Roflcopter vs f0rsAk3n vs calex3

[f0rsAk3n]

heh, i see, thanks. I'll remember that in the future

 

[calex3]

so when do you paladon start with judging?

 

[Deuterium]

Well I checked the spell...
calex3 has the spell with the most creative idea, yet has tons of double freeing and removing null location...
Rofl comes after with a laggy spell and also tons of double freeing
forsaken, the only one with not double freeing, doesn't have much of a good idea...

 

[calex3]

I like forsaken's spell....
What is double freeing?

 

[Deuterium]

double freeing is basically when you RemoveLocation without even creating one... that applies to everything else too: Groups, Forces, etc...

 

[Judgement_Dragon]

Hy there i am new to Hive and i want to chellange with someone too...how can i do it?

 

[Rmx]

double freeing is basically when you RemoveLocation without even creating one... that applies to everything else too: Groups, Forces, etc...

Don't tell them, look at my reviews, i didn't tell them now, they are challenging and you should not have told them their mistake , if you told them it will be up to creativity and all get 10/10 on coding

 

[Judgement_Dragon]

Is calex3 going to be judged when he is banned?

 

[Hemske]

Just curios, what happens with calex now that he is banned for some time? He wont be disqualified or anything? He's still in the chellenge?

 

[Deuterium]

off-topic:
Hah he's banned? How come?

 

[Hemske]

Well, he said something about he had maked fun of general frank in the chat and got one infraction point, and he already had one before, so he got banned from chat and from hive for 15 days

 

[Deuterium]

Oh I see... well it's sort of his fault..

 

[Hemske]

I dont know what he said or done but yea i guess.

 

[f0rsAk3n]

haha aww man that sux. I guess the lesson to be learned here is... don't f*** with general frank!.

 

[Palaslayer]

wow, i just came back home and i saw this. awesome. currently reading the thread.

edit. nice. but cant check the entries now.

 

[Paladon]

This challenge is judged by Paladon.
The judging is based on the fact of judging a GUI challenge.
The efficiency related judging aspect is based on a scale for GUI coded comparisons.
This judging doesn't take further Jass compared efficiency except the necessary "leak" cleaning into account (for the reason stated above).

Judged are the aspects Coding, General Appearance, Creativity and Theme.

• Coding (10) includes efficiency, structure and consistence.
• General Appearance (10) includes optical and visual effects, tooltip, user-friendly appearance and the effect of the spell.
• Creativity (5) judges the originality brought into the spell as well as the uniqueness.
• Theme(5) compares the General Appearance with the given challenge theme.

Coding: 5/10
The CJ_Off variable is quite useless, check whether the CJ_Caster variable is known instead. This way, you save one indexed variable per cast.

"Set CJ_Angle2[CJ] = (CJ_Angle2[CJ] + 72.00)" is quite a problem since 72.00 is a static real.
It is based on the given CJ_Angle2 number of 5, which is defined in the settings. But it should be based on the variable itself, otherwise it affects the symmetry of the effect if we choose another angle value.

"Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Pandaren Brewmaster - 'Breath of Fire' (CJ_Point[4] offset by 250.00 towards CJ_Angle2[CJ] degrees)"
and
"Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - 'Shockwave' (CJ_Point[4] offset by 250.00 towards CJ_Angle3[CJ] degrees)"
both leak locations.
That gives 10 location leaks per cast using your default settings.

General Appearance: 5/10
The visual effects choosen are partially messy, especially the terrain deformation is neither smooth nor matching the other effects. The jump is okay.

Creativity: 3/5
Jumps and "novas" are both, in combination as well, nothing new, still a bit surprising.

Theme: 2/5
Would match an air/earth theme but not really a fire one.

Total: 15/30

Coding: 7/10
Please delete your unused triggers next time, we usually do need "wips" of spells. I won't count it in this time, it just gives a chaotic appearance.

You don't really need the FW_DummyClean trigger.

The recycling system can be even more effective, still, you're using one which is generally good.

Overall, it appears partially a bit messy due to the fact that you combined two systems in one trigger which is generally good, but still creates an overflow if used with such kind of recycler.

The integer index overflow is also avoidable, but more like a taste thing.
Another taste-like thing, i'm pretty sure that it is impossible to attach two effects to a single attachment point of a unit once. Use chest and overhead or origin instead.

Generally the triggering is okay, still having these flaws.

General Appearance: 5/10
The optical appearance is quite a chaos to name a fact.
The spell's intro is a very nice usage of the fireballs.
But suddenly it turns into an overeffected mess (->lag).

The tooltip misses information about detailed spell effects. It simply describes the visible effect, there'sno note about damage etc.

The five fireballs are a good idea, still, their speed should be the constant, not the time used to reach the target.

Creativity: 4/5
Quite creative, still nothing shocking new.

Theme: 5/5
Fireballs are..okay. But i'm missing fire related (non visible) effects (ignition etc).
But since those are not particulary needed, i still rate 5.

Total: 21/30

Coding: 8/10
"Set FS_T_Point[FS_Index[2]] = (Target point of ability being cast)"
The index here is useless since you destroy the location instantly again.
The same applies for all your location variables.
In general, the location variable should not have been indexed.

Next to that, there's nothing greater complain next to a possible forumla usage of the effect movement.


General Appearance: 8/10
The general effect was not overused and presented a very nice optical appearance.
Still, the fire effect of the knockback was overused (50 effects per second per unit).

Creativity: 5/5
Quite creative.

Theme: 5/5
Quite fiery. But i'm missing fire related (non visible) effects (ignition etc).
But since those are not particulary needed, i still rate 5.

Total: 26/30

Congratulations.

 

[Palaslayer]

funny. just funny.

 

[Hemske]

"By calex3 from msn: Now i wish i never told that that i told to General Frank.....now i will need to wait for 15 days for my reward... And thanks to all, specially to Fagge for his comments!"

 

[Joss]

You give yourself way too much credit, Fagge, lol

 

[Palaslayer]

[Hemske]

What the, i can take screenshot on msn when he said it. I am only forwarding what he told me to say... Cant believe i am helping out a friend and gets flamed on for it.
----------------------------------------
Edit:Screenshot 1 is a screenie of when he said to me. Screenshot 2 is proof of that Skeleton account is his, he wanted me to say that too.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Good luck to you all...

 

[Palaslayer]

ok, fagge, stop complaining, it still sucks.
miss_foxy, this challenge is over already.

[Hemske]

Whatever.

 

[Gilles]
