In Response To: Totally forgot to feedback (ZackDark)


: I am completely dumbstruck.

: The Mongoose trick for indicating the usual numbers was brilliant.

: How difficult is it to make a map like that, once one knows the secret?
: And how many spaces (SPAAAAACE! btw, you might want to say "tile"
: from now on to avoid this reaction of mine...) can there be, tops?

Very. The whole map is a functioning illusion--there can be more than 49 mongeese on a map, but there can only be 12 that aren't grey. That is because only mongeese, scorpions, and banshees let you assign an object color. But mongeese will not respawn properly if the vehicle set is mongeese, meaning you're left with just scorpions and banshees.

So basically, I had to create a layout that had no more than 12 uniquely-colored spaces, using grey to fill in the rest. That was the hardest part.

I originally tried the Halo Ball gametype but no matter what I did with it, there would have been a 1 minute time limit because of how objects respawn with that gametype.
