eh, what kind of notification? Do you want to give us your phone number so we can call you when deadline is near?

I think that you should be able to remember the deadline yourself. You are a good player and designer and everything.

What does that have to do with your short-term memory anyway? 8)

hehe it was ramone originally who made the results... but you sent in so why not to put you in results?

The formula, or the function which gave the points, can be found from the banana cup site (check the news).

Code: Select all

String calculateRecPoints(String filename) {
	ifstream stream(filename.c_str(), ios::binary);
	if ( !stream ) return "0";
	char* buffer = new char[32];
	double points = 10;
	unsigned int x = 0;
	while (stream) {
		stream.read(buffer, 30);
		if (!stream) {
			break;
		}
		x = (unsigned int)*buffer;
		if (x < 100 && x > 90) {
			points *= ((double)x / (double)98);
		}
	}
	int finalpoints = (int)(points * points);
	if (finalpoints > 150) {
		finalpoints = 150;
	}
	return IntToStr(finalpoints);
}

explaining this in real words would be nice cuz i dont understand anything

If you don't understand anything, it wouldn't make sense to even try to explain it to you.

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 17 Mar 2009, 22:16

what i mean is that something like:
make a pair number of brake gives 5 pts
the most ammount of volt gives the most points
catch apple with head gives 5 pts
all stuff like that

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 18 Mar 2009, 00:57

looks like a big random mathematic formula in my opinion.

am i wrong zebra? is there any logic to this?

zebra · Post by **zebra** » 18 Mar 2009, 07:20

as i said, the formula is a bit random in a sense that it just reads some bytes from rec file. But of course it gives the same amount of points to a given rec in each time the program is run, so there isn't that kind of randomness

what the program does is that it reads 30 bytes, takes the first 4 of them, if the integer made of those bytes is between 91 and 97, it reduces points and if it's 99, it adds some points. Then it continues with the next 30 bytes. In the end the maximum number of points is limited to 150.

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 18 Mar 2009, 23:33

so, is it possible to make a 150 pts replay voluntarily? if so, i wanna see

Well, unless you can compute in your head the encryption of a replay file as you drive in a level, no you can't drive that replay voluntarily.

(zebra, tell me if i'm wrong, which i don't believe i am)

Well, staying in one place seems to give you the maximum points but if you have to finish the lev, i would say the maximum points are very hard if not impossible to get. I haven't made any research and don't know the rec format byte by byte so hard to say.

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 26 Mar 2009, 15:11

Too bad i couldn't participate in balle event and too bad there were that many players, places me back one position. Damn. I guess i'll just have to win every upcoming event!

Anyway, haven't seen yet the new level but the rules are nice. Can't wait to play this one.

And yeah, i don't know if it has been said before but, THIS CUP IS AWESOME!
good job zebra!

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 26 Mar 2009, 18:42

One question: Just to be sure there is no misunderstanding, i can do a trick more than once and get points for every occurence of the trick right? (meaning if i do 6 brutal volts, i should get 6 * 3 points)

yep, but you have to do all those brutals in different place. I mean that you can only one brutal in one platform.

and thanks for support

I hope ppl will keep on playing this. There are many players who have played only 1 or 2 events. I hope they will come back too

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 26 Mar 2009, 19:01

ez do zweq spin and gain 1 point per spin

FinMan · Post by **FinMan** » 26 Mar 2009, 20:12

Xiphias: i was just wondering same, if i would get points from it, but shame that it could get ONLY 5 points, eventho it is the coolest trick in the wowrld.

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 26 Mar 2009, 23:12

cant watch finman's rec, i get internal error. weird

zebra · Post by **zebra** » 2 Apr 2009, 20:07

Now there is a little bit more normal event going. Maybe some hÃ¶ylÃ¤ will strike back now? Astral seems to be bit too far now but everything is possible... There is a first finish event coming too right after easter.

It started 5 minutes ago! Finish as quick as you can (if you can finish it, it's max hard) and send rec. Your time will be counted from the time when the mail arrives to our mail box.

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 14 Apr 2009, 19:03

i think you gonna have less players on this event xD
does a non fnished replay count?

Yes, it will be counted. Just read the rules. The rules are like in ordinary first finish battle in belma.

Someone asked for an image of the level so here it is:

I spared this level for banana cup. Some people were asking (joking) if i could make this kind of remix of the level last year.

I was actually one of them :D And I wasn't joking either.

Gosh, how hard can it be to climb up that level? AAARRRGHGHGH, gotta find style.

Yeh. I'm too lazy.

Bismuth · Post by **Bismuth** » 23 Apr 2009, 03:03

I hate it 'cause I stopped playing elma after like 3-4 events. I'm so nab.

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 28 Apr 2009, 04:58

Ridiculously good level!

Won't have time to play tomorrow, nor wednesday, nor thursday, neither friday so i guess i will send now.

Made a 1 hour and a half power hoyling session so hopefully won't finish last.

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 12 May 2009, 03:38

Don't think i can do much faster than what i've made so far.

Sent in.

zebra · Post by **zebra** » 1 Jun 2009, 20:09

Last event going! Now it's the last chance to start playing because there are big prizes from this last event.

quite difficult level

i got it only from the level name

not all apples are available for me still

dorTrus · Post by **dorTrus** » 4 Jun 2009, 09:45

I know. I had already asked.

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 4 Jun 2009, 16:45

Maybe i am saying this too early but i don't think i will finish this level.

Even by making practice levels i can't pick up all the damn apples... hardcore middle part!

zebra · Post by **zebra** » 5 Jun 2009, 06:41

Once you know the right styles the level is actually pretty easy to finish. It needs a lot of practise though.

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 5 Jun 2009, 21:23

well, let's just say that i've just proven to myself that i was wrong.

gimp · Post by **gimp** » 6 Jun 2009, 22:28

already finished it myself, had to do a lot of practice however in editor.

Pab · Post by **Pab** » 7 Jun 2009, 03:34

Can you show the level of event number 4 no? nO?

thanks

zebra · Post by **zebra** » 22 Jun 2009, 07:18

I'm just reminding you that the deadline of the last event is tonight.

zebra · Post by **zebra** » 22 Jun 2009, 21:01

BananaCup 4 was won by BoneLESS [HHIT], congratulations! Details here.

zebra · Post by **zebra** » 22 Jun 2009, 21:04

I would love to here now what was good and what was bad in this cup. Which was the best event?
We'll listen to your suggestions now and if there's gonna be another banana cup some day, we'll do the exact opposite.
