I'm thinking about putting up a server that has insane settings that change after every match. I'm looking for people that want to put thier creations into this server.
1. The settings and/or maps must be insanly hard, but not so hard it's unplayable.
2. I will review everything submitted and modify it accorsingly as needed.
3. The scoring will be mostly survival based and can be changed with your settings.
What do you think the server name should be?
Possible maps and settings options:
--Normal grid with a kagillion obsticals.
--Extremely tiny grid with maybe WALL_LENGTH set to 10 and speed set high. (a variation of the idea)
--Every turn you make has the consequence of doubling your speed
--Anything that you can think of that would be hard to survive, let alone core dump someone.
SD
P.S. Everyone will get public credit for thier work on the server.

exponentially growing speed 
The -.1 is the tunable bit.
Code: Select all
CYCLE_SPEED 0
CYCLE_SPEED_DECAY_ABOVE -.1
CYCLE_TURN_SPEED_FACTOR 1
CYCLE_BRAKE 0-

It'd also be easy to just press another key. Or are your brains that hardwired? 
If you remove some of the restrictions you risk more normal acceleration, or division by zero.
Code: Select all
CYCLE_ACCEL = preferably something +-large
CYCLE_ACCEL_OFFSET < 0
0 < CYCLE_WALL_NEAR < -CYCLE_ACCEL_OFFSET-

ok, tested your settings z-man. It's cool, but it get boring quick. 
Anyways, and interesting thing happens with those settings. I cannot have any more rubber than -.5 or no one will die at the high speeds (they easily will at the lower). I tweaked the CYCLE_RUBBER and got it to -.8 and it was perfectly satisfatory there. The bigger the arena - the better.
And I set the -.1 to -.2 to speed things up a bit on big arena's. Also, bots don't have a clue how to react to -.8 rubber. They just die right into the first wall in front of them.
Cool settings overall, I like em.
