Is the help of a program allowed for the creation of mazes?

It's up to Ezlo to answer, but I can't see why not. Any maze purely created by a program would probably be pretty vanilla and boring to play through, and won't win. I'm guessing that only mazes that combine DROD elements into them have a chance of winning.

Ah, i think you should contact someone who speaks your language as well as english (elfstone?), as I (and i belive most other people) are confused about what your problem is as you are about your problem.

We have got a problem with Ezlo's idea, because in mine you get to the map eventually! (Yes, I can say that, and I can say that I discovered a new interesting technology that I will aply in the maze)
And it is going to be more time consuming as I thought, only the ending costed me the whole afternoon and I still have to correct it! Well, it is going to be worth at least.

Aw, I could have used my Mental Maze side level, but because of the 2.0.15 Rev7 hold list bug, I lost it. It took ages as well.

Just make an entry, I'll fit it in the compilation story somehow.

Now I know how, as last level of the compilation, that would fit, but I hate my new technology, it needs tons of scripting and it is boooooring. But well, all for a good hold!

I think I'll take part in this competition. Is it OK if I make a hold consisting of a couple of levels where each level is a separate maze?

Gack.

I need five different mazes for my hold for this to function properly. I've got three. And now I'm drawing a complete mental blank on what to do for the other two.

>_<

Well, think of all the types of mazes you can do, maybe you can use an idea from that.

1. Simple floor and wall maze.
2. Staircase maze.
3. Secret wall maze.
4. Tar/Mud covering secret wall/floor and wall maze.
5. Tunnel maze.
6. Bomb maze.
7. Trapdoor maze.

And then you can add all sorts of things to make it interesting.

1. Timers
2. Brained Roach Queens
3. Multiple Entrance rooms.
4. Clues on how to get to the exit in a hard-to-reach location.
5. A room in the north-west corner that you cannot reach to make everyone crazy. :devil
6. Monsters that you need a mimic to kill.
7. Snakes. Snakes are evil in one-tile wide passages!

Noooo, as I said, wait for the submission topic, and when it comes out, post it on the submission topic!

Question to Ezlo: talking of that, when will you create the submission topic?

I'd avoid using words like "noooo" when speaking to neather2, since I doubt his translation software will be able to handle them correctly.

7. I would also like to have people who will try the contest to say so, it won't be mandatory, but I want to know how many are going to play.
I will try to throw something together by next week.

I'm not sure about joining -- School starts tomorrow, and I've finished only three rooms out of 25 of my labyrinth (Though all 40+3 entrances have been configured, thankfully). I might be able to get it in in time for the compilation, maybe as a separate hold if it's that delayed.

It won't be too fun either...

I've got half of my thirty or so puzzles in the second level done. I've purposely been working on them more; they're more fun than just building a (rather boring) maze. (albeit with Indiana Jones-style traps)

I think I'm going to drop out of this. I don't have time to finish mine up and I'm no good at all at making puzzles anyways >_< I'll probably drop the rooms I've got done into the hold I'm working on in the background that's nowhere near Architecture board-ready yet.

They are excused, but I do not participate to the competition, a virus in my PC, has eliminated all mine hold and mazes in creation… fortunately I have saved drod, I can recreate the maze, but they would want 2 weeks to us, and then the virus it destroys it perhaps… sigh! :closedeyes :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep
