runic acorn]

Oh yeah

[sturdy arrow]

that was 7 seconds

[opaque raft]

Watch me make ship gameplay

[rugged brook]

Uh

Have fun making unique ship clicks

Idk how you are gonna do that

[runic acorn]

Ight I'm heading out. Got 57% on chompo and I wanna beat it

[opaque raft]

"hold for 0.5s, hold for 0.51s, hold for 0.52s"

[rugged brook]

Eh still the same click imo that’s not fun

[runic acorn]

Hope they pick my idea

[sturdy arrow]

imo its kinda ambiguous like how long do you need to hold for a short ship click to br a long hold

[rugged brook]

Yeah so a ship click is considered a ship click and you can only ship click once

Unless there’s an orb

Problem solved

[opaque raft]

Is the first green orb click the same in theory?

[sturdy arrow]

is a cube orb click the dame as a robot orb click

[rugged brook]

The first one yeah why not

Bro why are yall asking me it’s a medium challenge

[opaque raft]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rugged brook]

Good enough is enough

[opaque raft]

I guess

[rugged brook]

Does design mean make in gd or design in any app like a concept art

If it was make in gd I’d expect it to be Create like the hard challenge and not Design

[junior coral]

in gd

wdym hard challenge

[rugged brook]

in hard challenge it says create

which more clearly means in gd

[junior coral]

oh ok

[sturdy arrow]

in gd

[warm remnant]

all challenges are GD ones

[keen fjord]

Medium-Hard Challenge(s):
Recreate any pokemon using 100+ objects

[rugged brook]

that seems like the any creature challenge

but less

[green kraken]

what about maybe a hard challenge: recreate a pokeball and make it spin at least 360 degrees (3d animation, must decorate all perspectives)

[rugged brook]

what about insane challenge: make a full turn based battle system for platformer

like in pokemon

[sturdy arrow]

oo

yes

[analog oracle]

genuine suggestion: rewrite Hard Challenge 15's description, it's a tad bit confusing

[keen fjord]

Easy Challenge:
Create a practice mode detector
(Medium version): Make it disable a death effect

[Also is my hard challenge from last night not gonna get rated]

[junior coral]

medium challenge: make a block design using rainbow colors and no grey tones, black, or white

[rugged brook]

medium challenge: make a block design using only objects that have collissions (either red blue hitboxes or any others like portals and orbs) (and maybe no notouch)

(not sure)

[fallow canopy]

easy challenge: copy a popular level and change the gameplay of one part, must be over 10 seconds

[coarse grove]

medium challenge : make a 20+ second layout using any song from ncs (nocopyrightsound) library

[sturdy arrow]

no ids please
anyways this isnt the channel read https://discord.com/channels/414295025883545600/1476806098861428818

[fallow canopy]

Hard Challenge: Create a 20 second level with 2 songs that overlap, you can do this using the song trigger by putting the song on channel 1 instead of 0.

[rugged brook]

Please put the songs to the same bpm otherwise this is torture

[coarse grove]

real

also how the hell play the music in same time, this one is only played one song, unless it's sfx

mashup moment

[fallow canopy]

I just explained it bruh

If yall want a tutorial of finding songs bpm and making them play together i can give it

[warm remnant]

sorry we've been slipping up with adding challenges more quickly, gonna go through the ones from here soon 🙏

[rugged brook]

Woaw

I should be in charge of adding new challenges

All of the new challenges would just be killing an enemy in increasingly complex ways

[warm remnant]

pfft

[fallow canopy]

Normal Challenge: Make 15 seconds of flow gameplay but with only 2 gamemodes (I call it Semi-Flow personally)

Easy Challenge: Make 15+ seconds of gameplay that uses Force Blocks as a main element

Hard Challenge: Decorate a structure with only spikes

[rugged brook]

Easy challenge: make a block design using only value (everything must be the same hue and saturation)

Medium challenge: make 15 seconds of 2 player gameplay

[rugged brook]

Should be any structure imo

Not a specific one

More opportunity do be unique

And use spikes in fun ways

[fallow canopy]

I mean u can do that ig

[rugged brook]

Easy-Medium challenge: make a 15+ gameplay section where you switch game modes every few seconds

[fallow canopy]

Insane Challenge: Create a system that allows you to place and mine blocks anywhere. (At least 10 blocks)

[fallow canopy]

Oh i did that before

[rugged brook]

Terraria but gd

[fallow canopy]

Btw since i have made it before i cant submit it

[fallow flax]

final challenge would be to compile all of those in a video and upload it to youtube

"100 ways to DESTROY enemies in gd"

[fallow canopy]

100 ways to die in Minecraft

[fossil hedge]

Easy/normal challenge: make a 10 second+ layout using the offset dual gimmick

Wait is it already in

[rugged brook]

Medium-hard - make a unique platformer ability (dash, double jump, etc)

[smoky inlet]

Medium challenge
Create a block design with only one color id used, also the block design must be good with color variation and not only use single color.
(note : need to show block info so color1 and color2 on blocks has same color id)

This is useful for someone wanna try hsv tools

[coarse grove]

🔥

[sullen roost]

Insane challenge: make a triangle rasterizer in GD. Each tri should be a random color and the bg should be black. The screen size should be 50x27 and should be able to render 10 tris in less than 30 seconds

(even though I haven't done it yet I know it's possible)

Also ngl I think it would be cool if we could have a new tier of challenges, like a demon challenge that's really difficult (kinda like the insane challenge I just suggested) that gives an entire week to solve. Kinda like the weekly demons

And they could give a large amount of points too

Here's an idea for a demon challenge centered around deco: create a 5 second transition animation. The theme is of your choosing but the quality should be of par with levels such as eta carnes, emerald realm, ect. The animation should feel fluid and demonstrate the 12 basic principles of animation.

Idk just something to consider

[buoyant owl]

Insan Chall

A

[rose pewter]

Insane challenge: Make a 60 seconds layout using all objects within the orb tab and the trigger tab (exclude those shaders and enter effects)

[rose pewter]

(Have to use each objects in a certain way and not just place the objects there)

[sullen roost]

Nah let them use the shaders and enter effects. It's an insane challenge so it should challenge the creator

[rose pewter]

Alright

[fallow canopy]

Easy challenge: make a 10s+ layout that uses an asymetrical dual

[coarse grove]

i think we already have it

idk for this https://discord.com/channels/414295025883545600/1478607119291908167
or
that https://discord.com/channels/414295025883545600/1482057414705680558

[rugged brook]

Medium challenge: make 20 seconds of gameplay to a main level song

[frigid canyon]

Medium challenge: Make an asymmetrical dual of a specific length with an unusual gamemode combo (ie, cube and ball, ship and swing, robot and wave)

[opaque raft]

Make a dual where one player is a holdable one and another one is a clicking one

[rugged brook]

Hi potato thanks for

[craggy crag]

Bro we've only ever had like 10 passed insane challenge submissions, I don't think yall are ready for demon challenges yet 😭

[rugged brook]

I had one!!1

[craggy crag]

The longer term challenge is an idea tho

[rugged brook]

Insane should be updated every 2 days

Instead of being daily

And also more insane challenges that aren’t math and triggers

I’ve only seen 1 gameplay I think

[restive snow]

There are a good bit of non trigger ones now

I submitted a whole list about 2 months ago

its just that theres such a high skill ceiling for triggers

[green kraken]

Insane challenge (/hj): Make a level and get it rated (within the 1-2 days that the challenge is up)

[sullen roost]

We are about to have an 11th (I'm cooking rn)

Also ngl what if we made the insanes demons and made easier insanes?

Bc like that random level one took me the entire day and I barely submitted it on time

[fallow canopy]

Weekly demon

Weekly Demon: Make a fully decorated bossfight that uses a custom mechanic as a main feature

[opaque raft]

Extreme challenge that doesn't appear always

[frigid canyon]

extreme challenge: create a 1:1 replica of blender inside of geometry dash with the same rendering engine and shiii 🙏 /J

[sullen roost]

Y'all I thought I had it but it still has bugs 😭😭 but I'm so close

[sullen roost]

What's crazy is that I'm working on something... 👀 And if it works... 🫣

[frigid canyon]

NERDDDDDD! /SILLY

[fallow canopy]

DUUUDE SAME

but like not rlly sameeee

[sullen roost]

Ngl if I can get my thing to work it would legit revolutionize the game low-key (holy redundant)

[fallow canopy]

Bro like dude like bro

[junior coral]

whered the challenges go

wheres the new one

[smoky inlet]

Idk i skipping every insane challange for now

[rose pewter]

#challenge-info

[junior coral]

its changed ok

[analog oracle]

I thought challenges got nuked ngl lmao

[junior coral]

black and white block design againnn ok

[teal orbit]

Easy challenge suggestion:
Make an at least 15 seconds long layout with at least 3 speed changes

[fallow canopy]

Insane/Weekly Demon: Create a program that let's you paint in GD by moving a brush tool around the screen

[sturdy arrow]

hard/medium imo

[rose pewter]

unless you want to make it function like MS paint

[fallow canopy]

How

[sturdy arrow]

particle +advf

and some event triggers

[rugged brook]

lame

boring

make it overcomlicated for no reason

like erasing and selecting

for no reason

[sturdy arrow]

erasing change color to bg
selecting uh idk

[sullen roost]

ok so if you make a grid system then erasing and selecting is ez. do flood fill...

[fallow canopy]

Yeah i did that and my game crashed in 20 seconds

[sturdy arrow]

;-;

[fallow canopy]

Which is WHY i suggested it

[sturdy arrow]

skill issue get a better phone

p2w challenge

[fallow canopy]

IM ON MY PHONE

Nah bruh phones are expensive

[fallow canopy]

That doesnt fix it it just means it'll take 5 minutes instead of 20 seconds

Maybe less than 5 minutes

Also how would you change colors without one color being on top of another

[warm remnant]

put an x but i did add a similar challenge

[warm remnant]

kinda like the pathfinding one but with extra steps

[warm remnant]

what are turtle graphics?

[warm remnant]

can you make a trigger template for this please? to get it implemented

[warm remnant]

already used in the loops 2 exercise

[sullen roost]

Turtle graphics are basically a simple drawing system where you command a turtle to move across a canvas and paint! Turtle graphics - Wikipedia https://share.google/yNMveZYHiBACjSe6M

[sullen roost]

I can do it in a few hrs np!

Have to go to sleep tho

[sullen roost]

No way... I legit did not know that fact and that changes everything

And now I feel slow 💀

It's fine tho the more u know (sometimes I wonder how I'm even triggers 3 lol)

[warm remnant]

already exists

[warm remnant]

ohhh i see

[warm remnant]

tyty

[vague oracle]

normal-hard challenge: make some decoration inspired by the second half of acu with decent accuracy

scrap it any part

i just said second half because it might be a tiny bit trickier

[teal orbit]

Man I quit, why not😭

[rapid matrix]

easy gameplay challenge suggestion:create a 10+ second layout using only grounded gamemodes (cube, ball, spider, robot)

[crude oracle]

Easy-Normal Chall. Suggest:
Remake a decoration that is made from traditional/digital sketch (Image of sketch is NEEDED!)

[foggy urchin]

I was boutta suggest that

[hard geyser]

Make 20+ seconds of good deco without using triggers like this

https://youtube.com/shorts/xhblnuYWu8c?si=wJl0Wpsal76yCOd8

[foggy urchin]

Medium-hard gameplay chall
Make a 20+ seconds layout that looks like the aperture 3d part but the gameplay is different. The one that seems like you are going to the middle while you are actually just progressing like normal.

[rugged brook]

easy-medium challenge: make a unique transition betwen any 2 parts like in this video by AndreiStav13

[foggy urchin]

Easy-medium chall
Make a 20+ seconds layout with many ways to beat it, like when theres a part with 2 paths you can choose one and can still beat it. Or when theres many fake orbs but each of them just take you to a harder part if the level as a punishment, use the end trigger at the ending.

[foggy urchin]

Just maybe like noobawamba

[rose pewter]

progressing like normal

[civic steeple]

there is flaws to it though, it will not work nicely if you nest remaps

[warm remnant]

already exists

thats why

[civic steeple]

just out of curiosity, why not? already exists?

[rugged brook]

probably because only one solution and thats boring

but im not koma i dont know the real reason

[civic steeple]

it is just a suggested solution, just to verify its a thing you can do

[rugged brook]

idk im not a trigger person sorry

[civic steeple]

its probably just that it already exists somewhere under another name and i didnt find it, given its pretty useful

[vague oracle]

brp

[warm remnant]

too tedious

could be done with a smaller set of numbers but i'm not entirely sure how one would calculate it

either way yea my main issue is how you'd actually prove that you made 1000 distinct events. could just go with a theoretical proof but i think thats more boring than just showing what you did lol

[mossy bison]

medium chall: create a saw design considering 2000 objects or more

ts pops on my mind when i'm abt to fall asleep gng

[foggy urchin]

Wharado

[civic steeple]

fair
i wanted it to set high so people actually look into how to efficiently use toggle and binary/tertiary/whatever base conversions

[warm remnant]

could alternatively be something like "tie 30 actions to 4 groups" if you want to make it very restrictive while being limited

30 being a wild guess, you probs know a realistic number

[fallow canopy]

Easy Challenge: Move a Ship Portal 4 blocks to the right

[sturdy plinth]

Hard/insane challenge: make a bpi style block design/design

[rose pewter]

9?

[fluid goblet]

Hard challenge: create a run cycle animation

[queen swift]

Some animation challenge suggestions!

Medium challenge: make a water drop animation with atleast 5 frames

Hard challenge: make a 5 seconds animation using keyframes

Hard challenge: make a impact frame animation with atleast 5 frames

[fallow canopy]

Some Easy Challenges:

Easy Challenge: Make a Mirror Portal Instant

Easy Challenge: Make a rain particle

Easy Challenge: Make 10s of gameplay with the arrow trigger

Easy Challenge: Make 10s (Fastest Completion Time) of gameplay in Platformer Mode

Easy Challenge: Make Lava with Bubbling particles

Easy Challenge: Make a cannon that launches fireballs in 1 direction

Easy Challenge: Make an accurate 3D block (The normal 3D tiles won't work)

Easy Challenge: Make 10s of the hardest gameplay you can make

Easy Challenge: Make decoration based on the level Fingerdash by RobtopGames

[jagged dagger]

medium challenge: make an asymmetric dual gameplay for at least 15 seconds

[civic steeple]

30 for 4 is not possible view groups as bits, with 4 bits you cant have 30 unique values
Though also dont think of groups as bits due to some logic requiring 2 bits per group if you really wanna push it.
but in reality it shouldnt be that hard to prove, here's 100 possible events with 22 groups, perhaps to change condition from 100 unique events to toggling between 100 objects?

this isnt the most optimized setup, but the binary approach quickly reaches the groups per object limit, which gets rather annoying

(the collision dont serve a function, they are just there to more easily represent the 100 events)

[buoyant owl]

Hard Chall:
Create a 10x10 grid recreation of snake

This shouldnt be all too hard I think

The mechanics are simple and the only really way to make it harder is to increase the grid size or, add a mechanic

[foggy urchin]

-Insane challenge:

-Making a bossfight

-Time needed: many hours depending on quality

-make a unique bossfight consisting of a normal level with atleast 20 seconds gameplay of the bossfight. The bossfight must be unique with an interesting gimmicks ( like what you and the boss can do to interact with each other ). The boss also needs at least 5 animations. The gameplay can be a layout and undecorated.

-what this teaches: how to make a functioning bossfight and animations for the boss while also learning how to make good ideas and designs.

[weary flicker]

insane challenge. create a factorial that can be zoomed infinitely in or out

[rose pewter]

We have a 15 sec boss fight atm

[sturdy arrow]

zoom a factorial?

[rose pewter]

Fractal

[foggy urchin]

Aww

[buoyant owl]

Medium chall:
Create an array sorting system of any type

People are probobly gonna abuse "any" and do bogo sort actually 😂

[hard geyser]

Make a basic bossfight layout, the boss just have weak points for the player to hit and that drains a health bar, the player also has a health bar that decreases with every hit

[civic steeple]

oh my, what a bossrush, i may participate

General Challange: Make a simple platformer bossfight that uses the ball gamemode in some meaningful way.

[rose pewter]

What is a triangle rasterizer

[buoyant owl]

Make a bossfight that generally utilizes the force block in some way

(Idk I just wanted to add to the trend 😂)

What do yall think about my 10x10 grid snake suggestion tho

[rugged brook]

easy challenge: open any rated level with an at least somewhat complex trigger setup and figure out and explain what each trigger/part does

[rose pewter]

I think it's cool

[queen swift]

Some More challenge suggestions!

Medium/hard: make a 15 seconds layout with negative gravity as the main gimmick

Easy/medium: make a block design only using orbs

Easy/medium: make an enemy that follows the player and then make some sort of indicators that track its location/direction (e.g, covet's indicator from grace)

This reminds me of something scope

I can’t recall the name

[fallow canopy]

Can i explain my own

[slim igloo]

Hard/Insane Challenge: Create a setup in which you have two screens, that are at least 15x15 pixels each. One of the screens can have black and white pixels in any configuration and the other screen should output a blurred version of the image in the first screen.

[sturdy arrow]

insane ?

-# (idk given the square root is hard and this is a little bit harder ig its insane ?)
Create a trigger setup to calculate a^x, where a and x can be any real number.

hard challenge

Create a trigger setup to add, subtract, multiply, or divide two complex numbers.

[sullen roost]

Insane challenge:

Starting from (0,0), move a point to a given target position using only a sequence of rotations.
Each rotation must:

● Move the point along a circle of radius 10
● Use the point’s previous position as the center of rotation

You may use as many rotations as needed.

Insane challenge:

Create a real-time 2D grid-based water simulation with the following requirements:

● The simulation uses a grid of at least 16×16 cells
● Each cell stores a water density value
● The system updates over time to simulate fluid movement
● Water flows between adjacent cells based on simple rules, such as:
● Gravity (downward movement)
● Equalization (spreading to neighboring cells)
● The simulation includes solid cells that block fluid flow
● Each cell must visually represent its current state (e.g., color or height based on density)

[sturdy arrow]

thats already an exercise lol

[sullen roost]

really?

[sturdy arrow]

https://discord.com/channels/414295025883545600/1447085208347213835

[sullen roost]

better! now its original and difficult lol

[sturdy arrow]

woah demon challenge

should probably have a minimum size or else 1x1 grid of water

[sullen roost]

we honestly need this lol

Hard challenge?

● Implement arithmetic operations for numbers represented in scientific notation.
● Inputs and outputs may be in either standard scientific notation (a × 10^b) or or engineering-style notation (aE±n)
● Outputs should be normalized where 1 ≤ |a| < 10
● The system must handle both positive and negative numbers

[sturdy arrow]

insane challenge

create a realistic 5+ second animation of a person doing an action. The person itself does not need to look real (can be a simple blockout), but must follow correct anatomy and have realistic animations.

[sullen roost]

Hard challenge?

Recreate a lens distortion effect where the distortion is applied only within the bounds of the lens itself, without affecting the surrounding area.

● The lens can be any shape (e.g., circular or elliptical)
● The surrounding image outside the lens must remain unchanged
● The distortion should simulate real lens effects, such as magnification, barrel, or pincushion distortion
● The lens may be repositioned dynamically

[sturdy arrow]

is this dynamic ? or just like a deco challenge

[sullen roost]

its a deco challenge, mainly focused on masking effects

actually might be a medium challenge ngl

[sturdy arrow]

Medium challenge:

Create an autobuild tileset using the template provided in game.

-# dude i need to stop suggesting deco challenges this is gonna hurt my weekly points

[sullen roost]

Medium challenge?

Easy challenge

create a simple block design using only collectable objects

Hard challenge

Create a 1–2 minute platformer where the player’s death becomes part of the level.

● When the player dies, their body or a “death platform” remains in the scene and can be used to reach new areas
● The game should encourage creative use of this mechanic for traversal or puzzle-solving
● The level should remain playable and interesting even with multiple deaths

-# I don't even know if we have any platformer challenges lol

[sturdy arrow]

hardchallenge?

Create a trigger setup to colour an object based on RGB values stored in itemIDs.

off the top of my head theres the celeste one

might be it ;-;

[sullen roost]

that's more like hard. my rasterizer challenge legit requires it

[sturdy arrow]

right

-# that challenge should be a demon challenge but i digress

[sullen roost]

-# no for real. like i legit said it should be but whatever

[sturdy arrow]

hard challenge

● Each room contains hidden pickup items placed above, behind, or around objects to encourage exploration
● The placements should be creative and rewarding, giving the player a sense of accomplishment when found

[sullen roost]

i actually suggested that as a normal layout challenge lol

[sturdy arrow]

oh lol

why not both

[sullen roost]

ngl we are feeding koma5 rn 💀

[sturdy arrow]

Medium/Hard challenge idfk how hard it is to make a puzzle

Create a puzzle level. Only one puzzle is required, but you can add tutorial sections to introduce certain mechanics to the player if needed. The puzzle should follow basic puzzle design principles, such as providing all necessary information, having a clear goal, and being logically deducable.

[sullen roost]

might be too ambiguous. there are many types of puzzles, some easier than others

cool challenge tho!

[sturdy arrow]

yeah ik

is there one that might be too easy ?

[sullen roost]

a flick the switch puzzle where you have to find the right switch to move to the next level...

[sturdy arrow]

how do i fix htis mmm

could just let it have an easy way out

[sullen roost]

Hard challenge?

Create a 10-room platformer puzzle game inspired by Valve’s Portal mechanic.

● Portals should accurately conserve momentum, allowing the player to traverse puzzles using physics
● Some walls should allow portal placement, while others block it, creating interesting puzzle constraints

-# oh btw all of these ideas are mine, just cleaned up a ton by gpt lol.

Insane challenge (should really be a demon but whatever)

Recreate the SHA-256 hash function.

● Your implementation should take an input message of arbitrary length and produce a 256-bit hash
● It must follow the SHA-256 specification, including message padding, parsing, and round operations
● The output should match standard SHA-256 results for test inputs

[sturdy arrow]

im scared bro wtf is sha 256

ic

wtf am i looking at ?

[sullen roost]

its an encription algorithm

[sturdy arrow]

Hard challenge?

Create an art styled block design, using a maximum of X objects per grid space used by your hitbox objects.
-# X should be a low number, optimization focused challenge. the objects per grid space thing is so u cant cheese it by making a tiny ass block design. idk what x should be im not into this deco stuff

[sullen roost]

X should equal 3

[rose pewter]

guys slow down with the challenges

[sturdy arrow]

woah good idea

medium challenge

create a 20+ second layout with a slower speed than the 0.5x speed portal.

and the inverse
create a 20+ second layout with a faster speed than the 4x speed portal

bros been typing for 10 mins challenge cannot be this complicated 🙏 😨

[sullen roost]

Insane challenge

Create a trigger function that:
1. Takes a list of numbers representing Y values.
2. Treats each number as a point (x,y), with x initially 0.
3. Rotates each point by an angle θ around the top-most point
4. For each pair of consecutive rotated points:
● Construct the line perpendicular to the line connecting the points.
● Find the intersection of this perpendicular line with a horizontal line at the original Y value of the first point
5. Return the intersection points for all pairs.
-# Brownie points if you visualize it graphically

[sturdy arrow]

what the fuck

[sullen roost]

it kinda looks like this

it continues for all points

[sturdy arrow]

what does rthis mean bro

its dots and a # 😭

[sullen roost]

ngl this specific challenge might need a diagram to accompany this 😭

[sturdy arrow]

okay i got this far

step 1 and ste p2

or step 3 whatever

[sullen roost]

the top points are a copy of the leftmost points rotated by theta. the lines are the intersections between the perpendicular line to the rotated points and the horizontal lines

[sturdy arrow]

oh okay

[sullen roost]

like this!
-# removed image bc it wasn't correct lol

[sturdy arrow]

intersections for every single line ?

or just pairs

[sullen roost]

yeah no mb lol

[sturdy arrow]

okay

[sullen roost]

last challenge of the night:

Hard challenge

Create a function that graphs the Collatz Conjecture
● The function must be able to take any positive whole value and continuously calculate and render the output until it eventually converges into the 4-2-1 loop
-# if for whatever reason it does not converge into the 4-2-1 loop, check your answer with an online source. If the online source verifies your finding, congratulations, you just solved one of the hardest problems in the world

damn, 12 whole challenges...
-# nice

[sturdy arrow]

cant wait to accidentally disprove the collatz conjecture

[civic steeple]

oki im done with the challange

-# Granted it's not done yet but... -_-

-# it's being worked on...

[sturdy arrow]

its not ?

[sullen roost]

What does that mean? 😭

[sturdy arrow]

u need 18 seconds of "gameplay"

[sullen roost]

No... Im still working on it lol

[sullen roost]

Gameplay in quotations?

Means it's not normal gameplay

I'm concerned

Medium Challenge: Litterally just make good mirror portal gameplay, 20 seconds

[rugged brook]

you mean use a mirror portal and a reverse trigger

[fallow canopy]

Just mirror portal

If u want reverse u can use it

[rugged brook]

so then its just normal gameplay

but flipped in the editor lmfao

[fallow canopy]

Thats what a mirror portal is yes

If its not good you lose

[rugged brook]

no i mean mirror portal + reverse trigger + flip in the editor

and the mirror portal is cancelled out

despite being there

[fallow canopy]

Idk bro maybe

All i wanted was gameplay using the mirror portal

[teal laurel]

Mine was used today lol

I was so confused why I got a ping from this server

[elder river]

medium or hard gp challenge: make a 20 second layout using two arrow or two reverse triggers which ascend like this gp i made. make sure you cannot fall to the bottom. use an end trigger at the end so that you have an end. you dont have to decorate it but try using different speeds.

medium deco challenge: make a block design with only one colour channel and particles. make three to four variations and a spike design.

[rose pewter]

This is the combination of 2 challenges

Alright

[elder river]

nah they are two different challenges

[rugged brook]

that kind of? already exists with the make gameplay that generally ascends throughout

a lot of people already do this tower thing for that

[elder river]

ye but this different

[rose pewter]

Well yeah

Stricter for sure

I guess if we ever run out of ideas, we can start combining challenges

[sturdy arrow]

doubt we need to

still a large backlog of suggestions

i should probably get to those soon ;-;

[rugged brook]

you should get me on the team to choose cool challenges frfr

trust me ill choose the good ones trust

[sturdy arrow]

[rugged brook]

in my defense those are cool and good challenges

so im not wrong

[rapid matrix]

how is "Make a 20+ second layout using any song by Camellia" a medium challenge? it should be easy challenge

[elder river]

dont say it

medium gp challenge: make a 20 sec layout thatuses arrow triggersas a main gimmick

[smoky inlet]

the behind of that because camellia has high tempo music which unpredictable if making sync level

[sullen roost]

yeah

[elder river]

insane gp challenge: make a complete 60 second layout, only using dual with free mode. structuring and secret ways need to be fixed tho. The level mustnt be two-player

Insane Trigger Challenge

Create a system that takes a time-based signal (a list of amplitude samples) and decomposes it into its component sine waves.

• The system should extract the frequencies, amplitudes, and phases of the component waves
• It should be able to reconstruct the original signal using these sine waves
• The individual sine waves should be visualized or rendered

[fierce magnet]

changed it a little

[elder river]

why the hell are there always the same challenges

[half coral]

challenge: recreate a modern style e.g glow or art, with 1.9 limitations

[crystal wave]

Triggers insane challenge: Make an accurate 3 dimensional cube that can be rotated in two directions along all 3 rotational axis using platformer controls. every surface of the cube must be a different color. Here is a diagram of 3 dimensional rotational axes for reference:

[warm remnant]

already have a few 3d ones kinda like this

[half coral]

Today's bard challenge should be a medium imo

It's very obj spammy

[crystal wave]

i'm pretty sure this one is harder then the other ones because it requires backface culling but i havent seen the other ones so idk maybe they do too

[warm remnant]

one of them requires you to fully decorate a 3d object

like, all sides of it

which would also require backface culling

[crystal wave]

dam

ok

[elder river]

DEAR GOD WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS THE SAME CHALLENGES

[warm remnant]

if you want to see more then suggest more? there are plenty of hard & insane challenges, not as many easy ones

[elder river]

hmm good idea

[stiff steppe]

[pearl star]

Medium challenge - Make a 15 second decorated ball maze, inspired by virpin's parts in Hypersonic, Supersonic, Ultrasonic, or Subsonic

[civic steeple]

Trigger Challange: Make an HP/Damage system, where you can set the damage value to any value and have it reflect correctly in the Bars scale

The current hard challange "Create an HP/Resource bar using only :ItemEditCompPers:, :PickupTrigger:, :CountInstantCount:, Item, or :TimeEventControl: Timer triggers (no collisions). The bar's visuals should automatically update based on its value, so you won't use a separate move trigger to change the bar's size. The bar shouldn't go above or below the maximum value, and it should work in 0 ticks with no delays."
should be changed to
"make an HP system with bar, without using any triggers that move objects", once resued

[sullen roost]

[weary flicker]

insane challenge. create a layout using a full song. (at least one minute)

[drifting kayak]

bro the insane challenges these days are like "make a system where a pick-a-path maze is made by making every turn have an equal chance (like 50% left or 50% right, or 33% left, 33% right, 33% forward) and make 2 full 60 second layouts without using any sort of random triggers and at the end of each path make it so that it activates an item comp that determines what layout of the two you'll have to play, make sure you have 1000 objects or less"

😭

[weary flicker]

hard challenge.
make a 15+ second level that is unshowcaseable. meaning that you cannot bot it. this could be done via random triggers or weird gimmicks

[rugged brook]

first one is bottable because you can input a random seed

so its always the same

idk about gimmicks

[sullen roost]

Insane challenge

Make a 6 section puzzle level where every section introduces a new random predefined puzzle with each puzzle having an equal chance of occuring. The randomization system Cannot use any random triggers and the puzzles must be solvable in a single attempt. Each puzzle section should use less than 1000 objects

[zealous pelican]

(Easy) Insane challenge: create a 40+ seconds layout utilizing the TP loop gimmick throughout the whole layout and many directional changes. Additionally, the layout must use dual throughout the whole 40+ seconds and neither players should be off screen for more than 3 seconds. For better clarity of how the gimmick works, check https://youtu.be/YcpzWaSy2ZE?si=0ODx20LtlBqXO8sI and https://youtu.be/-gGj_R3yrWg?si=fJgB3OeEnj317da0

did anyone do the chicago bean one

why one one spend their time on that[

here guys look i just spent ten hours making a photorealistic accurate giant metal bean in a rhythm platformer

[sturdy arrow]

it doesn't need to be a bean

[rugged brook]

I saw one I think

[rugged brook]

Should be 45+ seconds at least

Not 60+

A 60+ second layout on its own is already an insane challenge

And this is that but 10x harder

[zealous pelican]

Ok might be 40+

Changed it a bit

And it embed now wow

[rose pewter]

Once successful submission so far

[mossy bison]

Insane chall: Create a demon difficulty 60+ sec layout with only using triggers and objects from the interactable tab (orbs, pads, portals), any other object are allowed (blocks) but they cannot kill the player at all cost (passable)

this sounds kinda dumb imo

[weary flicker]

easy challenge. create a 15+ second layout that utilizes timewarp in a meaningful way

[crystal wave]

medium challenge: create a 15+ second layout with about 7 or more clicks per second the whole way through

[vague oracle]

this is some god tier level spamming btw trust

[pure field]

(Med) A 10+ second (minimum duration could be changed) layout where the camera is static and stationary.

Basically, the camera doesn't move.

It is expected that the player will use arrow triggers and stuff.

Also, the level must end.

[pearl star]

Medium gameplay challenge - make a 15+ sec asymetrical spider dual, WITHOUT using the gimmick found in "GLORIOUS FORTRESS" by jam attack's dual part

Hard gameplay challenge - Make a 10 sec layout using the spider gimmick in "CRUSH" by subwoofer with a toggle orb in the beginning that disables this effect opening up an alternate coin route which should be accesable in the main path, but much harder

[zealous pelican]

Easy challenge: create a 15+ seconds layout using only cube while having an orb constantly follow the player

Another easy challenge: create a block design using only one object type

[crystal wave]

too easy, particle trigger

[half coral]

Create a block design reminiscent of the level "Roadcore" by Roadkiller

[rugged brook]

Medium challenge: Make 10/15+ seconds of gameplay that has a coin route. Both the normal and coin route should be consistent and balanced, with the coin route being slightly harder, it has to still be fun to go either route

[pure field]

(that one level with GRIEF ahh coin route)

(Extreme) A trigger function for the nth root of a number, where n ranges between 1 and 5. (Rounding may or may not be allowed)

Also:
(Hard to Extreme) A trigger function that determines the position of a point relative to another point in units of step.

[crystal wave]

thats not that hard at all

[crystal wave]

thats like medium

[small tulip]

Easy/Medium Challenge: make a 20 second cube/robot layout that only uses slopes

[pure field]

(Easy) 10+ layout where every click uses an orb. Very original, I know

[crystal wave]

yo the insane challenge is way too easy

i'ts literally free

imma do it tomorrow if i remember

oh wait

every direction

ehh its still not bad

wait is it any or every direction

am i allowed to make it only spin on the X axis or does it have to be all of them

[warm remnant]

any means an arbitrary direction

as in, it should be able to spin on any axis

x, y, z, a combo of them

[crystal wave]

so i only need to send a video of it spinning in one direction yes? sorry im a bit tired

[warm remnant]

sure

[crystal wave]

okkk

ty

[warm remnant]

np

[rose pewter]

I mean if you can send a video of the balls spinning in more than 1 direction then yeah

It’s better

[pure field]

So, not horizontal or vertical, but, in a way, both?

And I don't need it to change direction?

[rose pewter]

tbf the way it worded in the challenge you probably have to do that also

[keen mica]

Easy gp challenge: make a 10 sec gp part without using portals of any kind (aka gamemode portals, speed portals, size portals, mirror portals(rip) etc)

[zealous pelican]

Medium chall: create a trigger setup that calculates the Y and X position of player 1 to the precision of 10^-25 of the standard object grid with a clear numeric value/score that updates every tick

-# yes ts a joke

[keen mica]

Easy challege: Create a 10s decorated level that's better than skeletal extremigans

(/j)

Medium challenge: Create a block design using only one type of object

[zealous pelican]

Literally what I suggested before

But would be fun tho

[keen mica]

oh uhh oopsie

[zealous pelican]

Obj one

It's fine tho

Literally a very generic idea that everyone can think of

[keen mica]

This one might need an example.

[keen mica]

Hard: make a 30+ sec memory level layout without using any form of passable blocks(aka no NoTouch, Passable etc)

Any shape could mean... any shape

[pure field]

Fr

Might be hard to come up with a function for a shape

There must be a better way to explain this

[keen mica]

welp

[pure field]

Like, a maze

what is the area of a maze?

[keen mica]

hard: make taiko in gd to a camellia song

[rugged brook]

Easy/medium: make a block design using only secondary colors

[pure field]

Weekly Demon ahh challenge

[pure field]

That's the easiest medium I have ever encountered

[keen mica]

Insane challenge

https://youtube.com/shorts/0mb49YYK_BQ?si=iIdOxWgVjM04dMne

[rose pewter]

We have a similar challenge like this iirc

[rose pewter]

I swear most of lappwv's stuff in their shorts are super inconsistent

and/or buggy

[weary flicker]

oh okay

ive never seen it so i wouldnt know 😭

[rose pewter]

last time it appeared was March 17th though

[keen mica]

idk it just appears sometimes and its funni gimmick

[rose pewter]

They made trouncy balls btw

[keen mica]

huh

i have not seen that lol

[weary flicker]

ohhh thats why i havent seen it

okay ty

[urban cobalt]

Gameplay challenge
Make a layout that uses teleport portals as the main object
Or
Make a 1.9 block design
What Purpose?
So people learn how to use teleport portals as it makes good gameplay (not all the time)
So people learn how to make both 2.2 block design AND old block designs for nostalgia or the players who can't make the block designs we use nowadays as it will still be rated. (Again, not all the time)

Gameplay challenge
use slopes as the main gimmick
Or
Use reverse blocks as the main gimmick
Purpose
So people can learn more types of gameplay as not much levels are using these objects even if they are fascinating.

[pure field]

Edit: You may use HSV (except for the 'Hue')

Medium (or Hard?): Make a 'mouse' cursor inside the level that can select and move objects.

Easy?: Make a block design using those 'audio pulsing' objects (idk what they are called). Submit a video with audio for validation. The block design must fit the song . You may use color and pulse triggers.

[civic steeple]

i could do it in one tick 😎
... with a considerable amount of collision blocks

[pure field]

Third requirement, less than 50 collision blocks

[civic steeple]

oh well, i cannot do it in one tick

but in a few possibly

depends on how big of a binary i can make with 20 collision blocks

[pure field]

There's actually a cool thing you can do

Without binary

[civic steeple]

units in steps as in the position units (30/gridspace)?

[pure field]

I guess

Whatever the move trigger means

[civic steeple]

oh my thats very accurate

[pure field]

It is also what is used for player positioning

(The X and Y was removed on the nerd stats in the recent updates of GD though)

[civic steeple]

the move trigger has 2 units, its own 10/gridspace units and the "real" small steps, 30/gridspace units

[pure field]

Yes

[civic steeple]

so which of them is it?

[pure field]

Small steps

Wait

There

[civic steeple]

wow, nothing!

absolutely splendishious

[pure field]

But I did it before

Surely you can think of something

Aight wait

[civic steeple]

if i got my theory right, the fastest you could be using a straight line instead of X/Y at 1000 blocks would be 300 ticks

its quite a tricky issue
i myself have been trying to think of a good method to find the x/y offset and get it as Int/Float of a block fast relative to another

[pure field]

Let me make one that can do exactly this

I have one, but it's slower

Though the idea is still the same

[civic steeple]

maybe we should provide proof that our suggestions are possible if appropriate

[pure field]

Wait for um
A hour maybe?

[civic steeple]

ill be fast asleep but it would still be good for the mods and such
i think? maybe? possibly?

[fierce magnet]

Medium challenge: Create a masking effect and made a block design from the masking

[pure field]

Did some edits

[rugged brook]

Hard challenge: Make a block design where the only visible part is gradient triggers (you can use any objects as the vertices/sides, but they must be hidden, no other objects visible)

[pure field]

In hindsight, this might be too specific for a challenge.

Welp

These colors must not be changed in any way in the design. The 'block' to be designed must have a length of at least 6 blocks and a height of at least 7 blocks I am serious. The design must be epic-grade, which will be decided by the graders.

[rugged brook]

A basic 60 second is an insane challenge no way twice that would be a hard

Exists

There should be easy/medium trigger challenges

Rn there are only hard and insane

Lemme think of some

Normal: Animate a bossfight animation

Medium: make a 15+ second layout using scale triggers as a main mechanic

Casual: make a 10+ second layout utilizing a lot of camera movements. The camera should make sense and fit the vibe of thelayout

[elder river]

ok fair enough

no like draw it

[sullen roost]

thats also easy 😭

actually its easier than finding the value 💔😔

[keen mica]

wait wha

[sullen roost]

you just use a rotate trigger and move the obj and center in a line

the faster you move/slower you rotate, the wider the phase,

amplitude is just the dist of the obj from the center

[keen mica]

oh

[sullen roost]

its legit an easy - medium chall

prob easy
