Challenge Suggestions

[vague oracle]

this actually might be insane

[warm remnant]

+ y mod. Easy challenge

[keen mica]

dang

[keen mica]

oh wait im dumb make that an easy trigger challenge instead

[rose pewter]

I swear man this medium challenge gotta be a hard one

[crystal wave]

medium challenge: make 15+ seconds of gameplay with a gimmick where you hit toggle orbs to rewind time.

[pure field]

Nah...
Insane chal: Make a trigger system that gets the sine of a sine of a sine of a sine of a sine of a sine of an angle or sin(sin(sin(sin(sin(sin(angle)))))). The unit of the angle must be in degrees.
-# that is 6 sines

As to how you do it...

Use whatever

No precision constraints this time

[keen mica]

so

0

to the nearest degree

so if i just have a toggle trigger that displays 0

thats a free insane chal

[pure field]

You do know we have common sense

Oh, and angles must be between 0 and 360

If I said "without Taylor's" you guys will go full analog

[civic steeple]

maybe limit it to item triggers only
probably still wouldnt be insane but it would be a lil less trivial

[keen mica]

max(sin x) = 1

so max(sin (sin x)) = sin 1 =very small number

[pure field]

Yea

Find it

[keen mica]

so sin sin sin sin sin sin x is gonna be teeny weeny

[pure field]

Yea

Find it

[keen mica]

its gonna be 0 degrees

or 0.00 degrees to 2 d.p

[pure field]

How many zeros?

Nah I'm kidding

Can we make challenges that use area triggers?

[keen mica]

1.619x10^-9

thats the max

[pure field]

Nice

[keen mica]

so

0.0000 to 4d.p

[pure field]

Big enough

Forget that one, it was made on a whim

Hmm

[pure field]

^^^

Medium: Using only area color(?) triggers, make a glitching effect on a 20+ second classic level.

[civic steeple]

trigger challange: detect if the player is to the left, right, or x distance away from an object, while keeping collision below the scale of 1

[pure field]

Insane (or hard idk): Make a sphere effect that mainly uses area triggers.

[civic steeple]

here, that'll need area triggers

[pure field]

what does the last phrase mean?

[civic steeple]

collision blocks cannot be bigger then the scale of 1

[pure field]

Oh

What's the max range for the distance part?

[civic steeple]

It should be settable to anything

[pure field]

Oh

X distance

I see

Like, if you are [blocks] away, it triggers

[civic steeple]

yes

[pure field]

Oh that is insanely easy

(For me)

I like it

[civic steeple]

yeah, but itll need area triggers
well... unless you place like 5000 collision blocks

[pure field]

Nah, defeats the purpose

Could be a medium or a hard

[opal sun]

didnt we have one with 2 players using seperate cameras

[pure field]

Area triggers?

Oh, how about:

Insane: Make a 60+ second layout where the camera is vertically static (does not go up or down)

[pure field]

Wait

Oh that is genius!

It could replace collision blocks in some cases

It doesn't need to be a player

[civic steeple]

this is kinda my aim for challanges
they should make you discover some new trick

[pure field]

I kinda had the idea before

But it wasn't ripe

Now, to test this one day

[vague oracle]

wait is this chall actually peak tho

[rapid kiln]

bro is self glazing

[vague oracle]

just asking?

[rapid kiln]

what

of fuck

you said is this

i though you said this is

[vague oracle]

im asking if the challenge is good i dont understand how its self glaze but okay

[rapid kiln]

reading is hard (reference)

[rapid kiln]

i thought you said "this is" not "is this"

[vague oracle]

oh

[rugged brook]

hi thats me

[keen mica]

alr i've seen a lot of block deco challenges

so

Medium: Ceate and decorate 5+ second of gameplay that's inspired by a 1.9 creator

Medium: Decorate 10+ seconds of asymmetric dual gameplay

Hard: Create 10+ seconds of dully decorated effect level similar to SayItBack

[crystal wave]

insane/maybe a bit easier: create a spinning 3d cube with live 3d shadows

[crystal wave]

hard challenge: create 15+ seconds of gameplay effectively utilising the dual gimmick from "Find the answer" by qalli. explanation on gimmick found here: link to that video on qalli's channel (my youtube is broken i cant link it)

[pure field]

dully

Insane: Create a 20+ fully decorated level with less than 100 objects

[keen mica]

oh no not that...

[opal sun]

hard/insane challenge: find a circle that will go through 3 points provided the coordinates (or find the circle that would fit 3 or more points)

[rose pewter]

we do have a similar one

[opal sun]

do we

i js thought of this idea

im only asking for circles specifcally

[rose pewter]

well find a circle encloses n points (on and inside a cricle)

[opal sun]

is it insane challenge

[rose pewter]

yes

[opal sun]

oh thats cool

[rose pewter]

3 is the lowest number of points requires for this challenge

Cause 2 was free

[keen mica]

Insane? Challenge:
uhh
https://youtube.com/shorts/Tlks4_Kjy0c?si=p0UqfIdc5BqUzFaC

[rose pewter]

exactly how the minecraft challenge would work in practical settings

btw the channel name looks oddly familiar

[pure field]

Wdym by practical settings?

[rose pewter]

applied that and turn the idea into a level

also I realized the video was made by Kat

[queen atlas]

Insane challenge idea: Implement a trigger systems which fast Fourier transforms any given signal into a list of sine wave frequencies.

[rapid kiln]

medium challenge: create a block design based on 3d cylinders with realistic shadows

easy challenge: create 15+ seconds of cube gameplay without solid blocks

that is really easy

[fierce magnet]

Alright

Easy challenge

[crystal wave]

its @deep willow

[deep willow]

Haii yes

[rose pewter]

yeah

[deep willow]

Hard challenge: create a gravity system similar to outer wilds, which lets players walk around planets, and float with no gravity when not near a planet, gravity has to be pointing towards a center of mass. For your sake, use jetpack during this.

[deep willow]

This is already an insane challenge btw i made it out of that

[deep willow]

Also i tried this and honestly failed so id really like to either try this again or see what people come up with

[crystal wave]

i can do this

wait

if i remember ill do this

[deep willow]

I think what got me was i used cube

Although this takes knowledge over the games physics engine to work

Leme take a look actually

[deep willow]

138689932

Decent enough

Honestly too easy to be insane

Its just force blocks

Nothing like THE FRICKING ORI ONE

"On par with WotW" that game is a MASTERPIECE

[crystal wave]

i have a better one. it has to be physically accurate

[white bolt]

Challange medium-hard -> trying to make a functional death orb with custom design

[pure field]

Oooooo

Make it a cube

Where it jumps like how you'd imagine it to jump in a planet

Iykyk

You can just use like 5 groups per planet if that is the challenge

[elder river]

medium gp challenge: make a gameplay which is actively changing gamemodes in a flowy type gp like kyouki or acu

[rose pewter]

do you have a reference video for this

[rapid kiln]

it is an easy challenge max

[rapid kiln]

medium challenge: create a sprinting system in platformer, being able to sprint either left or right

peak

[deep willow]

Insane challenge (probably higher) make a 3d box gimmick where you use a button, or control to rotate a plain which you play on inside of a 3d cube, you must be able to turn any direction, any objects placed inside need to be translated into a 2d plain. Rotation of the plane only are required to be in 2d (around the center)

Always wanted to make this but never devoted the time, i want an excuse too

[deep willow]

Possible extension would be 3d rotating of the grid, although i doubt that thats possible in a 2 day timeframe

[rugged brook]

arent insanes like weekly or smth

[sturdy arrow]

3 days

[deep willow]

3 days

[rugged brook]

damn

[deep willow]

Im gonna start sending all my advanced creator ideas here as insane (demon) challenges

[sullen roost]

Ok ngl kinda gave me an idea lowkey.

Insane challenge

Create a system where for 8 arbitrary points in a 10x10x10x10 area can render a 3d mesh of the current 3D slice in 4D space.

Mesh must include blackface culling and be able to render in real time with dynamic updates.

[sullen roost]

Ok now that I think about it this might be way too hard 💀

[deep willow]

Gang ive been wanting to make a 4d rendering system but thats a bit TOO hard

Maybe if we get weekly extreme demon challenges

Monthly*

[warm remnant]

ended up kinda adding this one in

[sullen roost]

No...

[warm remnant]

isnt this kinda like fez?

[sullen roost]

WHYYYYY?!?!?!?😭😭😭

[sullen roost]

unfortunately no. It's more like super paper Mario in a sense that you are rotating a view inside of the space instead of around it

It's not easy

[sullen roost]

Bro I'm so sorry 😭😭 I didn't actually think it would pass

[warm remnant]

imean fez is basically like that w/o doing additional 3d rotations

[deep willow]

Mm no

Fez is not what im imagining

I mean like a 3d cube

Where you, the player, a 2d being exists within

However using some form of controler then can change the plane to move, making different objects appear

[warm remnant]

so for example, P1 to move the player around and P2 to rotate the actual cube?

[deep willow]

Yeah

However the plane should be able to move

[crystal wave]

insane challenge: touch grass

[sullen roost]

Insane challenge

go through your sent gd messages without cringing (Impossible)

[rugged brook]

insane challenge:
find where robtop lives get on his pc and rate your own level

ok that might be a hard not an insane

[keen mica]

INSANE CHALLENGE

make a fully decorated geometry dash level. You are not allowed to use any form of pre-existing technology and must create the device you will ise to build the level in from scratch

Insane challenge: Make a top 10 extreme demon where every click must be an orb and the deco must be mythic worthy.

[opal sun]

what

[keen mica]

Insane challenge: create a geometry dash level, the pc to run it on and the electricity to use the pc one atom at a time.

[opal sun]

🦃

i have nothing to say

[keen mica]

Insane challenge: you know what atp just make 2.3

[pure field]

Oooo

[pure field]

Wdym by technology?

You want me to make Resonance on a Samsung Refrigerator?

[pure field]

Huh

[rose pewter]

orbit

[pure field]

Insane Challenge:
Using area triggers, find the real roots of a quadratic equation. The output can be analog (I can't think of a better way to phrase this part).

[rose pewter]

wdym by analog

[pure field]

Like sliding

Rule

Stuff

[half coral]

huh

[rose pewter]

oh well

lemme google it

[pure field]

Oh, and the marks must be evenly spaced

[half coral]

as in decimal values?

[pure field]

Like a pointer pointing on a ruler

Makes it easier ig

[rose pewter]

so essentially solve quadratic equations using area triggers?

[pure field]

Yea

Oof

I still need to submit proof

[rose pewter]

so just area triggers and nothing else?

[pure field]

It would be funny

But idk

It should be included in the

'Thinking' stage

Or something

It would also be interesting if the input is also 'analog'

[rose pewter]

oh that why area triggers are used

[pure field]

That's a 'can,' not a 'should'

Well, depends on the judge

[rose pewter]

also depend if this is going to be added

[pure field]

Frrr

Again, I need to prove that it is possible

Though a lot of things come to mind

"The proof of this exercise cannot be contained in this small margin."

[keen mica]

no

make a samsung refrigerator

[pure field]

No

[keen mica]

o ok

[rapid kiln]

make block design based on this thing cuz why not

[sullen roost]

HOLY

WHY IS IT SO LOUD?! 😭

[rugged brook]

the shit hakita will put in 8-e

[keen mica]

tf is tha

bro got a ＂ ＂

[rapid matrix]

i think you guys misunderstood

[bleak widget]

Insane Challenge: Make high quality deco themed around steampunk theme 15 seconds

[pure field]

Ooooo

[rapid kiln]

desmos 3d
x=z/y
y=x/z
z=y/x
xyz=a
a is moving

[keen mica]

o ok

[pure field]

Yeah sure make a 3d-graphing algorithm and use that to make a block design that follows perspective at any distance from the player

[keen mica]

how about

i just not do that challenge

and instead i go spend too much effort on a joke level

[rapid kiln]

no just make smth that looks like this shit

[rapid kiln]

that can be insane chal lol

[deep willow]

Insane challenge: Make a working 2D combo fighting game, similar to Super Smash Bros, with atleast 1 base attack, 1 combo attack which behaves differently based on when its used, and one form of movement ability. Also make an enemy AI which has the same controls as the player, and can perform the same attacks.

Possible extension: make it so if you press certain buttons very quickly in a sequence you perform different variations of an attack

[rose pewter]

Street fighter

[trim bane]

Find the prime factorization of a integer from 2 - 100

[grim dome]

Hard challenge: Make a session multiplier and a timer for money and exp. No negative integer or override; the session multiplier timer should always be reset. After it reaches 0. Session Multiplier UI texts and timer need to disappear. Now, how do we get money? Make scraps mechanic! Scraps need to give exp. And scraps should be collected and disappear after you get them. Then sell scraps. That's it! Use Item, toggle triggers, spawn trigger, and UI trigger if u want. Add sfx if you want

[rugged brook]

Medium: make a block design inspired by an album cover art

[rapid kiln]

peak

[crimson tree]

Easy: make a 15 seconds layout using a randomly generated song from Newgrounds using this site https://perchance.org/ngsong

[smoky inlet]

Easy: Create a block design with only use 1 single objects

Medium: Create a block design with only use text objects

Medium/Hard: Create a wallpaper only use text objects. The wallpaper should be readable what do you want to drawing.
The reference, see the level XXIX by Spu7nix

My guess its should be medium, also i suggest this

[pure field]

Should be medium on the wallpaper one

[queen atlas]

I think you really like object minimal levels

[pure field]

Speaking of object minimal levels:
Insane: Make a 30+ second layout using 50 objects or less

[smoky inlet]

True

Last one

Hard: Create +5 Second animation without looping the animation. You can use any objects for decoration, but the trigger only use keyframe trigger.

[smoky inlet]

Note: this one is denied before but idk why this challange got denied

[willow osprey]

Easy/Medium Challenge

Make a 10+ second layout revolving around the spider pad orb.

[rapid kiln]

less than 1% of songs are by a whitelisted artist

[opal sun]

medium chall: make a trigger setup which checks if a number is prime

[deep willow]

Medium challange: make a for loop withOUT using an item id.

[rapid kiln]

more like hard i think cuz amything math is either hard or insane

[trim bane]

Check if a number is divisible by another number

In a 4 by 4 grid of 1s and 0s, check if there exists a 3 in a row of 1s

[keen mica]

so

just spam item comp

?

[trim bane]

That’s the only way I can think of

[civic steeple]

thats a single trigger?

oh wait FOR loop

cant read

[hybrid matrix]

Easy/Medium challenge:

decorate a simple structure in the hybrid style of 1.9 & glow ?

idk how this works ...

[pure field]

Me neither

[warm remnant]

“1.9 style” is such a misnomer

[half coral]

you mean 1.9 restrictions?

and a lot of glow design can be done in 1.9

p common acc

[dry bronze]

Decoration Medium Challenge
Decorate the same structure in 3 different styles. Example: glow, pixel, cartoon
Purpose: people should unveil their weak and strong sides by trying different things, finding the best conditions to build cool levels

[dry bronze]

The solution: check a random amount of songs until you find one by a whitelisted artist (jk)

Trigger Hard Challenge
Make a setup that can find the intersection point of the medians of a triangle (which is represented by 3 dots)
Purpose: learning more about trigger systems is important

[dry bronze]

For example how it should look like

[dry bronze]

Should it check if the number is divisible by every single number smaller than it? I mean, yea, you can make KIND of "for" loop, but if we talk about large numbers, this gets kinda insane

Hmm...

Although, I like the idea

[rose pewter]

we can have a harder version of this

[dry bronze]

I found the way to do it with 2 comps and 4 edits

[dry bronze]

Wdym

[dry bronze]

Made it btw

[opal sun]

i js stop checking when the number is divisible the checking number

[dry bronze]

I made a super smart system that bugged many times but it works

That uses kind of a square root

But it's definitely working I'd say

[dry bronze]

I can make that, but it will take so much longer

[dry bronze]

Is it a pass btw

If the challenge is approved

[dry bronze]

Also it's 23 groups only

[dry bronze]

Btw, this challenge actually teached me some things with item ids

[dry bronze]

Easy/medium trigger challenge (i think more medium because item triggers are complex): make a working calculator

[opal sun]

i guess?? the challenge only asked to check whether a number is prime

[opal sun]

how complex should it be really

like does it only need basic addition multiplication or st

or does it need exponents

[dry bronze]

Basic, no square roots or exponents

[dry bronze]

Well it does, and it 100% works

[hybrid matrix]

essy challenge: make a 15 second layout using the mirror portal in different ways (no spam)

pwsss i love the mirror portal i need this

[urban storm]

Medium challenge: make a 30+ layout only using MDKs Song (example: Critical Hit, Arcade Dwellers, etc.)

[rugged brook]

hard: make a 25+ second layout to a song with clear vocals. you must sync the gameplay to both the instrumental and vocals in some way

[rose pewter]

ooh, I found a good song for this

[bleak widget]

The person who suggested this one is genuinely a madman

[half coral]

some insane and hard challenges I bet have never been completed

e

[rugged brook]

This one hasn’t yet

I’ve tried but it lowkey should be a weekly

Demon challenge or something

[trim bane]

Make a difficulty face without using the premade objects in the particles tab

[bleak widget]

Insane Challenge:

Touch grass

[dry bronze]

Insane challenge ❌
Impossible challenge ✅

[rapid matrix]

easy challenge:recreate a 2.2 object (decoration, gameplay etc.) only using 2.1 and below objects

[rugged brook]

2.2 added multiple blank squares

you could place the regular one and scale it down a bit

😭

[hybrid matrix]

Medium challenge: Make a 15 second layout using the most out there gameplay possible (way outta your comfort zone)

e.g. krmal for literally everybody

[rapid matrix]

thats why i put it as a easy challenge

[rapid matrix]

because a lot of 2.2 decoration are pretty easy to recreate in 2.1

[rose pewter]

Should we nerf today medium challenge

[fallow flax]

ngl we should allow regular blocks for it cuz 2.2 didnt really add any hitbox objects apart from the death blocks

[rose pewter]

this 👆

[smoky inlet]

General Suggestion

Add pending command for challange forum
(-pchall 1416326824937521182 a) or (-challp 1416326824937521182 a) for someone afraid the streak reset because small mistake on challange

Instead of being ignored or -unchall just doing small mistake, this command is useful. This is same as exercise forum when -expend give player pending completion for 24 hours.

P.s : i hope this pending command can be changed to needs work when the daily challange was reset (instead of just wait 24 hours)

[pure field]

I have reasons to believe I can do this but it will take time.

And definitely not in a span of 24 hours

-# source: trust me bro

Insane: Using any method, find the parameter of an ellipse.

Easy: Create a 20+ seconds layout with the theme: 'stairs'

[pure field]

The random song is crazy, though

[hybrid matrix]

time to glungus adventure

[coarse grove]

i thought it was edited outside gd and sometime look harder

[rose pewter]

Perhaps this too

[fossil hedge]

I think he used some mod

[rapid matrix]

easy challenge:make a key, that can open a door (in platformer mode).

[zealous pelican]

Insane challenge
Create 20+ seconds of fast-paced timewarped focused gameplay emphasizing on player movements, note and song representation. The gameplay must use a song with a bpm above 160. Examples of this sort of gameplay can be found in vyth's creations.

[crimson tree]

I don't see how it's an insane challenge tbh

[dry bronze]

It's very easy even for an easy challenge lol

[zealous pelican]

Insane challenge: open the editor

[dry bronze]

In gd lite

[dry bronze]

You gave me motivation to learn making timestamps xd

[rapid matrix]

well if "make a weapon that can attack a enemy" or whatever it was called is a medium challenge, this is easy challenge

[hybrid matrix]

insane challenge: get a gf

[smoky inlet]

I think today hard challange a bit challanging

This is so inaccurate ( as the image shown with different value of id has same color)

[shy oar]

Trigger Challenge
Create a binary encoder to move an object a certain amount

[warm remnant]

that's why you get three days

[pure field]

I was dead (inactive) for 2 days

The math is mathing

[rapid matrix]

easy challenge:make a 20+ second layout only using 1 gamemode (the level should start with that gamemode)

[crimson tree]

already exists

[dry bronze]

I'm very curious how that works ngl

Like how it's exactly made

Many item comps?

[shy oar]

I saw a motley video and that pretty much explained it

It’s pretty interesting

[dry bronze]

I literally made the same flr and cei system to check numbers' primacy LOL

I randomly figured that out

[sullen roost]

I actually completed this one lol, just never submitted it again bc I couldn't find the vid

this was hell to verify btw

[rapid matrix]

easy-medium challenge:recreate a classic video game character using only pixel blocks (not the 2.2 ones)

[dry bronze]

Dead cells

[dry bronze]

(someone knows this game i know)

[fallow flax]

medium deco challenge
make some deco based on a historical art movement (insert link to art history timeline cuz im too lazy to look it up)

[sonic knoll]

Easy-medium challenge
Make a 30 second layout in which the main gimick is teleport orbs and toggle orbs

[rose pewter]

Insane challenge is so hard, it’d better if it’s only 45 secs

[earnest umbra]

Easy deco challenge
Make an autobuild template using only the colored blocks and its theme should be based of an image of your choice.
When it's done, send an image of the built autobuild template along with the image of inspiration within the challenge post

[shy oar]

Medium gameplay challenge:
create a 20+ second long layout that is possible in at least 4 gamemodes.

[rapid matrix]

i dont think its medium, its easy because you can just place 1 spike every like 6 tiles on the fllor, it will be possible in all gamemodes if you do that

[rose pewter]

It can be medium if we’re looking for higher quality gameplay

[sonic knoll]

Can this be nice

[untold socket]

Isn’t the point of an insane challenge to be hard as hell

[rose pewter]

it is

there is this one challenge

so hard

that it got nerfed

[untold socket]

What was it

[rose pewter]

and still be an insane challenge

[rose pewter]

it's the eigendecomposition challenge

[untold socket]

What is that name

Easy trigger challenge
Create a rainbow color loop

[dry bronze]

It's literally from a gameplay 1 exercise

[earnest umbra]

But longer and lasts the whole 30s

[sonic knoll]

Thats what im saying

[shy oar]

Bro I already did death moon 3rd wave deco yesterday 😭

[untold socket]

Would this be tuff

[earnest umbra]

That stuff is literally in using condition triggers which is in triggers 1

[untold socket]

Uh

Ouu shii

[rapid matrix]

medium challenge:make a 20+ second animation level (can be any theme)

[sonic knoll]

Medium challenge-
Make a custom gamemode that is fun to play

[urban cobalt]

Hard or insane challenge-
Make a mobile game like the video below https://youtube.com/shorts/pUxZBM2Mo4I?si=0SF_XG6AOHI2sPs3

[smoky inlet]

Lmao...

Its should be

[urban cobalt]

fire in the hole

[rapid matrix]

that is not even CLOSE to a hard.

[zealous pelican]

Is it just me or are these challenges harder than usual

Like just a bit

[rose pewter]

Creating tips 😭

[sonic knoll]

Medium challenge:-
Make a block design Using only 2 colors total
Try to make it still look interesting and not flat.

[earnest umbra]

Already exists and that's even today's medium challenge

[urban cobalt]

Yeah he means that it's harder than a usual medium challenge

[pure field]

Easy challenge: Make a 4x3 block design with 5 object count (hitbox included)

[shy oar]

Only 5 objects

[pure field]

Wanna make it 3?

[balmy python]

a bit late, but thats me

[late halo]

medium? challenge:
make a counter that displays a number (that can change) without using the counter label object (as the main visual, at least)
for reference, things like this would be like those custom attempt counts or digital segment displays

optional parameters you can add or swap as preferred:

• must use item id or must use another specified value (time, atts, pts, or otherwise)
• must be double digits/support numbers over a given value
• either can or cannot use others' custom fonts

[balmy python]

If you are going to say both can and cannot, whats the point of having it

[late halo]

thats fair
i was thinking that it could more just be an option highlighted as specifically one or the other. so they could say "you can" or "you can't"

[balmy python]

oh ok

[rapid matrix]

easy-medium challenge:recreate a 2.2 trigger using only 2.1 and below objects

[burnt horizon]

** Easy Challenge: **Make a 15+ seconds layout without hazards (spikes, saws)

[sonic knoll]

PEople could just make the ball copter

[rapid matrix]

so just 2.2 triggers is fine, ballcopter is easy to make anyways

[earnest umbra]

Medium-hard challenge- Create a trigger setup that tracks the player X and Y velocity

[rapid matrix]

medium-hard challenge:make a full sentence using only the sfx and edit sfx trigger (you dont need to use the edit sfx trigger, if you want then you can). The sfx needs to be from the same person, and you cant use just one sfx (especially ones that already are a sentence)

[sullen roost]

the ball copter is a 2.2 gamemode, not a 2.2 trigger. the easiest trigger to make would be the scale trigger

[sullen roost]

I think this might already be a challenge but don't quote me on this

[dry bronze]

Medium challenge: make checkpoints in classic mode

[dry bronze]

Sequence trigger?

[sonic knoll]

Easy - medium challenge
Make a clubstep monster based on acheron's first jump

[opal sun]

i swear if they asked for a 3x3 matrix then everyone is cooked 😭 😭

[rose pewter]

Only one submission so far

[rapid matrix]

"General suggestion: you have to proof that you can finish that challenge if you summit one" why would you put this as a general suggestion? if you could finish the challenge you submitted, it would be free points.. you know that?

[rose pewter]

Are you sure?

[spice stump]

Easy challenge
Make an nine circles effect

[crystal wave]

insane challenge
simulate game of life in gd on a 20x20 grid using no more then 50 groups and no more then 5 item IDs. it can run as slowly as neccesary, as long as the above requirements are met (don't make it too unwatchable though)

[spice stump]

you sure that's possible?

[rose pewter]

What is that hard challenge 😭

[silver pumice]

medium/hard challenge
make a 15+ sec layout that uses touch triggers to toggle on/off the gameplay like what manix did here
https://youtu.be/DOWqj3hc3w8?si=00YC_B4skLdb5hqP&t=33

either hold mode or not

top 10 ill challenge do you even know how to do that yourself????

i ask for whoever approved this to post their own submission lol, im 99% sure you need to directly write to the save file to make any 3d spinning object other than a cube

[sonic knoll]

Bro copyed

[silver pumice]

Wait rly

Dammit

[rose pewter]

There are some submissions of that. You should check them out

Also we should adjust (if anything, clarify) the requirements for today medium challenge

[silver pumice]

im mostly talking about the "any direction" part

and ive found only one

[rose pewter]

Well

It’s possible

I guess most graders forgot about that part

[silver pumice]

hello pomni

[rose pewter]

Who’s pomni

[silver pumice]

i made some time ago something similar with a cube (can rotate in any direction, sorts faces), making any other volume would be extremely tedious without some automation i dont see how its worth it

[silver pumice]

this

[rose pewter]

Impressive

One tip though

You don’t have to make a sphere

You just make something that looks like it

[silver pumice]

i guess i can just put a big circle with basic lighting and call it a sphere, but the band thing still needs to properly rotate in 3d

[rose pewter]

Hey, there is no limits to what you can use

Go wild

[silver pumice]

i actually got this idea from a different level, (it was also a cube, but it displayed wireframes instead of faces and rotated in only two axes), the level is a demon that starts with a 2 block tall wave corridor. the cube is used in the background in that part. i can't remember the name of the level, is there any place that can help me with finding it?

[rose pewter]

Do you recall the exact difficulty

Like is it an extreme or easy?

[silver pumice]

pretty sure it was insane/extreme (MAYBE hard) demon. i first saw the level in a youtube video, i remember the description saying the the level was not fun and i thnk it was the verification video

not even sure if its rated on the servers

[rose pewter]

Okay

Maybe ask this in #general-english . Someone might find out what it is

[silver pumice]

tnx

[half coral]

Impossible challenge: make a good extreme layout

[silver pumice]

Easy Challenge: make a "room" layout like the ones in press start on subzero

[sonic knoll]

Medium challenge
Make a 20 second+ room based platformer

[earnest umbra]

Easy challenge
Make a block deco that only uses opposite colors as its main 2 colors

[untold socket]

Isn’t that basically the black and white block challenge

[earnest umbra]

But any 2 colors that doesn't have to be black and white

[sonic knoll]

Medium challenge
Make a 10sec + layout inspired by the end is here (dual)
https://youtu.be/BkNKOsDQuME?si=a0BKe1n5BFwdjkiH

[earnest umbra]

That already exists

[sonic knoll]

Does it

Omg bro

[rapid matrix]

easy challenge:make 10+ seconds of a assymetrical dual

[smoky inlet]

Already exist

[rapid matrix]

easy challenge:draw a everyday life thing in geometry dash under 150 objects

[sonic knoll]

Exists

[rapid matrix]

easy challenge:recreate the logo from a geometry dash game (geometry dash, geometry dash lite, geometry dash meltdown, geometry dash world or geometry dash subzero)

[urban cobalt]

insane challenge: make a mythic worthy block design that shows contrast, and uses colors correctly

[warm remnant]

any block deesign will use contrast, and there isnt a "correct" way to use colors

[warm remnant]

exists (recreating logos)

[urban cobalt]

ig a mythic worthy block design then

[warm remnant]

how do you quantify that

[sonic knoll]

Hard challenge
Make a artistic bg

[urban cobalt]

if it has good structuring, good use of glow, looks neat to the eye, and generally doesn't look bad.

[rapid matrix]

easy challenge:make a block design using the 2.2 pixel blocks

[silver pumice]

Medium/hard challenge:
Make your own creator logo (or whatever it's called, the thing each creator in a megacollab puts in his part to say the part is his)

Like this

[warm remnant]

none of those are quantified, those are all subjective

[silver pumice]

Then how does ANY block design challenge submission gets properly judged??

[warm remnant]

things like this

[silver pumice]

Problem (I'm guilty of this too dw): if everything besides what is explicitly written is subjective, the quality between submissions varies ALOT. Obviously not gonna mention anyone but u get my point

I'm talking stuff straight from the recent tab that passes

Idk tho, haven't started the deco branch yet

U can't just say everything is subjective. Some amount of effort is needed to be put into these submissions

Atleast in hard and insane difficulty challenges imo

Basically why i despite modern art lol (not gd art, museum stuff)

[warm remnant]

How do you quantify that effort

that's what im saying

[silver pumice]

I don't know how, but there has to be a way to distinguish between some recent tab level and a damn culuc part in a collab

Or between a mythic level and a rated level

And so on

(and yes, the creator of the rated level may have spent more time/effort on it than the one who made the mythic level, but there's a limit to how far you can push an argument like this)

[silver pumice]

Again, i don't know of a good way to accurately sort submissions by their quality and have a lower bound for what can pass, but that doesn't mean you can just tell me they're all the same quality/it doesn't matter.

If i had the balls, I could make multiple comparisons of different submissions to the same challenge here.

[warm remnant]

but that doesn't mean you can just tell me they're all the same quality/it doesn't matter.

I never said that - do not put words in my mouth.

[silver pumice]

.

[warm remnant]

What I am saying is that judging something like "quality" is up to interpretation.

The problem with that is it's hard to make a challenge "hard" without clear, quantifiable limits and criteria.

That is why so many hard and insane challenges are trigger based, because those are very easy to quantify. Did you calculate the inverse of a 4x4 matrix, or did you not? There's no subjectivity or interpretation there: you either did it correctly or you did not.

[silver pumice]

Trigger challenges are a different story. I agree with you on that, I'm talking about deco (or even gameplay) challenges

[warm remnant]

I bring trigger challenges up as an example

I'm not gonna argue this btw

I said my piece

[silver pumice]

Literally, check the recent deco submissions and tell me you can't tell what was put more effort into

Please

[warm remnant]

How do you suggest we quantify effort then

I'm listening

[silver pumice]

.

That's not my point

[warm remnant]

Then youre just arguing without any solution lol

I'm well aware that there are quality variations between submissions for deco / gameplay challenges

[warm remnant]

That is exactly why I said this. If you just give a vague suggestion it enables that sort of variation

And until you or someone else gives a more robust way to quantify "quality" that will simply be the policy for vague challenge suggestions like that

[silver pumice]

Maybe when i get Deco 3 I'll come up with something 😅

And i think it's ok to give a critique without a solution as long as the critique is clear tbh. If i had a solution I'd say it, but i guess the human mind is too complicated to describe in words lol.

[rose pewter]

Does the detector have to work right upon clicking the practice mode button (which the death effect has to be disabled upon the first death in practice mode)

just to be clear

[silver pumice]

I don't think this is possible rn, the event trigger can only detect when the player respawns from a checkpoint

[rose pewter]

As of now yeah

I was looking for some weird traits in practice mode but have not found any yet

[silver pumice]

Probably some obscure insane bug can detect this or smth

[sonic knoll]

How did you do it?

I cant understand

[silver pumice]

I don't know of a bug like this, i just used an event trigger

[sonic knoll]

Ig bro
