Rulebook Thread (Sticky?)

[darkeagle]

Just thought I would post all the rulesets here.
If weasel could sticky this, that would be good so everyone can have the rulesets at hand when they are making a competition.

Haphazard:

Haphazard Competition Scoring
Scoring will be like golf, where the lowest score wins, and is outlined below.

Not completing a level: +90

Each rod or stick: +1
Unpowered wheels: +2
Powered wheels: +4

Achievements:
A green solution: -10 or 1/2 your score, whatever decreases your score the most (use no powered wheels)
A boomerang solution: -7 (bring all goal pieces back to the build area, where they stay)
A champion solution: -5 (keep all goal pieces in the goal)
A brown solution: -4 (only rods/sticks used)
A lightning solution: -4 (beat the level in less than the recommended number of ticks)
A clean solution: -3 (clear all remains of your machine from the stage)

Note: no glitchy solutions allowed.

To score, count up all material costs, and then apply the achievement bonuses in order.
To help you score, feel free to use the Hap Calculator

Dr. Phil:

How the game works

-Each person starts out with 100 total points
-Each rod used is -1 point
-Each Unpowered wheel is -1 point
-Each powered wheel used is -2 points
-Not completing a level is -33 points
The Only way to achieve a positive score is to earn badges.
Team solves will be accepted and put in a different category than singles.

How to earn points(badges)

A green solution: +3 points(use no powered wheels)
A brown solution: +3 points (only rods/sticks used)
A boomerang solution: +3 points (bring all goal pieces back to the start area)
A champion solution: +2 points (keep the ball in the goal)
A lightning solution: +2 points (beat the level in less than the recommended number of ticks)
A clean solution: +2 points (clear all remains of your machine from the stage)

Points and Extra Credit
The maximum total score you can possibly earn is a 100/100. You can exceed 100 points by earning extra credit. You can earn 2 extra credit points by earning a like badge in all three levels.
For example, if you got a 100/100 but you got a brown and clean badge for all three levels, then your total score is then 106/100.

Extra Credit values

on all 3 levels: 3 points
on all 3 levels: 2 points
on all 3 levels: 2 points
on all 3 levels: 3 points
on all 3 levels: 3 points
on all 3 levels: 2 points
Protip: Just like on a normal test, if you are wise enough, you will know where you can afford to lose points that will be made up by earning the extra credit.

How to score individual assignments
This might be a bit confusing, but hang in there, here is how to score an assignment

- Start out by adding up the negative points for rods and wheels
- Make a note of that total
- Add up the amount of positive points for badge completions
- Add the 2 numbers together (this is your score for the assignment
- A score will look like -12, -5, or +1: These are how many points you add or subtract from your starting total (100)

Grading Scale

100-90 A
89-80 B
79-70 C
69- 60 D
59-below F

New NOMB:

NOMB Scoring- New scores!

Completing the level: +10
No badges: +5
Glitching: you won't be scored
Not completing the level : you won't be scored
Being a green design: +10
Being a brown design: +15
Being blue design: +20
Being a champion: +15
Boomeranging: +20
Wiping clean: +15
Sweeping clean: +20
Hands-0ff: +10
Rod-less: +25
Under the recommended amount of ticks: +15
3 pieces: +10
1 piece: +15
After 10 pieces each one is: -5
If pieces are too much to be counted: i will not score
After 3 wheels each one is: -5
Each piece: -1
Each wheel: -2


COMBO
Any combo: +5 for each combination + whatever the score would add up to. I.E.- Your design is green and clean. You get 10 points for being green and 15 points for being clean + 5 bonus points. your score adds up to 30. P.S., theres no combo for completing the level .

Green/brown-
if you go by their literal definitions, they can't be both at the same time. It either has moving or unpowered wheels or just sticks. Thats it. No combos.

3-2-1 pieces:
If you have a one piece design theres no points or combo that includes the three piece score. If your design is two pieces it scores as a three piece.

Afronanny:

One = -1
One = -2
One = -2
One / = -4

= +6
= +4
= +4
= +6
= +3
= +4
= +2
= Each cleaned= +2 Each cleaned= +1
= +3
= +2
= You can play!

The formula is (materials+badges-ticks)/2
Highest score wins.

[darkeagle]

[WhyT]

Dark Eagle I think you messed up on your descriptions of Green and Brown. Or maybe you intended it to be that way? Just thought I would point out that it doesn't look right to me.

that's okay, there's no difference from the old one.

[OfficiallyHaphazard]

that's okay, there's no difference from the old one.

But it looks prettier and has a fixed description for boomerang. I just figured if people were copying straight from this thread, better have a good one.

[darkeagle]

updated with the new hap version.

No offence, but darkeagle, your one needs refining. someoff your bonuses (which are achievem,ments) are positive scores, while others are negative.
