Challenging Competition~
 
Welcome to:

Justin_ator's Diagonal Scroll Competition!

Quick background info:
I know of about three people that actually play diagonal scroll, and thought it might be interesting to hold a competition of sorts like this to just get people to test it out and give it a shot. I find it quite fun and a new challenge, and it's something that is kinda cool to show off too.


The gist of the competition:
Everyone will start in the same place with the same songs, and will progress forward each 'round'. The songs start VERY easy, so you don't have to worry about not being able to do well at diagonal scroll. You'll have a few rounds of easy things first. The users with the highest raw scores total will be the ones that win the competition! I'd say everyone has a pretty fair chance at winning this, due to so few people actually playing on diagonal scroll.


Smaller details:

Start Date - Sunday, 4/15/2012 whenever I can get on to start it.
Rounds - 2 days exactly for each round, most likely 6 or 7 rounds depending.
Song Difficulties - 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, (9/10 depending)
Screen shots [REQUIRED] -
SS's MUST be in this format:

this is because the 'undefined' verifies that the score was gotten using diagonal scroll. replays may be included but are relatively pointless due to the fact that they just replay the score on upscroll.

blah blah blah - I reserve the right to disqualify people, ignore scores, and request videos; don't be a jerk, etc


SPREADSHEET

How to set up diagonal scroll [IMPORTANT]:
There are a few things you have to know. First off, the only engine that runs diagonal scroll is the legacy engine (direct swf link). I realize this ruins the chance to use noteskins, and other features that might be in velocity's engines, but it can't be helped since he hasn't added diagonal scroll back in (and probably won't since there are only 3 people currently that play it). I apologize for that, but it can't be helped. Also, I'm not 100% sure on this, but you might HAVE to use a standalone flash player to run diagonal scroll. I'm not sure that browsers support it properly (I know my Chrome doesn't, but idk about the rest).

Those two things being said, there are a few things you have to know (use the image to help you find things or set them correctly if needed).



1. You have to select diagonal scroll on the main screen.

2. You are limited on speedmods. This is not my rule, it is the game's mechanics that limit it. From 0.01 to 0.99 you can use two decimals, but once you hit 1.0 you can only have one decimal. After 1.0, you can only go up to 1.2 before it stops working. Keep that in mind when selecting your speedmod.

3. You have to re-map your keys. I'll explain in what way here:

Code:

Left          -->        Up
Down        -->        Left
Up          -->        Down
Right          -->        Right

So something like ASDF becomes DASF, etc.



Prizes!:

Greedy bastards

You don't deserve anything

At least I don't think so

Okay fine maybe you can have something for coming in the top few...

How about... 1 credit each?

jk prize pot is starting at about 80k, courtesy of your host.

SPON CON

To start things off, for the next few days I want to get people to test it, get it working, maybe spark some interest. I'm giving 3k credits to anyone who AAA's Power before the start of the competition! Starting off simple :]

Quick Disclaimer:
If there are still issues with running this, I can't solve everything...it was somewhat buggy from the start (hence the limitations) and from there it only got worse with code changes and updates over time. If you can't get it to work in browser, first thing to try is the standalone. After that you may just have to toy with it. I think four days is pretty good though for getting time to get it working.

First time ever playing diagonal scroll, haha

Re: Challenging Competition~
 
Easy songs are pretty easy if you can adapt quickly, but trying to play harder songs gets really challenging fast. Patterns are a lot harder to distinguish on diagonal scroll. Based on the performance for the first few rounds, the difficulties are subject to change as necessary to kind of cater to the majority. Some of you might get a tad bit bored, some might struggle, but it's all fun for the sake of worthless internet monies :3

also, sent the 3k

Updated. I'll make a spreadsheet closer to the start of the competition, when there are more people to add. Not having divisions makes it easy to do a spreadsheet haha

Although I've been considering doing two divisions, since I know there will be a learning curve that some struggle with and others just fly through.

who_cares973 04-11-2012 10:59 AM

Re: Challenging Competition~
 
No divisions or else people will give you shit on placement

Dossar here,

Diagonal scroll is only available on legacy and I tried using 1.0 speedmod and remapping my keys. Even with remapping, all I'm getting are boos (I actually quadmashed to see if it was working at all, and zero arrows were hit, they were all boos and misses).

justin_ator 04-11-2012 11:08 AM

Re: Challenging Competition~
 
popsicle was having the same issue, and 0.9 ended up working for him. Go ahead and try some more speedmods for a bit and make sure all your settings are normal and offset is 0.

talking w/ justin, i tried 0.9, and it worked for me. i was having the same problem as you.
edit: lol ninja'd

Re: Challenging Competition~
 
Also, if you aren't on standalone that might be the issue. I've never been able to play it in browser ever. Might not be everyone's issue, but it could be for you.

0.9x worked

No, I just wanted to know why diagonal configuration wasn't working for me -- but thanks for the help!

Also in. Really close to getting your SDG a tricky song PST, so I'm interested to see how I do.

A little backstory: I went ahead and AAAed Power on diag scroll, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to join. I jammed my wrist and playing FFR (even Power) HURTS, so I don't know if my wrist will be able to handle the higher ranked files that will eventually come. I guess I could try playing left-handed and on diag, but I would probably suck. I'll let you know offically if I'm joining or not later this week. Now, on with the poorly cropped picture (if I join, you'll see a lot more of these.)

Can't play anymore, real life issues. Just take me out :)

I looked at your avatar after reading this

That avatar is seriously amazing

Holy crap, I just noticed the high scores say Diagon Alley. How long has that been there?

justin_ator 04-12-2012 10:44 AM

Re: Challenging Competition~
 
Updated to here, go recruit people! :3

And lmfao i dunno Jake, never really noticed it.

EDIT: If we can get more people to join, this might become a two division thing so that people stand a little more of a chance at winning something. But 15 participants is hardly enough for two divisions.

Re: Challenging Competition~
 
why not? i'll give this a go.



and i just tried a level 5 song and got 100 misses. the steps are so hard to read :O

thesunfan 04-13-2012 07:41 PM

Re: Challenging Competition~
 
i said that i was gona let you know if i could do this or not and i can't anymore. it is an interesting idea though

Someone should lock this thread.

justin_ator 05-3-2012 12:13 PM

Re: Challenging Competition~
 
Or I should start it this Sunday instead. I meant to start it that Sunday, but then after forgetting about it for a bit I remembered and decided to wait and see if I got anything from hi19's tournament. Didn't get much, so the pot isn't going to change much for prizes. I'll send out a reminder PM with info come Saturday so people can be reminded, and we'll kick this off on Sunday.

Re: Challenging Competition~
 
??? indeed




I don't have a clue what happened, good thing nobody donated. I'll get this more organized, as I have another idea that has to do with it etc, and then I'll come back to bump this again with a new start date. I just wasn't really ready for the other start date, and I want to be sure of a few more things before we give this a go. Sorry guys.

Lol, well if you do get around to starting it I'd love to participate in your tourny.

justin_ator 05-12-2012 09:54 PM

Re: Challenging Competition~
 
I will. I just need to get a few more things done before I can focus on running it properly.

Nope, that wouldn't be fair in the meantime if other people want to make tournaments. Can only have 10 open at a time. PM me when you want this unlocked, OR just make a new thread when you get yourself organised.
