Air rune crafter
Deadline: TBD


Welcome to the Junior Member Competition! All JM are welcome to join, and we will be judging this competition.

Location
For those of you that dont know the air alter has changed locations.

It is now located here


The rules are simple:

Rules
  • You must work on your own
  • However much you have completed must be handed in by the time limit. Even if you don't complete the script fully, you still have a chance of winning
  • You must use the SRL include
  • Reflection may be used but only as a last hope failsafe which means that your color walking must be stable and reflection is used by the rare occasion when it fails
  • You must make all of your own custom functions. You cannot take them from any other script even if you have permission. This means that the only procedures / functions you may use are the ones already in the SRL include, or ones that you make yourself
  • Once you have submitted a script, you cannot submit another one / edit your current one, so make sure you check it over thoroughly before submitting your entry
We may add / change the rules at any time, and we will warn you when we do. They won't be big changes though.

Extra Rules!
We have to make this competition fun now don't we? So i decided to add a few extra rules to give some flavor to our scripts! I have wrote a list of various features that have to be included in your scripts! (Note alot of this is needed for SRL members anyways)
  • Have tiara and talisman support
  • Multiplayer
  • AntiRandoms
  • AntiBan
  • Progress Report
You will get 100 points for meeting all the requirements. 0 If you fail to meet even just one of them.

Script will be judged on:
  • Technique
  • Individuality
  • Follow all SRL rules: i.e break out of potential infinite loops etc.
  • Creativity
  • Content
  • Efficiency
  • Presentation
  • Meeting all Requirements (check: Extra Rules!)
  • Added Extras
Prize
The prize will be SRL Members and the Competition Cup. Along with that also comes Respect and Reputation among the community.

Submitting your entry
Once you have finished your script, PM it to RM or ZephyrsFury so that others won't see your finished product until the end of the competition, and they can't steal your ideas that you worked so hard on! All scripts will then be posted up after the competition has ended, so that everyone may learn and gain new idea for walking and such.

Why should I enter?
Hopefully this will get you slightly motivated to create the best script you can, regardless of your ability. The more scripts you create the better you become: "Practice makes perfect". On top of that, when everyone has released their own versions of the script, you can compare yours to theirs and see what techniques they have used in their script: what works and what you can improve on. This will really help you improve your scripting skills.

In addition to comparing and contrasting with other scripts, we will also be commenting on each individual script, giving you tips on how it can be improved!

Note
If the you were a Junior Member at the start of the competition and then got accepted into members you are still entitled to win the Competition Cup and to have your script judged.


Thank You SRL

Looks good.

A few pointers:
  • This is not the first JM competition ;)
  • 'I' will not be judging this competition. A group of selected judges will be.
  • This competition does not need Wizzup?'s approval ;) At the time I wrote that thread I was still SSRL and SSRL was still secret, so I did not have the authority to hold an 'official' competition.
  • Reflection may be used as a failsafe, but the color functions must be stable enough to work on their own.
  • 'I' may not change the rules. The judges however, might.
  • This needs some colorful formatting

Also, it'd be nice to see a bit of a personal touch from you, rather than just seeing my own writting copy / pasted :p

In the last JM comp, I think they were sent to RM, and he made a thread in the judging forums for each script. He also made sure that the author's name wasn't anywhere in the script.

Awh wait up, when was this decided :'(.
Can't we at least make it a script that we don't have yet, so everyone will have something new to use?
RCRb does this :/.

(Nothing wrong with doubles of script, and just because a different version of a script is out doesn't mean you shouldn't make it, but it would be nicer to have something different, also, people could just look though RCRb and take ideas :p)

doesnt RCer Rb craft it in abyss tho? And I haven't seen an awful lot of RCers lately. It'll be good to develop that part of the SRL include.

I could do that

I'm sure anyone could. That's just how it worked last time. It's better that way so the judges don't know who their judging.

I'll be happy enough to accept the scripts. So will Zeph most likely.

Added lists into that post. And it worked better last time when RM accepted the scripts and set up the Judging posts.
