I got bored a few nights ago on indev, so I started messing around, by setting a few parameters for myself while playing indev, and found out, it's a LOT harder to play like this. I thought I'd share a few challenges I gave myself, and maybe you guys could also submit a few. I'll try turning this into a little game, where people can try to do these.
NOTE:You must provide proof of you completing a challenge, which usually means a video. Simply PM me with a link to your video, and I'll add your name to the completed list.
Don't know how to record?
Simply install a program such as Fraps, or Hypercam2, and record your footage. Recording ofc, will slow down the game just a bit, but still. :tongue.gif:

Ressurection of pixel armies! Visit us at #pixelarmies on Esper, for more information.
Here's how it's all gonna go down. Like the original, you build armies and fight each other. Each week or 2, we'll swap maps, and a new game-mode (we actually thought stuff out) will be played. To play, you have to reserve a spot, by making a post that contains "DECLARE".
Current Game-Mode: CAPTURE THE RELIC
How To Play: Capture the relics, and keep them for as long as possible. The longer you have the relic, the more points you get. Every 3 turns, the relic spawns you a new unit.
-=RULES=-
1.No explicit/inappropriate pictures.
2.No overpowering on maps. "HEY LOOK, I SPAWN 9000 NUKES ABOVE YOU."
3.Only post maps after you declared, and everyone before you is finished.
4.Never post your maps in .jpg format. PNG ONLY!
5.Please use imgur. The link is here.
6.Only 5 DIFFERENT people can declare at once.
7.No Internet Explorer (IE). It messes up the colours.
After a recent IRC conversation, Notch mentioned about seasons, so I just chopped off everything else that was said, and only put down Notch's lines.
Here is everything he said.
<Notch> slowriot: I don't know, it's not a huge priority at the moment. I want animal keeping, though
<Notch> some kind of breeding would be very interesting
<Notch> also, don't tell anyone, but I decided to add seasons
<Notch> the game will start in the summer
<Notch> days will be long
<Notch> during the winter, snow will fall, and days will be SHORT
<Notch> I'm considering making a year be 80 game days
<Notch> Malizz: I like underground farming! It's very silly, but very fun
<Notch> those are pretty big projects, and I don't see anything fun-breaking about them

I don't think flatgrass and deep is very menacing together. :/

There's the occasional tree still. HA.
@Repulsion, do you mean 5^3? We could make it so you have to build that, then deflood the all within 1 breath.

1. Windows Movie Maker is crappy, but it can do the job fine.
2. Iron ORE, or an iron BLOCK?
3. YOU GAVE IT AWAY.

Hey man. I'm one for the community. Informing people of a great idea = Bad?
I'm not sure what I'm doing then.
