Classic Games Contest

[artcoursecannon]

I, artcoursecannon, am starting a Powder Game contest! The objective is to recreate a classic game that is well known and would be fun to play on Powder Game! I am also going to enter, because I am not going to be a judge!

The following games that may be chosen are: Backgammon, Battleship, Checkers, Chess, Chinese Checkers, Don't Break the Ice, The Dot Game, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Jenga, Kerplunk, Mastermind, Mousetrap, Operation, Reversi, Shoots & Ladders, Tic-Tac-Toe, and Yahtzee. If you feel there is a game we have not yet chosen that YOU would like to make, feel free to reply in this thread! =)

The following rules apply to all entries (even me):
1: Only one entry per person
2: all entries after October 1st will be disqualified.
3: Plagiarism (of other uploads/ideas) leads to disqualification.
4: Games not on the list or approved by a judge will be disqualified
5: The game must still have the same rules and objective(s).
6: Any other rules the judges would like to add. I know different games may be harder to judge, but maybe you could find a way around it.

Scoring was directly copied from general veers reply
25% Functionality: The game should rarely, if ever, fail. Anything that happens should be intentional.
25% Complexity: The game should incorporate a diverse variety of interactions without deviating from the game.
25% Playability: The game in its entirety should be capable of play by the judges.
20% Comprehensibility: The game should be relatively easy to control in respect to its complexity. A chess game might take more understanding of its controls than a Tic-Tac-Toe game's controls, but anyone knowledgeable of the game in question should be able to play it with the provided controls.
5% Aesthetics: The game should demonstrate a dedication to its visual quality. It should not look like a bunch of scribbles by a newborn infant.

Prizes that will be awarded to the winners:
;DGrand Prize Winner: 600 DBs & 30 karma
::)2nd Place: 400 DBs & 20 karma
:D3rd Place: 300 DBs & 15 karma
:)4th place: 200 DBs & 10 karma
:-/Participation: 20 DBs & no karma

Judges Feel Free To Change Anything You Want To Change Here! Oh and thanx for replying so soon! I was really wondering if the scoring system was fair enough, and I was wondering if you could help me in adjusting at a little.

Ok, you just need to clean this up a bit.

5: The game must still have the same

This sentence is not finished.

Prizes that will be awarded to the winners:
;Grand Prize Winner: 600DBs & 30 karma
1st Place: 400DBs & 20 karma
2nd Place: 300DBs & 15 karma
3rd place: 200DBs & 10 karma
Participation: 50DBs & no karma

Is Grand prize better than 1st place, or are they the same?

(30% Creativity, 10%Appearance, 35% How fun it is to play, 15% Extra additions/features, 10% Other)

Please clarify the "Other" guideline.

2: all entries after 50 entries or after October 1st will be disqualified.

We have unlimited entries, just a deadline.

[General Veers]

I presume the games have to be playable on Powder Game, just like Callex did for Battleships and Tic-Tac-Toe? If so, then certain games should be given better scores than others, such as chess over Tic-Tac-Toe. In order to compensate for the possibility of a tic-tac-toe game scoring higher than a fully functional chess game, a category for complexity should be included with a minimum of 10%.

On account that different people have different ideas as to what game is more fun than others, I recommend the removal of the subjective "How Fun It Is to Play" category.

I suggest the following as one possibility:

25% Functionality: The game should rarely, if ever, fail. Anything that happens should be intentional.
25% Complexity: The game should incorporate a diverse variety of interactions without deviating from the game.
25% Playability: The game in its entirety should be capable of play by the judges.
20% Comprehensibility: The game should be relatively easy to control in respect to its complexity. A chess game might take more understanding of its controls than a Tic-Tac-Toe game's controls, but anyone knowledgeable of the game in question should be able to play it with the provided controls.
5% Aesthetics: The game should demonstrate a dedication to its visual quality. It should not look like a bunch of scribbles by a newborn infant.

I would have to worship the person who could upload a playable chess game in Powder Game, just as I once promised to worship whoever could upload a fully functional graphing calculator capable of differential and integral calculus.

As a matter of fact...I think I will offer 1,000,000 Dan-Balls to whoever can make a fully functional, aesthetically pleasing classic chess game in Powder Game, including controls for at least one human player...

Does Tower Defence count as a classic game? I created one of those...

I am sorry but tower defence games will not be accepted. There are so many different types of tower defence and so many was to make it unique. It would be hard to score evenly with the other games. Maybe you should start a tower defence competition (if you do, count me in! I've made my own tower defence as well).
