I've included in the latest update for Tomb Explorer a competition version for the map Firewall (included in the Competition folder). Your scores for this map will now be displayed on the standings listing. I'm going to conclude this contest on Sunday night, not Monday like before. So we'll check back Sunday to see who has the best score, and the winner will get a shiny medal.

Firewall is a little easier than Sanctum in my opinion, so hopefully we'll get a little more participation from people who weren't able to finish the last map.

Download the latest version of Tomb Explorer.

Notes about scoring:
  • Your base score is determined by how much treasure you collect.
  • Your score is adjusted by how quickly you finish the level.
  • You get bonus points based on how quickly you grab the final treasure after you see it.
  • You get a 10% bonus if you find ALL the treasure.
Note: Make sure you're logged into BYOND when you play otherwise your scores will not be submitted!

If you plan to have a lot of these, you may want to group all of the individual medals together in to a "Contest Champion" medal or something to reduce clutter.
Yeah I'll probably do that eventually, but what if they win more than one? Then they might not participate next time because they already have the medal. :P
100% with 33.33 seconds to spare on the second try. Wewt.

Showoff. I didn't have much time to learn it. Soccer really cuts in with BYOND time. ;)

100% treasure
27.9 seconds (72.1 seconds to spare)
3473 points

This is going to end up being a much more competitive map, because it isn't quite as difficult as Sanctum.

Looking forward to all of this. :]

I can't beat that. How you did it in 28.2 seconds is beyond me. I can't get under 38. =(

Correction: 34.

I'm starting to leave you guys behind in the dust. :P

How can you possibly be doing it that fast? =(
I'm tempted to set up a VNC to show you guys.
Make a video, then I can use it for the hub page. :P

Tombs explored: 94. Unique tombs: 1. That's how he does it.
:P

There's nothing wrong with that, Foomer. :]

I memorize each level and I figure out which paths yield the shortest mouse distance. Then I play the level again and again until I can get it done reasonably fast with few misclicks and errors.

My current record is at 24.9 seconds.

[Update]: I have an uncompressed AVI file of a 25.0 second run of the level, but I can't seem to compress it with the DivX codec and the cursor got recorded incorrectly.

It was recorded with Fraps.

Uncompressed, it's 25.5 megabytes and around 30 seconds long (~900 frames)

(I also have one of the 24.9 second run, but the frames and audio aren't synced)
Okay I've got the 25.0 encoded and everything. ~4 megabytes, I'm going to put it up on my members page

There are a few mistakes in the run, pretty easy to see.

On a different note... I just did Sanctum in 43 seconds. xD
This is the first time I've played this game since Foomer initially announced it (was a bit of a download on the dial-up, but that's no longer an issue). Gotta say, really enjoying it!
It'd be cool if I could setup the game to upload the scores for every level, and then the game could, upon request, download the top 5 scores for each level from the rankings. Then you can see how well you're doing against the other players online on any level, regardless of whether there's a competition or not.
Pwn'd =P

23.8
Nice! I hope someone can dethrone D4RK3 54B3R in the end, I'd hate to have him winning every time. :P
Oh snap, looks like it's a 3 way competition between Me, Nadrew, and MDNight. :]

This'll be fun. :D
